Every release, newest first.

August 2026

1. 1.1.1778Aug 24Mac
   • Settings can install the `ritual` command line tool for you. One button, and it tells you if your shell needs a line adding before it will find it.
   • Downloads are a disk image now. Drag Ritual to Applications and it opens — no unzipping step for the wrong unarchiver to get wrong.
2. 1.1.1775Aug 24iPhone
   • Hitting Return in the middle of a subtask now splits it in two, the way Return works anywhere else: what was after the cursor becomes the next subtask.
   • Dragging a project into the evening now takes its tasks with it. Turning group-by-project off afterwards leaves them where you put them, in the order they were in.
3. 1.1.1773Aug 24iPhone
   • A morning or evening routine with a single habit now behaves like any other habit on Today: tapping it opens the week gauge and milestones in place, and its title matches the rows around it.
4. 1.1.1771Aug 24iPhone
   • Ticking a task off in the widget now strikes it through where it sits and lets the rest close up after it, instead of sliding it to the bottom of the list first.
   • The large Today widget shows up to five of today's events, and always keeps room for a couple of habits or routine steps — a busy day of tasks no longer pushes them out entirely.
   • A morning or evening routine with a single habit shows as that habit, rather than an accordion you have to open to find one thing.
5. 1.1.1767Aug 24iPhone
   • The large Today widget breathes better. The calendar card sits level in its space instead of pushed down, and the date and the "more" count sit closer to the edges where they belong.
   • Ritual Cloud gains a Reconnect button. If an MCP client says your subscription isn't active while the app says it is, one tap puts the two back in step.
6. 1.1.1684Aug 20iPhone
   • Carries the preview video for Ritual's App Store page, so someone deciding whether to download can watch a task get typed, scheduled and ticked off before they do.
7. 1.1.1682Aug 19Mac
   • The task list uses the whole window now. Widen it and the check circles and the + stay on the right edge, where your pointer expects them, instead of stopping partway across.
   • The window says "Today" once, in the app's own type, rather than twice.
   • A calendar row greys out when its event actually ends, in step with every other surface.
8. 1.1.1679Aug 19iPhone
   • Calendar rows on the Mac panel and the time-blocking dividers on Today now grey out exactly when their event actually ends, on every surface, rather than each keeping its own idea of the time.
9. 1.1.1677Aug 19iPhone
   • Opening the compose sheet is one clean movement again. The card was sliding up while the title box was still settling into its own height, so two animations ran at once.
   • The gap between a calendar event's colour dot and its time no longer changes. It shifted depending on whether something was running right then, and on a 24-hour clock it was wider than it needed to be.
10. 1.1.1675Aug 19iPhone
    • Nothing changes on your phone in this one. It carries the short video that now runs on Ritual's App Store page, so someone deciding whether to download can watch a task get typed and scheduled before they do.
11. 1.1.1667Aug 18iPhone
    • Groundwork for the Mac app's place on the website: Ritual for Mac can now pose for its own screenshots against invented data, so what you see on the site is the real app without anybody's real tasks in it.
    • No changes to the iPhone app in this build.
12. 1.1.1660Aug 17iPhone
    • The compose sheet is calmer while you type. When it picks a date out of your words, only the date button moves; the reminder, due, project, repeat and subtask buttons stay put.
13. 1.1.1658Aug 17iPhone
    • Fixes the compose sheet layout. The title box was taking up the whole card, pushing the notes, the tags and the date buttons down out of the way.
    • The highlight over the words it recognised is much easier to see now, in green rather than a faint grey.
14. 1.1.1656Aug 17iPhone
    • Fixes two cases where words could go missing from a task title. "meeting on the 4th floor" now stays as it is, and a phone number or a page range like "3-7" is left alone instead of being read as a date.
    • "pay rent by the 20th" sets the due date now, the same way "pay rent by friday" already did.
    • The highlighting only marks words that are really going to be tidied away, so clearing a chip keeps its words and shows that it has.
15. 1.1.1654Aug 16iPhone
    • Your task titles come out clean now. Type "gym tue/thu 6pm" and the task is just called "gym", with the repeat and the reminder set for you. The words it used are highlighted as you type, and a line under the title shows exactly what will be saved.
    • It understands more of the way you'd actually say it: "next week", "next month", "next wednesday", "in 10 days", "on the 20th", and dates like "on 8/2" read the way your region writes them.
    • A date that has already passed rolls forward to next year instead of landing behind everything overdue.
    • When it fills something in, that field lights up for a moment, so you can see what it worked out without hunting for it.
    • It is more careful about leaving your words alone. "sat sun camping trip" and "finish 2nd draft" are just titles, and nothing gets highlighted or removed.
16. 1.1.1640Aug 16iPhone
    • Type a task the way you'd say it. "gym tue/thu 6pm" fills in the repeat and the reminder for you, as you type, and "call mom tomorrow" sets the day. No extra taps, no sheets to open.
    • It understands days, dates, times, repeats and due dates: "every other tuesday", "in 3 days", "water plants tonight", "renew passport due sept 5", "submit report by friday".
    • Everything it works out shows up as a chip you can see before you save, and anything you set by hand stays exactly as you left it.
    • This first version leaves the words in your task title. A later update will tidy them away, and will highlight them as you type so you can see what it's about to remove.
17. 1.1.1613Aug 16iPhone
    • Ritual for Mac is here. It lives in your menu bar, shows the same tasks and habits as your iPhone through your own iCloud, and is a free direct download at ritual.from81.app/mac.
    • Settings now shows the data format your tasks are stored in, under About Ritual. It is the number to compare when your iPhone and your Mac disagree about what they can read.
18. 1.1.1602Aug 15Mac
    • Routine headings now line up with the tasks beneath them, so a list reads as one column instead of two.
19. 1.1.1599Aug 15Mac
    • The check now sits on the right of every row, where it is on your iPhone, so the two read the same way.
20. 1.1.1597Aug 15Mac
    • Your Morning routine now leaves the list once its window closes, so an evening glance shows the evening.
    • Command and the arrow keys move a task between the day and the evening, not just up and down within one of them.
    • Opening a task holds the rest of the row still, so only the details slide into view.
21. 1.1.1590Aug 15Mac
    • Ritual for Mac is here. It lives in your menu bar: glance at today, tick something off, or capture a thought without reaching for your phone.
    • Open the full window when you want to plan properly, with the same tasks, projects and habits as your iPhone.
    • Your tasks and habits stay in step through your own private iCloud.
    • Every copy carries the ritual command line inside it, so you can add and complete tasks from a terminal.
    • It keeps itself up to date, so a direct download does not mean checking back for new versions.
22. 1.1.1580Aug 15iPhone
    • Settings is organised into four plain groups: Account, Preferences, Data & Privacy, and Help. Every row now opens a page with the same name, so what you tap is what you arrive at.
    • Sync lives in one place. Your iCloud status and Ritual Cloud used to be in two unrelated spots, one of them behind a row about payment.
    • The FAQ has its own page instead of filling the bottom of the screen, and the calendar switch is just a switch again.
    • Dark mode is a true warm charcoal. The background used to carry a green tint; green now shows up only where it belongs, in the accents.
23. 1.1.1577Aug 15iPhone
    • In the walkthrough, the highlighted button now glows itself — the glass lights up and breathes, instead of a halo appearing behind it.
24. 1.1.1575Aug 15iPhone
    • Settings is now a single menu: every row shows its current setting and opens its own page, so the screen fits on one screenful instead of a long scroll.
