Most gratitude apps want a list of three things and that's it. Gratitude Guide asks why and forces you to answer to move on. It takes longer so you take longer. What's in the app: - Three guided entries each night, with a "what" and a "why" prompt - A moon phase breathing animation between entries to slow you down - Optional nightly reminder - Optional photo on any entry - A calendar of every night you showed up - Search across all your reflections - A streak counter that forgives missed days - Logs to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes - iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad - Export everything as CSV, JSON, or Markdown — your reflections are yours Free. No ads. No forced upgrades. One $1.99 upgrade if you want customizable breathing times. Gratitude Guide is the night app in a small ritual stack. There are two others: - Waking Words — for the start of the day - Mantra Mirror — for the middle of the day You don't have to use all three. They aren't a system. They're three small things for three different kinds of moments. Some nights it will be hard to find three things. Find three anyway.

Rovista brings Tasks, Habits, Routines, and Notes together in one focused system — no more switching between five different apps to stay organized. Most productivity apps force you to pick a category before you even start. Rovista flips that: capture anything in seconds, and shape it into whatever it needs to be — a quick task, a daily habit, a multi-step routine, or a checklist note. LIVE ACTIVITIES THAT ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING Start a routine and watch it live on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — with a running timer, step progress, and real one-tap actions: - Skip or complete the current routine step without unlocking your phone - Check off items in a note's checklist directly from the Lock Screen - See exactly how many steps are left and how much time remains EVERYTHING IN ONE MODEL Task, Habit, Routine step, and Note all live in the same flexible system — so switching between them feels natural instead of like starting over in a new app. STAYS IN SYNC, EVERYWHERE Your data syncs privately across iPhone and iPad through iCloud, so your day looks the same no matter which device you pick up. WIDGETS FOR EVERY GLANCE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your next task, active habit, or in-progress routine one glance away — with quick-complete buttons built in. BUILT FOR YOUR ROUTINE, LITERALLY Multi-step routines carry their own timers per step — need more time? Add 5 minutes right from the Live Activity, no need to open the app. Rovista is designed to disappear into your day: capture fast, track effortlessly, and let your Lock Screen do more of the work. Rovista Premium is offered as an auto-renewing subscription (Monthly, Yearly). Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
