Checking Rituals

New: snap a photo when you check the stove or the lock, and watch your checklist tick off right on the Lock Screen.

Checking Rituals helps you leave places with peace of mind.

Pin a checklist to a place — home, work, anywhere that matters. Add what you always check before leaving: the stove, the iron, the locks, the windows. Tick them off as you go. Walk away with something unchecked, and Checking Rituals reminds you at exactly the right moment.

PHOTO PROOF Mark any item as photo-required and checking it opens the camera. Snap the stove knobs, the locked door. The photo stays attached — so when the doubt comes, you can look instead of turning around.

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Your ritual appears as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with a progress ring and the next item to check. Tick items off without unlocking your phone.

IT RESETS ITSELF Come back home and your checklist is ready for next time. No clearing, no rebuilding.

ALSO

• Rituals for home, work, gym, travel, or any custom place
• Pick locations on the map or use your current address
• Reorder steps into the order you actually walk them
• Notifications on or off, per ritual

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your rituals, addresses, and photos stay on your device. No account, nothing uploaded.

For anyone who has ever turned the car around to check the stove.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Checking Rituals only monitors location for the places you choose, and only to detect when you leave and return.
