Omphalis is a calm home for the things you want to understand, not just get through. Save an article, a podcast, a YouTube talk, a PDF, or a voice note. Every one of them becomes the same clean, readable page, with structure you can actually use. What you get on the very first item Clean reading. Articles arrive without banners, popups, or clutter. PDF layouts are untangled. Podcasts and videos are transcribed. One calm page, whatever the source. Strata. Each piece is broken into 8 to 12 typed moments, so you can see the shape of something before you read it and go straight to the part you came for. Marks. Omphalis quietly underlines the few things worth a second look: a source worth checking, a term worth defining, a claim worth following up. Keep the ones that earn it, dismiss the rest. Listen. Any saved item can be read aloud in a voice you pick, with lock screen controls. What you get as your library grows Connections. Omphalis surfaces what your own library already knew: a piece that echoes something you saved months ago, a claim that sits against another, a bridge between two topics you never filed together. It is descriptive, not predictive. It shows you your library, not a feed. Today. A short daily loop with a clear place to start and a clear place to stop. How is it built Your own thinking and other people's work go through the same pipeline and connect to each other equally. There is no separate bucket for your notes. Omphalis is custodial software. There is no trending tab, no infinite scroll, and no streak to keep alive. Today finishes. Suggestions, not verdicts. The system that picks moments and marks is fallible, and the app is built to show you that rather than hide it. Every suggestion has a keep or a dismiss beside it, and Settings names the substrate plainly. Your library, your data

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. A one-time purchase option is available, so no subscription is required. Switching from another habit tracker? Import your existing history when you set up Ritua and keep building from where you are.
