Ritua is the daily habit tracker and goal planner for building habits that actually last. Check in with one tap and keep a Ritual Score that survives a missed day. Everything works offline, on your device, with no account. PROGRESS THAT CAN RECOVER A missed day should not erase the work you have already done. • Every build ritual has a Ritual Score from 0 to 100 • A miss dips the score a little; it never resets to zero • Show up again and it rebuilds from the progress you already have • Skipped days and vacation time leave the score alone MAKE THE NEXT STEP OBVIOUS Create a simple “After I…, I’ll…” plan and keep that cue visible in Today. Add a reminder when it helps. Check in with one tap, or count toward a target when the habit calls for more than yes or no. BUILD A RHYTHM YOU CAN KEEP • Track daily, weekly, monthly, or custom rituals • Group the rituals that belong together and run them as one routine • Use flexible streaks that match the schedule you chose, not a rigid daily counter • See heatmaps, calendars, completion trends, and consistency over time • Take a skip day or set vacation time without turning a break into failure • Keep your next ritual close with home-screen widgets BUILD GOOD HABITS. QUIT BAD ONES. Ritua supports the habits you want to grow and the ones you want to leave behind. For a quit ritual, track the days you stay on course, learn from a slip, and keep the full history in view. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Your rituals, notes, and progress live on your device. Ritua works offline and needs no account. Add a note to any day and keep a private journal of the practice. START SMALL. GROW WHEN YOU ARE READY. Start free with up to 5 active rituals and the core habit-building tools. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited active rituals, deeper analytics, vacation mode, and backup export and import.
