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.

About

Earned Time

Earned Time flips the deal on screen time. Instead of guilt-tripping you with a weekly usage report, it pauses your distracting apps until you've done something that actually matters to you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want paused — social, games, whatever pulls you in. 2. Set up goals from the activities you want to do more of: reading, studying, language practice, anything. 3. Pick which apps count as productive for each activity. 4. Time you spend in those apps is tracked automatically and converts into unlock minutes. 5. Spend your earned minutes whenever you want. Your paused apps come back for exactly that long, then lock again on their own. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT No shaming. No arbitrary limits you'll disable in a weak moment. You set the exchange rate between effort and freedom, and the app just holds you to it. FEATURES • Automatic tracking — productive app time becomes unlock minutes with no timers to start and no sessions to remember • Focus sessions for offline work that no app can measure • Roll over unused minutes so a strong day can fund a slow one • See exactly how you earned: which activity, which apps, how many minutes • Anti-bypass controls — confirmation delays, a daily cap on manual unlocks, or hide the escape hatch entirely • Streaks and achievements • Daily or weekly goals PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account, no sign-up, and no server. Earned Time makes no network connections at all. Your Screen Time data and your goals never leave your iPhone.
