Most habit apps give you checkboxes. Ritualy gives you a clock. Tell Ritualy when you need to be ready. It plans your routine backwards from your deadline and adapts as your day really goes: skipped steps, slow starts, last-minute swaps. The timeline just recalculates. Perfect for morning routines, evening routines, workout routines or any other routines and rituals. Built for busy people who need to get things done but want to invest in themselves. WHY RITUALY IS DIFFERENT A routine isn't a to-do list. It's a schedule. Every step has a duration. Every routine has a start time or a "be ready by" deadline. The clock does the worrying, so you don't have to. FOR ANY TIME OF DAY Morning routines that get you out the door on time. Wind-down rituals that protect your evenings. Focus blocks for deep work. Ritualy adapts to whatever rhythm you keep. FEATURES β€’ Time-aware: anchor a routine to a start time or a deadline. Ritualy figures out when each step has to happen. β€’ Adaptive: skip, reorder, or start late and the timeline recalculates instantly. No broken streaks. No nagging. β€’ Live coach: a focused step, a large countdown, one thing at a time. β€’ Live Activity & Lock Screen: see the current step and time remaining at a glance. β€’ iCloud sync: your routines on all your iPhones, through your own private iCloud (Premium). β€’ Starter templates: morning, evening, focus, and wind-down routines to copy and tweak, or start from scratch. β€’ Calm by design: no badges, no streaks, no mascots, no social feed, no ads. β€’ Insights: what you actually did, when. Trends, not guilt. β€’ Siri & Shortcuts: start routines hands-free. β€’ Light & dark mode: looks at home everywhere.
