How Ritualize works

Everything you can do with your retreat in your pocket.

๐ŸŒฟ What Ritualize is

  • A cozy โ€œCare Dayโ€ planner: part to-do list, part wellness journal. A retreat in your pocket.
  • No pressure, no streak guilt. Everything is optional and gentle.
  • Works without an account. Your plans, recipes and lists stay on your phone. You only sign in to sync with friends.

๐Ÿก Home: ready-made days

  • Pick one of eight ready-made Care Days: Sunday Reset, Deep Relaxation, Energizing Glow-Up, Post-Exam Chill, Sick Day, Sunday Scaries Shield, Tough Day Protocol and Low-Energy Sanctuary.
  • Tapping a day loads its rituals and opens Zen Mode right away.
  • โ€œCreate your ownโ€ opens the planner with an empty day.
  • The top bar shows Lisbon weather (tap for details) and a rotating cozy tip.

๐Ÿ“ Plan: build your day

  • 1. Pick a mood. 2. Tap rituals to add them; a tile turns green and shows a number when it's in your day. 3. Adjust your day.
  • Use โˆ’ and + to change each step's time by 5 minutes. Tap a step to add a photo, move it earlier or later, or remove it.
  • The bottom bar shows the number of steps and total time, with a โ€œStart my dayโ€ button.
  • โ€œMaya's Care Dayโ€ adds the seven rituals from the game, and you can send that day to friends on WhatsApp.
  • Save any day as a template to reuse or share.

๐Ÿง˜ Zen Mode: follow along

  • One step at a time, with a ring timer and gentle nudges.
  • Silent by default. Pick Music, Rain, Soft Hum or Ocean under the timer if you'd like sound.
  • Step photos show on their step.
  • When you finish, you get a self-care receipt with your rituals, total rest time and your mood before and after, which you can share on WhatsApp.

โ˜€๏ธ Today: your day at a glance

  • A widget-style page: steps done ring, next ritual, a tip and the weather.
  • Saved to your iPhone Home Screen, Ritualize opens full screen straight on Today.

๐Ÿณ Recipes

  • Cozy recipes filtered by Care Day, each with time and servings.
  • Tick off ingredients and tap steps as you finish them. The next step is highlighted.
  • Snap photos at each step and of the finished dish, then share it with friends.
  • โ€œAdd ingredients to Run Listโ€ saves the recipe to your Vault and puts its ingredients on your list.

๐Ÿงบ Run List

๐Ÿ’ฌ Friends (Care Together)

  • Share templates on WhatsApp. Friends open the link and build their own Care Day from it in one tap.
  • Invite a friend to a Care Day with a date, time and note. They can say โ€œI'm inโ€, add it to their calendar or kindly decline.
  • Post photo check-ins and send progress updates.
  • Group recap: AI turns everyone's updates into a short, kind message that cheers the group on.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Sunday Reset Pact (live sync)

  • Sign in with an email link (no password), then invite friends with a WhatsApp link to connect accounts.
  • Create a pact from your planned day. Everyone follows the same plan, and anyone can update it for the whole group.
  • See each other's progress live as steps are ticked off in Zen Mode.
  • A weekly streak counts Sundays when everyone finished. Send a gentle in-app nudge to friends still going.

๐ŸŽ Care Packages & nudges

  • Wrap your current day as a gift with your name and a note and send it on WhatsApp. Your friend unwraps it and can start it right away.
  • One-tap WhatsApp nudges like โ€œunclench your jawโ€ or โ€œdrink some waterโ€.
Send some care โ†’

๐ŸŽฎ Games

  • Maya's Care Day: help Maya through seven rituals. Brush out her tangles and smooth on a face mask with your finger, and watch her glow.
  • Matcha Barista: whisk, drop in ice and pour milk for a full iced matcha, then jump to the recipe.

๐Ÿ“ธ Photos

  • Add photos to plan steps, recipes, vault items, check-ins and updates.
  • Photos travel inside the links you share, so friends see them too. Each photo is shrunk and size-limited.

๐Ÿ“ฑ On your iPhone

  • Open ritualize-yourself.com in Safari, tap Share โ†’ Add to Home Screen. It appears as โ€œRitualizeโ€ with the leaf icon and opens full screen.
  • WhatsApp buttons jump straight into the WhatsApp app. When sharing photos, the message is copied first so you can paste it as the caption.

๐Ÿ”’ Privacy

  • Without signing in, your plans, lists and vault are stored only on your device.
  • With an account, only friends you connect with can see your name, and only pact members see pact progress.
