Ritual 2.0 — the rebrand.
The app you knew as DeepFocus is now Ritual. Same engine, deeper philosophy: focus is a deliberate ritual, not a fight with your phone.
What's new:
• A new onboarding. Tell us why you're here and what slips — Ritual sets itself up around your answer.
• A new look. A glass-cube orb that breathes with your session. Premium dark canvas, refined serif type, gold accents — designed to feel like a quiet ceremony, not a productivity tool.
• Home Screen widget. Today's lock status at a glance. Countdown when locked, your next scheduled ritual when idle, your day streak when waiting.
• Live Activity. Your active lock now lives on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with a countdown that stays accurate without a push update.
• Apple Watch app. The lock countdown on your wrist, in case the phone is the thing you're trying not to look at.
• Sealed sessions (Pro). Opt into a 60-second breath exit. The ritual doesn't fail when you flinch.
• Schedules with sealing. Lock down a recurring window so your future self can't undo it.
• Insights you'll actually re-open. Today / Week / Month trend cards. Suggested schedules from your own patterns. The longest-lock pill that surfaces a new personal best.
• Ritual Pro. New subscription tier. $29.99/year or $59.99 lifetime, with a 14-day free trial. Unlocks unlimited rituals, sealed sessions, full history, week & month trend insights, and every future Pro feature.
Existing settings, history, and schedules carry over — nothing migrated, nothing lost. Open it, and the rest will feel familiar.
Block apps. Reclaim hours. Begin the ritual.
