Rizu is an app for anyone who believes that small things matter. Each day, Rizu invites you to do one tiny, feel-good action. Nothing overwhelming. Nothing demanding. Just one small nudge in the right direction. Call a loved one. Stretch for a minute. Look up at the sky β€” just because. Our philosophy is simple: one small thing is enough. Miss a day? That’s okay. Life happens, and Rizu understands. We’ll keep track of how many times you complete a task, but your streak will never break. No pressure. No guilt. We’ll simply be here β€” quietly waiting β€” whenever you feel ready to come back.

About

Cherish

Read full description

A child's first drawing. A grandmother's ring. The dress you wore on a day that mattered. Too dear to throw away, too many to keep in a drawer. Cherish frames each keepsake with a photo and a short story, and gathers them into a quiet museum of your own. Journals ask for too many words. Photo apps let memories scroll past. Cherish gives one thing one frame, so the objects you love can be seen, not stored. - WHAT YOU CAN DO - β–  Frame every keepsake Each photo sits inside a soft mat with a fine gold line, giving everyday objects the calm of an editorial page. Adjust the crop to fit the frame. β–  Add a short story Title, a few sentences, when it's from, who it belongs to, a category and tags. Words don't have to be long to matter. β–  A color and a gallery for each person Every loved one you add gets their own quiet frame color. Tap a person to open a small museum of only their things. β–  Museum view Walk through your collection as a scrolling gallery, with numbered pieces and museum-style captions. β–  Weekly recap Every Sunday evening, turn the pages of what you framed that week (with a reminder, if you allow notifications). β–  Annual awards Cherish quietly picks pieces like "Most Cherished" and "Long Companion" from your collection. Create awards of your own, too. β–  A farewell ritual When you decide to let something go, send it off with a few words of thanks. The record and the story stay. β–  Share a framed card Export any piece as a framed card image. Your story text is not included. - MADE FOR - Β· Parents keeping kids' artwork, first shoes and milestone mementos Β· Anyone clearing out a family home or planning ahead Β· Minimalists who want to record things before decluttering Β· People holding on to heirlooms and sentimental gifts Β· Anyone who wants a private record, not a feed - PRIVACY - Β· Your photos and stories are stored only on this iPhone Β· No account required Β· Nothing you record is ever uploaded Β· No third-party ad SDKs and no tracking Β· The only network access is reading public App Store information to show our other apps
