Ritual
Medication log

Stop wondering whether you took it.

Ritual is a log for the things you take every day, split into morning, midday and evening. One tap records your usual dose. Today’s log is the first screen you see, in light or dark mode, with text as large as you need.

The numbers and screens on this page come from a sample log: a year of generated data the design was built with. None of it came from a real person’s phone, and it couldn’t, because we can’t read anyone’s log.

Morning, midday, evening.

Most medications are taken at a time of day rather than at an exact minute, so the log is split the same way. Each medication sits under the part of the day you take it, and the part you’re in is marked Now. Something you take twice a day shows up in both.

  • MorningUntil 11:00 am
  • Midday11:00 am to 5:00 pm
  • EveningFrom 5:00 pm

Each medication sits under the part of the day you take it. One tap records the usual dose.

Dark mode, for evening doses and for anyone who finds a white screen too bright. It follows your phone’s setting, or you can choose.

Larger text when you need it: one step larger in Settings, on top of your phone’s own text size.

History

The answer to “when did I last take this?”

Every dose you recorded, grouped by day, newest first. Filter by medication or by dates when you’re trying to piece together a week, or when a doctor asks how long you’ve been on a dose.

Adjusted doses
A changed dose is marked on the entry, so you can still see it a year later. 48% of the sample log’s melatonin entries have one.
Nothing found
If nothing matches, it tells you why: you didn’t take it in that period, and when you first did.
Deleting
Removed the wrong entry? You see “Removed 2.5 mg, 27 July” and have eight seconds to undo it.
Patterns

What a year of entries shows.

No scores, just your own record: when you usually take things, which doses you actually change, and the days you took nothing.

36.6 entries a week, averaged across the year.

Each medication keeps the same colour everywhere, so the colour always means the same medication. The three taken only when needed share one grey, and that grey always appears next to a name.

Melatonin is the only medication whose dose really changes.

314 entries, 48% of them above or below the usual 3 mg. Four of the six daily medications hardly change at all.

days with nothing at all

No streaks, no percentages, no red warnings. 6 days with nothing recorded is shown as a plain number.

The ring

The ring shows today.

The ring has one segment for each dose due today, so something you take morning and evening gets two. Segments fill in the same order every day, so a gap in the same place always means the same dose. Three filled after breakfast, one left at bedtime. It starts again at midnight.

Waking

9:37 pm
Closed

Medications you take only when needed don’t get a segment. Nothing is due for them on a given day, so the ring would never close.

Ritual · 8:00 pm
Magnesium glycinate
Usually 400 mg.
One reminder for each part of the day a medication is taken in, and none for a dose you already took. Evening reminders come at 8:00 pm unless you pick another evening time. No counting missed days, no guilt.

Things Ritual does not do.

There is nothing to win here. We left each of these out on purpose.

Streaks
A missed day turns into a broken streak. Ritual records what happened and keeps no score.
Adherence percentages
“98.4%” reads like a grade. “Six days with nothing recorded” is a plain fact, and more useful.
Celebration
No confetti, no badges, no “great job”. Taking your magnesium isn’t an achievement.
Charts in the morning
The charts are in Patterns. In the morning you see today’s log and nothing else.
Colour as the only signal
Every state also has a shape and words: a filled dot with the time you took it, or an empty dot with a Take button.
Sharing and comparison
No feed, no friends, no ranking against other people.
The summary sheet

One page for the appointment.

Ninety days on one page: what you take, how much, when you usually take it, and how often the dose changed. 500 entries, 6 May to 4 August 2026. Bring it to your appointment instead of trying to remember.

Every column covers exactly the dates printed at the top, and nothing else.

Recorded by the person taking these medications, at the time of taking. Entries are self-reported and were not verified by a clinician.
On your device first.

No account needed. Without one, your log is stored only on your phone. With one, it is encrypted on your phone before it is saved, so we can’t read it.

Export is a file.

Print the summary sheet, or export your whole log as a file. What you do with the file is up to you.

Reminders you asked for.

Off until you turn them on. Then one for each part of the day a medication is due, and none for a dose you already took. A reminder shows the usual dose, never what you missed.

The full details are in the privacy policy, including what happens to your log when your phone backs up.
