Setting goals you will actually remember

Most goals fade because the reason behind them fades. Here is a daily goal reminder app built around your "why."

Setting a goal is easy and forgettable. A week later it is buried under everything else, not because you stopped caring but because nothing kept the reason in front of you.

The reminder carries the reason

Rizen does one thing well. You write down a goal and, more importantly, why it matters to you. Every day it sends a reminder carrying that "why," and a single tap to check in builds a streak for the days you showed up.

No badges, no leaderboards, no dopamine engineering. Just your reason, in front of you, daily.

Your goals and check-ins stay on your device, with no account and nothing uploaded anywhere.
