Ritual75
A small team or single experienced iOS developer can reproduce the core app (local-first habit tracking, HealthKit, widgets, IAP) in a few weeks; open-source habit trackers provide feasible prior art to accelerate development.

Open-source builds that already do this
Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All Ritual75 alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- Onboard to a 75-day template, customize daily targets, check off daily tasks and optionally attach proof photos, view calendar/streaks and share progress cards.
What it still won’t have
- Existing App Store listing, ratings and discoverability
- Polish and small UX/edge-case fixes accumulated in the shipped app
- Cross-device or cloud sync (no account model)
- Any server-side analytics or remote feature flags
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a local-first iOS habit-tracking app in SwiftUI + Swift 5 that implements: personalized onboarding with 75-day templates (Hard/Soft/Balanced/Custom), a daily checklist screen with per-item proof photo attachments saved to the app container, on-device encrypted storage using SQLite/CoreData with export, HealthKit integration for steps and workouts, Home Screen widgets and a function to render 9:16 share-card PNGs, and an in-app purchase subscription paywall using StoreKit. Out of scope: cloud account sign-in, cross-device sync, analytics dashboard. Deliver error handling, unit and UI tests for onboarding, checklist persistence, HealthKit reads, and IAP flows.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
