Delete your account.
The Rituals — Habit Tracker, published by Kartik Patel. This page explains how to delete your account and the data associated with it.
Do you have an account?
The Rituals is local-first. You can use every core feature — creating habits, logging completions, viewing heatmaps, tracking streaks — without ever creating an account. If you never enabled Cloud Sync, no account exists on our servers, and there is nothing for us to delete.
In that case, simply uninstall the app and all of your data is removed from your device.
- Enabled Cloud Sync in Settings, and
- Signed in using email and password, Google Sign-In (Android), or Apple Sign-In (iOS)
Delete in-app

- 01Open The Rituals on your phone
- 02Tap Settings (gear icon, bottom right)
- 03Tap Account
- 04Tap Delete my account and data
- 05Confirm on the warning screen
Your account and cloud-sync data are queued for deletion immediately and fully purged within 7 days. You will be signed out of the app, and local data on your device will be wiped as part of this flow.
