Your body isn't the same in August as it was in March.
Every other Ayurveda app hands you a type and stops. Ritu measures your proportion, then measures how far you've drifted from it — and gives you one small correction each morning, written for your season and where you actually live.
points above your own
Pitta baseline, today
A dosha isn't a personality. It's a measurement, and it moves.
Ayurveda has two words for this. Prakriti is the proportion you were born with — it doesn't change. Vikriti is where you are this week: after a hot August, a bad month of sleep, a week of travel.
The gap between the two is the only number worth acting on. It's the number no other app will show you, because showing it means admitting the label was never the point.
Three minutes, then two a day.
Twelve questions, in plain language
How your appetite behaves. How you sleep. Which weather is hardest on you. Nine about your whole life, three about the last fortnight — that split is what separates who you are from how you are right now.
No Sanskrit until the result. No account, no email, and you can stop halfway without losing anything.
True most of your life
How does your appetite behave?

You run light, quick and warm.
And right now, Pitta is running high.
Two sentences, not one label
The first tells you your proportion. The second tells you where you've drifted from it. Every other app in this category stops after the first one, which is why its advice never changes.
There is a deliberate pause between them. You are allowed a moment to recognise yourself before being told what to fix.
Three things each morning. Never more.
Something to eat, something to time differently, and something to do for four minutes. Chosen from your drift, your season and what you actually did last week — never a rotation, and never three hard things in one week.
Tap any card to see why you got it, and which classical text it comes from.
Cooling and slightly bitter settles a high Pitta fastest.
After fourteen days
You get to see whether any of it worked.
Two weeks in, the drift chart unlocks — your three doshas plotted against your own baseline, not against an average. It is deliberately locked until then: movement needs a fortnight to be movement rather than noise.
Then it tells you the useful part in a sentence. “It settled in the week you kept meals at the same hours. It climbed again when travel broke the rhythm.”

Ritucharya · living by the season
Written for your climate. Not for North India in 400 BCE.
Ayurveda's six seasons are the part of the tradition every app quotes and none of them adapts. We map them to your hemisphere and climate band — and when a classical season doesn't apply where you live, we say so instead of pretending.
Is any of this real?
Honestly
Ayurveda is a 2,000-year-old observational system, not a clinical one. Most of what it says about food, sleep and timing has never been through a randomised trial, and some of it never will be.
What we're confident about
Regular meal times. A bigger lunch. An earlier, lighter dinner. Consistent sleep. Eating with the season. These are the spine of what this app tells you, and modern chronobiology agrees with all of them.
What we won't do
Sell you herbs. Diagnose you. Tell you to fast or cleanse. Call a food toxic. Mention your weight. Discourage you from seeing a doctor about anything.
Treat it as a well-organised set of habits, framed by a tradition that thought carefully about time.
If it doesn't help within a fortnight, delete it. It's free, and nothing follows you out.

How accurate is a dosha test?
It is a structured self-assessment, not a measurement. Twelve questions will get your proportion roughly right; a practitioner reading your pulse and history will do better. What Ritu adds is the second half — tracking how that proportion shifts — which is where the useful advice lives.
Can my dosha change?
Your constitution — prakriti — doesn't. Your current state does, constantly, with the season, your sleep and your work. Ritu computes the first once and never edits it, then measures the second every fortnight.
Is it really free? What's the catch?
No subscription, no ads, no data sale — there's no server to sell data from. We run an Ayurvedic retreat. A quiet credit sits on Open, About, and this site. There's no in-app banner and no toggle. That's the whole arrangement.
Do I have to eat differently?
Nothing is forbidden and nothing is called toxic. “Ease off” means less, not never, and most of the advice is about when you eat rather than what. There is no calorie count, no portion size, no weight target, and no cleanse anywhere in the app.
Will it work where I live?
Yes — that's the point of asking for your city. The six classical seasons are mapped to your hemisphere and climate band, and any season that doesn't occur where you live simply isn't used.
Is this medical advice?
No. Ritu shares traditional Ayurvedic lifestyle practice. It does not diagnose, does not treat, and will never tell you to stop seeing a doctor. If you have symptoms, see one.
