Routinery vs TeddyCare

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

TeddyCare

• Adults who want the day organized into morning and evening routines
• People happy to build their own routines step by step for free
• Those who want a short questionnaire to draft a first routine

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.

TeddyCare

• Ready-made routines need TeddyCare Plus; the vendor itself says a fully free app may suit people who want every feature unlocked.
• The vendor's site gives no prices, and the US App Store lists Plus Membership at eight amounts from $3.99 to $79.99 without billing periods.
• The App Store lists the iOS app as iPhone-only. The website drafts a sample routine, but tracking happens in the phone apps.
• The vendor states that TeddyCare is not a medical, therapy or baby-care app and that its quizzes are not a diagnosis.

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.

TeddyCare

Morning, evening and custom routines

The day is organized into repeatable routines that you build step by step, from a calm morning or a focused workday to a weekly meal-prep or self-care ritual.

Habits and streaks

Habits are tracked alongside routines, with a streak for staying consistent and a view of progress over time to show what is working.

Reminders

Notifications arrive when a routine or habit is due, so the plan for the day does not depend on remembering to open the app.

Web routine builder

Five short questions on the website about your energy, goal and available time produce a morning and evening flow with times, which can then be tracked in the app.

Ready-made routines

Preset routine and habit templates mean you do not have to start from a blank page. They are part of TeddyCare Plus.

Quizzes, guides and breathing

Self-reflection quizzes, curated articles and routines by category, and a breathing exercise are included; the quizzes and the breathing exercise are free.
