Ryst
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ryst is a small, private place to put down what you're carrying โ anger, grief, stress, the things that sit too long โ and walk away lighter. Draw the feeling. Shake it. Breathe. That's the ritual. โ Draw, write, or speak whatever weighs on you, then shake it away. โ Feel it break apart through finely-tuned haptics. โ Land softly in guided breathing โ or settle into a longer guided meditation (Ryst+). โ Track how you feel over time: a quiet, private map of your moods and what you release (Ryst+). What you create is never saved or uploaded โ it's destroyed the moment you shake it away. Your history stays only in your own private iCloud, with no ads, no analytics, and no trackers. Your first full release is free. Ryst+ โ an auto-renewing subscription with a 3-day free trial โ unlocks the full experience: unlimited releases, every feeling, guided breathing and meditation, and your private history over time. Ryst is a release ritual โ not therapy, not medical treatment, and not a crisis service. If you are in crisis, please reach out to someone you trust or your local emergency services.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Impulse Training at none against Ryst's 3. Impulse Training also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). Ryst's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
