Me+ vs Routinery

Me+

• People who want ready-made self-care routines to start from
• Tracking mood alongside daily habits in one phone app
• Phone-only use on iPhone or Android

Routinery

• People who know what to do but find it hard to start or lose track of time
• Fixed-order routines such as mornings, bedtimes, study blocks and workouts
• Adults with ADHD who want every step timed and announced aloud
• Managing routines by conversation from ChatGPT or Claude

Me+

• Phone app only: the App Store listing describes it as designed for iPhone, and no web or desktop version is offered.
• VIP features need a subscription, and the store listings do not say which features remain free.
• The App Store's in-app purchase list shows other price points, from $7.99 for a month to $69.99 for a year, so the offer shown in the app may differ.

Routinery

• The free plan stops at 2 routines and shows ads. When a subscription lapses, all but the free routines are deactivated.
• There is no web version, no direct sync with Apple Health or calendars, and no export button; data is pulled out through the MCP connection.
• The Mac version is the iPad app: the App Store marks it as designed for iPad and not verified for macOS, and it needs an Apple M1 chip or later.
• The US App Store shows two prices each for monthly and yearly Premium, so the amount charged in the app may differ from either.

Routinery

Step-by-step routine timer

Each step of a routine runs on its own timer and a voice reads out the next one, so the routine carries on while the phone is out of sight. Timers can be stretched and steps skipped or reordered mid-run.

Scheduled routines and quick starts

Set the weekdays and time for a routine and a reminder arrives then. Routines can also be started from home and lock screen widgets, a start link, or Siri Shortcuts on iOS.

Tasks, Anytime list and timeline

One-off tasks get a timer too, tasks you cannot face yet can be parked in Anytime, and the day can be viewed as a list, a calendar or a timeline.

Streaks, statistics and mood

A plant grows for each day a streak is kept, and finishing one routine or task is enough to continue it. Weekly and monthly statistics and a daily mood record show patterns over time.

Shared routines

Share a routine's task list with family or a friend, see how far each person got, and have the result of a finished routine sent to someone you pick.

MCP connection to AI assistants

An MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Gemini CLI view, create and edit routines, with each change confirmed by you first. It is available without a paid plan.
