You opened Instagram for "just a second." Twenty minutes later, you don't even remember what you came for. Screen Time tells you about the scroll the next morning. Ritual stops it before it starts. Ritual is a focus app for people tired of fighting their phone. Set a ritual — a deliberate window where the apps that pull you away simply don't open. No willpower required. No shame after the fact. Just a clean intention, and the time to live it. — WHY RITUAL — The system Screen Time gives you the stats. Ritual gives you the actual block. • "Ignore Limit for 15 Minutes" is a one-tap escape on the system blocker. There is no such button in Ritual. • System limits drop after a phone restart. Ritual holds. • Sealed sessions add a 60-second breath exit. Ritual is designed so the moment of impulse can pass before the lock can. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — • Block any app. TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, mail, games, news. Pick freely from the system app list. • Schedule windows. "9–5 weekdays, no social. After 9 pm, no work." Set it once, the schedule runs forever. • Manual ritual. One tap, lock for 30 / 60 / 90 minutes — or any duration you set. • Seal the ritual. Opt into a 60-second breath exit. The ritual doesn't fail when you flinch. • See your patterns. Which apps cost the most hours, which days you held the line, which hour your willpower breaks. • Streaks that aren't a game. Your longest lock, your weekly trend, the month that turned the corner. Private. For you. • Home Screen widget. Today's lock at a glance — countdown when locked, your next ritual when idle. • Live Activity. The lock lives on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while it's running. • Apple Watch. The countdown on your wrist, in case the phone is the thing you're trying not to look at. • iCloud sync. Schedules, history, and progress follow you to every device on your Apple ID. — THE 14-DAY FREE TRIAL — A focus app should never ambush you with a charge. You get 14 days, fully free. Your card is charged on day 14, never before. Cancel any time from Settings, one tap. We even put the cancellation link inside the app. — RITUAL PRO — Annual with a 14-day free trial, or one-time Lifetime. Both unlock everything: unlimited rituals, sealed sessions, full history, week and month insights, and every future Pro feature. Lifetime is for people who already know — yours across every iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch on your iCloud. — WHAT RITUAL IS NOT — • Not a guilt trip. The shame mirror trick stops working in three days. • Not a streak game. Your streak is private; you're not playing it for an audience. • Not a productivity hack. Productivity is a side effect of presence, not the point. — PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS — Ritual uses Apple's Family Controls framework to enforce your blocks. Everything runs on-device. We do not see which apps you block, when you lock, or how long you stay. There are no ads, no data sold, no profiles built. Read the privacy policy — it's two pages, written in plain English. — A RITUAL YOU CAN KEEP — Most blockers feel like a fight. Ritual feels like a decision you already made — to stop arguing with your phone twenty times a day, and get back the part of your life that used to belong to you. Block apps. Reclaim hours. Begin the ritual.
