That nagging feeling you've overlooked something? Gone. Risky Business brings clarity to your project risks – capture, assess, decide. For Mac, iPad & iPhone.
Risky Business App – so no risk ever catches you off guard.
Every project carries uncertainty. The only question is: do you know your risks – or will they catch you unprepared? Risky Business App turns that vague gut feeling into clear certainty. Capture your risks, assess them honestly, watch how they evolve – and walk into every status meeting with a clear head.
Professional, yet refreshingly simple. For Mac, iPad and iPhone.
CAPTURED FAST, ASSESSED CLEARLY
Your first risk is ready in minutes – by category, probability and impact, optionally from ready-made templates. The app calculates score and priority for you. Format descriptions and mitigation plans just like in a word processor (bold, italic, strikethrough, code, bullet lists). Quick actions, bulk editing and keyboard shortcuts keep you in the flow.
THE BIG PICTURE: THE RISK MATRIX
See what's really on fire at a glance – every risk in a clear 5×5 grid. Define an intended residual risk and, in the “Current → Target” view, track where each risk should be heading.
THE OVERVIEW THAT REASSURES: DASHBOARD & PORTFOLIO
Key figures, priorities, target attainment and your top risks – across all projects in the Portfolio, with a priority heatmap and a budget per project. Everything in one place, at last.
RISK IN NUMBERS: THE RISK BUDGET
What does a risk really cost? Map probability and impact to monetary values and see the financial expected value per risk – and for the whole project.
NOTHING SLIPS THROUGH: REVIEW CYCLE & REMINDERS
Give every risk its own rhythm: a “Next review” date, a register filter, a dashboard card and gentle reminders make sure no review ever falls through the cracks.
FULLY TRACEABLE: TIMELINE & AUDIT
Every change is logged with timestamp, user and a field-level diff – for the moment someone asks “who changed this, and when?”. Time series, risk movements and an audit log as Excel, CSV or PDF.
IMPRESS AT THE TAP OF A BUTTON: REPORTS & EXPORT
A four-page management report and a cross-project portfolio report – as a PDF or an editable PowerPoint, with your company branding and selectable sections. Made for your next steering committee. Plus Excel import and export.
TOGETHER, BUT SECURE: MULTI-USER & PROTECTION
Built-in user management with multiple accounts, admin roles and per-project permissions. Your shared database is a single file – locally, on a network drive or in your cloud folder – and can be encrypted with a passphrase (AES-GCM). If you like, share a database via iCloud and work on it together in real time (Beta). Face ID / Touch ID adds another layer.
AT HOME IN APPLE’S WORLD
Home and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Center control, Siri shortcuts that even read your risk status aloud, and due-date reminders. Thoughtfully accessible (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, contrast). English, German, Spanish. Universal for Mac, iPad and iPhone.
YOUR DATA IS YOURS
No third-party account, no forced cloud. The database is a file you control – and encrypt whenever you like.
Take control. Sleep a little easier.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
Requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26. If a database is shared across several devices, they all need to run version 2.3 or newer.
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
SECURITY AND SHARING
• Sharing is now limited to invited people: you share an iCloud database via “Invite people …” in the system's sharing window — by iCloud address, with “view only” or “can make changes” per person. Until now, holding the share link was enough for full access, so a forwarded link would have opened the entire database, user accounts included, to a stranger.
• See who has access — and revoke it there: “iCloud & sharing” lists everyone involved with their name, permission and invitation status, with a “Revoke access” button per person. Existing shares are left untouched; a notice offers “Disable link access …”.
• Clear notice for view-only access: if you received a database for viewing only, the app says so permanently at the top of the window. Until now the upload failed silently — an afternoon's work would have stayed on your own device.
• Complete backup, optionally encrypted: a backup now covers the entire database — including user accounts, change history, comments, risk budget, review cycle and report branding. Until now those were lost on restore. “Back up encrypted …” protects the file with a passphrase (AES-GCM); on import the app detects that itself.
• Check passwords as you type: in every password and passphrase field, the eye icon reveals what you entered. With an encryption passphrase, a typo is otherwise final.
NAVIGATION AND HANDLING
• Jump straight to a risk: “Go to risk” (⌘⇧O) finds a risk from anywhere — by number (“R-042” or “42”) or a word from its title.
• Keyboard shortcuts: ⌘1 through ⌘5 switch straight to Dashboard, Portfolio, Register, Matrix and Timeline.
• Always see what you are filtering by: when a project is selected, a banner says so — “Clear filter” takes you back to all projects. Especially helpful on iPhone.
• Optional counter for due reviews: if you like, the sidebar shows how many risks are due for review; clicking it opens the register filtered accordingly. Enable it in Settings under “Reminders”.
• Tidied-up administration: accounts, storage location, encryption, backup and iCloud are now gathered under “Manage database”. Settings keeps the sync status — now visible to every user.
• Join a shared database from the sign-in screen: if you received a share link, “Join a shared database …” takes you straight in, with no local account needed first.
FIXED
• Sharing explained in three steps: the page now spells out the whole sequence — invite, deliver the invitation, hand over the credentials of an account in this database. The third step is the one most often forgotten, and it only surfaces for the invited person, who then cannot sign in.
• A second device now joins the same iCloud database: “Use existing iCloud data” takes you to a list to pick from instead of creating a new, empty database — until now a second device could not find the first one's database, and nobody could sign in there. The list also shows iCloud databases created earlier.
• Signing in to a shared database: the admin password is checked reliably even when the database has several administrators. And while the accounts are still loading from iCloud, the sign-in screen says so instead of offering first-time setup.
• A more responsive sharing page: dialogs in “iCloud & sharing” now react to the first tap.
TECHNICAL
• Improved accessibility: every new control is fully usable with VoiceOver and clearly labelled.
• Ready for iOS 26 and iOS 27: built with the current developer tools and verified on iOS 27 / iPadOS 27 as well as macOS.
Note: Version 2.6 requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26.
