Rise in Silence helps you build the discipline that speaks through results. Not another habit tracker. Not another streak counter. Rise in Silence is built for people who show up every day — without needing applause. DAILY RITUALS Create rituals with flexible schedules: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom intervals like every 3 days or specific weekdays. Each morning, your missions are ready. Complete them, skip when life happens, and attach photos to document your progress. LUNAR CALENDAR SUPPORT Set recurring practices on specific Vietnamese lunar calendar days — the app converts them to the correct Gregorian date automatically, every month, every year. Built specifically to support Vietnamese traditional lunar-calendar practices. DEEPWORK FOCUS SESSIONS Launch a timed focus session directly from any mission. Three modes, each with its own visual environment: • Focus Mode — Deep indigo breathing visuals for cognitive work: reading, writing, coding, studying. • Gym Mode — High-energy rapid pulses for physical training. • Metronome Mode — Precision rhythm with adjustable BPM for musicians practicing instruments. • Built-in ambient focus music with lock-screen controls — no app-switching needed. Track your total focus hours today, this week, this month, and lifetime. CHRONICLE See your discipline over time. A color-coded mission calendar and a scrollable deepwork session log make your consistency visible — so you never forget how far you have come. BUILT FOR FOCUS, NOT FOR NOISE - Dark, distraction-free interface - No guilt-trip notifications. No gamified vanity metrics. - Push notification reminders on your schedule - English and Vietnamese language support - Sign in with Apple or Google - Account deletion available in-app PREMIUM Unlock higher limits for rituals, deepwork sessions, and mission photos with Rise in Silence Premium.
