Rito

Rito is built for people who want to act with intention, not just plan. Turn your tasks into swipeable cards and focus on one commitment at a time: swipe right to complete, left to postpone. No endless lists that create anxiety — choose what to tackle each day and stay clear-headed. WHY RITO STANDS OUT • One task at a time — reduce mental overload and work with real focus • Intuitive swipes — complete or postpone with a natural gesture • Undo with a shake — shake your device on the home screen to restore your last action • Offline-first — your data stays on your device, no account required • Privacy by design — no ad tracking, no cloud profiles ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Create custom lists for work, home, fitness, or any area of your life. Drag cards to reorder priorities the way that feels right to you. Plan your day by selecting cards to tackle today and track progress with stats and streaks. TIMER AND FOCUS SESSIONS Work in deep blocks with the built-in timer: quick start, Pomodoro mode, short and long breaks, or a custom duration. Live Activities and widgets keep you updated even outside the app, so you stay focused until the finish. ROUTINES AND RITUALS Routines never end up in completed — every day they're ready to be selected again, perfect for recurring habits like a morning routine or lunch break. Rituals combine the tasks that shape a moment — morning, break, evening — and call them back in one tap whenever you need. Start a ritual and the app selects the right routines, creates the necessary todos, and adds the planned special cards. SPECIAL CARDS FOR WELLBEING AND GROWTH Nurture balance and awareness with short guided content: • Guided breathing — relax and regain focus • Regenerative stretching — energy for work breaks or the start of your day • Emotions — targeted questions to connect with what you feel • Reflection — deep introspection, one step at a time • Gratitude — daily reflections to cultivate positivity • Personal growth — motivating phrases to discover and complete Complete special cards to unlock new phrases and enrich your journey. DAILY TOOLS Quick notes, priorities, counters, daily goals, and appointments — all integrated to keep the thread of your day in one place. Add a tracker to any task to follow repetitions and progress. CUSTOMIZATION Light, dark, or system theme. Interface available in multiple languages. Rito is more than a reminder app: it's your space to act calmly, build solid habits, and take care of yourself — one gesture at a time.
