Switching from Habitify
Habitify exports a clean CSV of every log you have ever made. Ritua reads it directly, including the amounts, the units, and the difference between a skipped day and a failed one.
What comes across
- Every habit in the export, matched by its Habitify habit ID so two habits with the same name stay separate
- Every completed log, on its own date
- The amount you logged and the unit it was in, for habits you tracked by quantity
- Days marked Skipped, which stay skips in Ritua rather than counting against you
What changes
Your streak number may be different here, and that is the point.Ritua counts a streak against the schedule you set rather than against the calendar, so a ritual you do three times a week keeps its streak through the days off instead of breaking every Tuesday. A skipped day bridges rather than resets. The number you land on is usually the more accurate one. You cansee exactly how it is countedbefore you move anything.
These do not come across:
- Days marked Failed arrive as ordinary missed days. That is deliberate: a failure is a miss, and turning it into a skip would quietly flatter your history.
- Habit colours, icons, reminder times, and areas, which Habitify does not include in the CSV export.
Getting the file out of Habitify
Open the Settings tab in Habitify
The export lives in the app rather than only on the web, so you can do this from the phone you already have it on.
Choose Import / Export
This is the section that holds both directions. You want the export half.
Choose "Export as .csv"
Habitify builds the file and hands it to your device's usual share sheet.
Save or send the file to yourself
Save it to Files, Drive, or email it to yourself, so you can pick it from the phone you are installing Ritua on.
What you should have: A single .csv file whose first row reads Habit, Date, Total log, Unit, Status, Habit ID. Each later row is one habit on one day. If your file has those six columns you have the right one, and the file name does not matter: Ritua identifies the format by reading the contents.
Getting it into Ritua
Install Ritua and open it
You do not need an account, and there is nothing to sign up for. Do this on whichever phone you want your history to live on.
On the welcome screens, tap "Been here before? Restore from backup"
It is the underlined line beneath the main button, and it is there on every intro slide. Do it now rather than later: restoring during setup is free, while the same action from Settings afterwards is part of Premium.
Pick your file, then choose Merge or Replace all
Ritua works out the format by reading the file itself, so a renamed or re-shared file still imports. Before it writes anything it shows you what it found, counted out as rituals, logs and settings, along with anything it had to leave out. Nothing changes until you choose.
The import reads the file on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, and Ritua has no account system and no server to upload it to. If the file is not one Ritua recognises, it says so and writes nothing.
However many rituals you bring, they all come in. Ritua's free tier tracks five active rituals, but that limit is on creating new ones, not on recovering what you already had. An import of twelve habits restores twelve.
What is different here
- It works with no account at all
- Habitify is built around an account that syncs your habits to its servers. Ritua has no account and no sign-in. Your history lives on your phone, which is why the import happens on the device rather than through an upload.
- Streaks follow the schedule, not the calendar
- A ritual you do four times a week keeps its streak through the days off, and a day you skip on purpose bridges the streak rather than ending it. That is the usual reason an imported streak number differs from the one Habitify showed.
- Export is free, and so is getting your data back out
- Everything Ritua can import, it can also export, in the same two shapes. There is no tier where your own history stops being downloadable.
And one thing Ritua does not do: Ritua does not sync between devices. Habitify keeping the same habits on your phone, your Mac, and the web is a genuine advantage, and Ritua does not match it: moving to a new phone means exporting a backup and importing it there. If multi-device sync is why you use Habitify, this is the trade you would be making.

Questions
Do I need a paid Habitify plan to export?
Habitify's help centre documents the CSV export under Settings, Import / Export, without naming a plan requirement, but several users report the export sitting behind the paid tier. If you cannot see the option, that is the likeliest reason. Nothing on the Ritua side requires a subscription to import.
What happens to the amounts I logged, like 30 minutes or 5 km?
They come across as amounts, not as ticks. Ritua reads the Total log column as the count for that day and keeps the Unit as the ritual's unit, so a 30 minute day stays a 30 minute day rather than becoming a plain completion.
How are Skipped and Failed days treated?
They are told apart, which matters. A Skipped day becomes a Ritua skip, so it bridges your streak instead of breaking it. A Failed day becomes an ordinary missed day. Importing both as completions would inflate your history, and importing both as misses would punish you for rest days you took deliberately.
Is my data uploaded during the import?
No. Ritua reads the file on your phone and has no server to send it to. This is the same reason it cannot sync: there is nothing in the middle.
Can I try Ritua without deleting Habitify?
Yes, and it is the sensible order. Exporting from Habitify changes nothing in Habitify, so you can import into Ritua, use both for a couple of weeks, and only then decide. Nothing about the import is one-way.
