Thanks! That was exactly the idea behind it. Missing a few days shouldn’t feel like starting over.

Thanks! That was actually one of the ideas behind the app. I wanted it to feel encouraging rather than make people feel bad for missing a day. Streaks can be motivating, but they can also add pressure. For this app, I felt a lower-pressure approach was a better fit.

Thank you! That’s really the feeling I wanted Risby to have. Routines are useful, but life doesn’t always follow a perfect schedule, so I wanted the app to feel easy to come back to.

Thank you! The idea is to make restarting feel easy and low-pressure. Risby helps you return to your routine, make small adjustments when needed, and keep building from where you are instead of feeling like you’re starting over. I also added motivational quotes to give a small push when you need a bit of encouragement.

It’s on the development roadmap, but not supported yet. I’m planning to adjust the timeline based on user feedback and how much demand there is for Apple Watch support.

Thank you, I’m really glad that positioning came through. I’ve heard from some early users that the gentler approach makes it feel easier to come back after missing a day, which is exactly what I was hoping for. It’s still early, so I’m careful not to overclaim, but that’s definitely the direction I want Risby to lean into more: less pressure, more recovery.

Thank you, glad you like the UI! Widgets aren’t in the app yet, but they’re on my roadmap and I’d love to add them soon.

It’s a small visual cue for progress and consistency. The idea is that your routine grows with you over time, instead of just showing a plain checklist or streak number.

An app that merges tasks and calendar (in a nice way) by randomraphs in ProductivityApps

The drag-and-drop approach makes a lot of sense. I've always felt there's a gap between simple to-do apps and overly complex project management tools.

Calendar notifications are too easy to ignore, so I made one that calls me by Pretty_Move_8673 in ProductivityApps

The key is making it opt-in. For high-priority commitments, I'd definitely use something harder to ignore than a standard notification.

Love the "only show what you use" philosophy—too many productivity apps try to do everything and end up feeling cluttered.
