Habits on your own schedule.

Most habit trackers assume every habit is a daily habit. Real life is not that tidy. Ritual lets every habit keep its own rhythm — and makes sure your streak understands it.

A schedule that fits the habit.

Every habit, its own rhythm

Set each habit to run every day, on weekdays, on weekends, on a custom set of days (Mon / Wed / Fri), as a weekly target — three times a week, any days you like — or on a fixed interval, like every third day. You choose per habit, not once for the whole app.

Rest days are rest days

Ritual never counts an unscheduled day as a miss, and reminders only arrive on days the habit is actually due. One schedule, honoured everywhere: the streak math, the reminders, the widget and the Watch app all read the same one. Your whole week sits on the streak board as a seven-day strip — what is done, what is still due today, and what was never scheduled in the first place.

Streak tracking

A year in one glance

A contribution-style heatmap for every habit, so a year of effort fits on one screen. It is free — the whole heatmap, not a teaser of one.

Habit Insights — Ritual Pro

Correlations between your habits, the days you are strongest, and the one habit quietly dragging the rest down. Paired with a Weekly Review that sums up the week you actually had.

Habit stats and insights

On your home screen, your Lock Screen, and your wrist

Interactive widget

Check a habit off without opening the app. The home screen widget logs with a single tap, and Lock Screen accessories plus a Control Center control keep today's progress one glance away.

Apple Watch app

A native watchOS app, not a mirrored screen. Raise your wrist, tap, done.

Missed yesterday? Tap it

Tap any day in the week strip to backfill it, so a busy Tuesday does not quietly erase three weeks of work.

Streak Rescue

When a long streak breaks, Ritual says so instead of letting you silently give up. Pro members can spend a Streak Freeze to restore the day.

Private by default

Your habits stay on your device — no account to create, no ads, nothing sold. Habit names are never included in the anonymous analytics we do collect, and a test suite fails the build if one ever could be. Read the full policy.

Optional iCloud Sync — Ritual Pro

Habits are stored locally using SwiftData. Turn on iCloud Sync and your own devices stay in step — inside your own iCloud, with no server of ours in the middle.

Questions. Answers.

Does every habit have to be daily?

No — that is the point of Ritual. Each habit can run every day, on weekdays, on weekends, on a custom set of days, as a weekly target ("three times a week", any days you like), or on a fixed interval ("every third day"). An unscheduled day is never counted as a miss, and reminders only fire on days the habit is actually due.

Is it really free with unlimited habits?

Yes. There is no habit cap, ever. Every schedule type, the streak board, tap-to-backfill, the full year heatmap, the interactive widget, Lock Screen and Control Center, the Apple Watch app, habit templates and one reminder per habit are all free. Pro adds Streak Freeze, Habit Insights, the Weekly Review, Groups and Tags, CSV and JSON export, iCloud Sync, and up to three reminders per habit.

Does the widget work without opening the app?

Yes. Ritual uses WidgetKit interactive widgets (iOS 17+), so you can tap a habit directly on your home screen and it marks complete — no app launch required.

What Apple Watch features are included free?

The full Watch app is free: view your habits, mark them complete, and see today's progress — all from your wrist. One tap, instant sync to your iPhone.

Does Ritual sync across devices?

Habits are stored locally using SwiftData. iCloud Sync is a Pro feature: turn it on and your own Apple devices stay in step, entirely inside your own iCloud, with no server of ours in the middle.

What data do you collect?

No account, no ads, nothing sold. Your habits — names, notes, completions, streaks — stay on your device. Ritual does use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics for anonymous usage events and crash reports, and habit content is deliberately kept out of both (a test suite fails the build if a habit name could reach them). App announcement push notifications are off by default and opt-in. The privacy policy spells out every field that leaves the device.

Is Ritual a medical or clinical tool?

No. Ritual is a personal productivity app for habit tracking. It is not a medical or clinical tool. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for health, mental health, or behavioral guidance.
