# Routinery

> Routine planner that runs each habit on a step-by-step timer

Routinery is a routine planner and habit tracker for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Android. Habits are stacked into a routine with a fixed order, and when the routine runs each step gets its own timer while a voice announces what comes next. The free plan covers 2 routines and shows ads; Premium, sold as a subscription or as a lifetime purchase, lifts the routine cap and removes the ads.

## Key features

- **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.

## Good for

- 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

## Worth knowing

- 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.
