Your habits stay yours.
Ritua is local-first: your rituals, notes, and history live on your device, not on our servers, because we don’t have any. Here’s exactly what that means, in plain terms.
Private by architecture, not by promise.
Most apps ask you to trust a privacy policy: a promise about what they’ll do with the data they collect. Ritua works the other way around. There’s no account and no cloud, so your habit data is never collected in the first place. It’s created on your phone, stored on your phone, and stays there. That’s not a setting you switch on; it’s how the app is built.
What Ritua can’t do
The best privacy guarantee is one that isn’t possible to break.
We can’t read your rituals.
There’s no server to send them to. Your habits, notes, and history exist only in the app, on your phone.
We can’t sell or share your data.
We collect none of it, so there’s nothing to sell, share, or hand to an advertiser. Ritua shows no ads and contains no trackers.
We can’t lose it in a breach.
There’s no central database of Ritua users to hack. The only copy of your data is the one you hold.
We can’t lock you in.
Export everything to a standard file whenever you like and take it elsewhere. Your history is always yours.
The only things that ever leave your phone.
We’d rather be specific than say “we care about privacy.” Two things, both on your terms:
Purchases
If you buy Premium, the App Store, Google Play, and RevenueCat handle the transaction using an anonymous ID. We never see your name, email, or card. If you never buy anything, Ritua makes no network calls at all.
Backups you export
When you export your data and share it, that file goes wherever you choose to send it, and only then. Ritua never uploads it on its own.
How that compares.
The differences that add up to an app you can actually trust.
| Aspect | Most habit apps | Ritua |
|---|---|---|
| Account to sign up | Usually required | None |
| Where your data lives | Their cloud servers | Only your device |
| Analytics & tracking | Common | None |
| Ads & ad identifiers | Common | Never |
| Sells or shares data | Sometimes | Nothing to sell |
| To unlock features | Subscription | Free, or pay once |
Take your data anywhere.
Local-first shouldn’t mean trapped. Export a full backup as JSON, or a plain CSV spreadsheet, any time from Settings, and import it back, or bring your history in from other habit apps. Nothing is proprietary, and nothing is held hostage.
Private by design, from the first tap.
No account to make. Nothing to opt out of. Just open it and start.
