Routinery

Routinery is an Android and iOS app for building routines and habits through timed, step-by-step task sequences. Its timer guides users through each step, with options to pause, skip ahead, advance automatically, adjust timing, or play white noise. Voice alerts and push notifications provide prompts while a routine is underway. Users can schedule routines by weekday and time of day, then review completion analytics across daily, weekly, and monthly tracking. Routinery also offers popular and celebrity routine suggestions. It can connect through MCP to ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI assistants for viewing, creating, and editing routines. The connection uses OAuth 2.0, and users must confirm routine changes before they are applied; routine data is shared with the selected AI platform. The free plan allows two routines and unlimited checklists. Premium costs $5 a month or $36 a year. The App Store listing describes it as useful for people managing ADHD, busy schedules, or habit building.

Routinery combines timed routine guidance, scheduling, and completion tracking in one mobile app. Its free plan includes unlimited checklists but allows only two routines; paid plans cost $$5 monthly or $$36 yearly.

Routinery may suit people building habits or managing busy schedules, including people managing ADHD. It is available on Android and iOS.

Overview

Routinery is a mobile app for building habits through ordered tasks with timers and prompts. It is best suited to people who want help moving through a routine, especially those managing busy schedules or building consistency. Its free plan is useful for trying the guided approach, but the two-routine limit makes a paid plan necessary for broader use.

Key features

Timed task guidance

Each routine runs as a sequence of timed steps, with voice alerts and push notifications to keep the next task in view. Users can pause, skip, adjust timing, or enable automatic progression, and white noise is also available. These controls make Routinery more useful than a static checklist when prompts and pacing matter; for someone who only wants to jot down tasks, they may be more than needed.

Scheduling and progress

Routines can be scheduled by weekday and time of day, and recurring schedules are supported. Daily, weekly, and monthly tracking with completion analytics gives users a way to review consistency instead of relying on memory. Calendar sync adds a connection to calendar-based planning.

Routine ideas and AI access

Popular and celebrity-recommended routines can help users get started without designing every sequence from scratch. Routinery also connects to ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI assistants through MCP, which can view, create, and edit routines. OAuth 2.0 is used, and changes require explicit confirmation before they take effect. Routine data is shared with the AI platform the user selects, so this feature is best for people comfortable with that exchange.

Privacy and support

Routinery’s Korean privacy policy says it does not sell personal information and describes consent-based use of marketing and nonessential tracking. Questions and feedback can be sent to [email protected].

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited checklists, but caps users at two routines. That is enough to try the app or maintain a very small set of sequences; it is a meaningful constraint for anyone organizing several parts of the day.

Premium Monthly costs $5 a month, billed monthly. Premium Annual costs $36 a year, billed annually. Both paid plans remove the stated two-routine cap; the annual plan suits users committed to keeping Routinery, while monthly billing avoids committing to a full year. A 7-day trial is offered. There are no seat-based limits stated.

Platforms

Routinery is available on Android and iOS. The App Store listing supports iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Cross-platform support makes it a reasonable fit for users who switch between mobile ecosystems, while its focus remains on mobile apps.

Who it's for

Routinery is a strong fit for people who benefit from timed prompts, including users managing ADHD, busy schedules, or habit building. It is less compelling for people who simply need an unrestricted checklist or prefer planning without timed guidance.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Adjustable step timers, voice prompts, and automatic progression support follow-through during a routine.
• Pros: Recurring scheduling and daily-to-monthly completion analytics pair planning with progress review.
• Pros: Unlimited checklists on the free plan provide room for task lists beyond the two saved routines.
• Cons: The free plan’s two-routine cap limits users who want separate sequences for many situations.
• Cons: Using MCP shares routine data with the selected AI platform, a trade-off for users who want AI-assisted editing.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Routine Planner Apps. Choose Awakee if you want an iOS or macOS option with a free plan and trial, and can work within its finite routine and habit limit. Routime AI is a free Android, iOS, and web alternative. Routinely also has a two-routine free tier, with up to five habits per routine, and supports iOS and macOS. Spaced Repetition Tracker is a better fit for study planning, with a free allowance of two subjects and six topics each, plus unlimited sessions. Thruday offers visual daily planning, priority to-do lists, reminders, images and colors, and breathing exercises across Android, iOS, and web. Tiimo is worth considering for selected planning tools across Android, iOS, macOS, and web, though its free plan excludes the web app. TimeBloc is another Android and iOS routine option, with premium features including unlimited routines and calendars, advanced notifications, and statistics. TimeTune is Android-only and offers free time blocks, reusable templates, statistics, custom reminders, and completion marking.

Verdict

Choose Routinery if timed, adjustable guidance and progress tracking are central to how you want to build habits. The combination of scheduling, prompts, and analytics gives routines structure beyond a checklist. Look elsewhere if two routines are not enough on the free plan, or if you want a simple task list without step-by-step timing.
