2019.1

June 5, 2019

Version 2019.1: SUMMARY Routinist was built to focus on the time you can most easily control, your mornings and evenings. However, many of you have requested the capability to create mid-day or one-off routines for the things that don't always fit into your mornings or evenings (Gym, Study, Lunch, etc). *** NEW PREMIUM FEATURE *** • Other Routines -> Premium Subscribers can now create unlimited additional routines. I think you'll really enjoy interacting with these updated, yet familiar routines. And I hope they help you accomplish even more. *** SOME OF MY NEXT TO DOs *** • Calendar Sync - Add the ability to pick which Calendar your routines are assigned to (routines currently appear in the default Calendar). • Other Routines - Add the ability to set start time reminders for these mid-day routines (I would suggest trying Apple's Reminders app in the meantime). Please email routinistdeveloper@gmail.com if you have thoughts/questions/suggestions/etc. Thank you for your support!

4.7

July 2, 2018

Version 4.7: Minor bug fix. Version 4.6: This update fixes a bug that started causing Routinist to crash for many long-time, loyal customers on June 15th. Unfortunately, on June 14th, an unexpected personal matter came up that has required 100% of my time and energy until now. To all of you who emailed or left reviews, thank you so so much! Even if the reviews were negative, it shows that you care about Routinist, and I really appreciate that! I'll be responding to all emails as soon as I can with more detail about what happened & why. If anyone else has questions or if you are curious for more details, please email me: routinistdeveloper@gmail.com Long Live Routinist! Version 4.5 notes were: • A bug was introduced with the nag me feature where the app could crash in some scenarios if an action was skipped or a routine was paused. I think this one has finally been squashed. Version 4.2 notes were: *** NEW FEATURES *** • Nag Me Notifications -> Sometimes we get distracted during an active routine or forget the routine was paused. With Nag Me enabled... • When an action is late, you get reminders after 2, 5 & 10 minutes. • When a routine is paused, you get reminders after 5, 10 & 15 minutes. • Stop Screen From Sleeping -> Your iPhone will not go to sleep when Routinist is open and a routine is active. This setting is off by default. Version 4.1 notes were: *** NEW PREMIUM FEATURE *** • Calendar Sync -> Morning and evening routines are now able to auto-schedule as Apple Calendar Events and the events update as you update your routine. Version 4.02 notes were: Minor cosmetic tweaks and bug fixes. Version 4.0 notes were: SUMMARY Since the inception of Routinist, one set of features has stood out as the most requested by a long shot. In this major update, we’ve implemented that feature set (Premium subscribers only), changed our business model, added iPhone X support, and added various improvements. *** NEW PREMIUM FEATURES *** • Stats -> Simple & motivating statistics like streaks and stats on how many actions/minutes/routines you've completed. • Progress Tracking -> A beautiful calendar view that provides a bird’s eye view of your progress. Each day on the calendar has a circle around it if progress was made on that routine. The circles are colored corresponding to the minutes completed, skipped, and incomplete. Streaks are indicated by connecting circles. • Detailed History -> Tap on any routine in Progress Tracking’s calendar view to drill into the exact history of that routine! Applies to routines started after this update. A lot of app surgery was performed to get this historical information up and running, but Routinist now has an excellent foundation that will allow me to present your history in more and more meaningful ways to you. Feel free to send me any suggestions as to stats that could be shown or how I can present your information to best help you make improvements to your life. *** IMPROVEMENTS *** • iPhone X support • Bug fixes • Design updates *** BUSINESS MODEL CHANGE *** • Routinist has changed to a subscription-based business model (see the Premium page for more details and explanation as to why this change was made). • Current Premium users: You are not losing any access to features you’ve paid for (if this were to ever happen in the future, I will notify you). As far as the new subscription-based features go, you will have access to these for FREE for a while (for timeframe, see note upon next login). Thank you so much for your support! • Current Free users: You are not losing any access to features you’ve had (if this were to ever happen in the future, I will notify you).

Description of Routinist

Routinist helps you achieve goals and build habits by scheduling time for them as part of your everyday routines. ***WHY*** I built Routinist because I got tired of having excuses for why I wasn’t taking action on my goals: I don’t have time... I’m too tired… I forgot… etc. Routinist eliminates these excuses for me. Becoming a better you is hard. It requires motivation, planning, commitment and execution. Only you can keep yourself motivated and committed over the long term. The purpose of Routinist is to help with the planning and execution parts, so you can improve your health, achieve your goals, and continue becoming a better you. ***HOW*** Step 1: List your typical morning routine actions and estimate time for each action. This can be super simple (get ready for day for 45 mins), or as detailed as you like (floss 1m, brush 3m , shower 10m, shave 5m, etc.). Step 2: Enter your desired sleep and Go Time (the time you need to leave for work). Step 3: Add new actions (those small steps towards your goals like flossing or exercising) and their estimated time, and insert them into your routine. Routinist uses this info to remind you when to wake up and go to bed so you have time for your routines and get the sleep you need. Take action during the time you most control: your mornings and evenings. Routinist removes the ‘when’ so you can focus on the ‘what’. ***WHAT*** • Build morning (and evening!) routines • Wake up and bed time reminders • Understand your time constraints and prioritize • Reduce decision fatigue • Routines sync with your Apple Calendar! • Optimize your routine: tweak the time, order and frequency of actions for any routine any time (yes – even during an active routine) • Complete actions, skip actions, and undo skip/complete as needed • Continuously updated routine completion times • Timers & notifications for each action • Apple Watch! Complete, Skip, Pause & Resume from the notifications on the Apple Watch or iPhone notification center • Flexibility: schedule actions on certain days each week or every x days, x weekdays, etc. • Progress Tracking for a birds eye view of your progress • Detailed History of every routine • Dark Mode • 120+ action ideas with suggested times ***WHO*** You. Routinist is probably very different from any other app you’ve tried, and it takes some getting used to. But I strongly believe this unique approach to achieving your goals will make your life better. “Anyone can list out their goals, but they will be quickly abandoned without the help of an app like this… No other goal app compares to Routinist. Worth the time to learn.” “This app enabled me to establish a regular morning routine for the first time in my 45 years of life.” “If you have different times for leaving to work/school everyday but similar morning tasks this is perfect. It is worth the time to try it.” "Your app has enormous potential in helping others reach theirs." ***WHEN*** Now! _______ Routinist does not advertise and is instead supported by Premium membership through an auto-renewing subscription. If you choose to purchase Premium, payments will be charged to your iTunes account, and your account will be charged for renewal 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Auto-renewal may be turned off at any time by going to your settings in the iTunes Store after purchase. The current price is $4.99 USD per month, and may vary from country to country.

Reviews of Routinist

  • Really helps me time block my morning

    The other reviews have led me to believe that this app is no longer being actively supported by the creator (who, if I recall correctly, also has ADHD and I assume has lost interest/motivation for now in favor of a new project). That’s the only thing that has prevented me from getting the paid version, as I find this app much easier to use than other routine/time-management apps I’ve tried. Fortunately, the lack of updates has not interfered with this app’s functioning at all, and I definitely recommend it!

    I only wish I could add additional routines (something that’s available in the paid version), and I kind of wish the bars extended to visualize the extra time spent when I go overtime on a task. I also wonder if timer circles would work better for me rather than timer bars/lines. However, I love that even in the free version you can enter up to 15 tasks and that you can constantly move those tasks around or edit them when you need to change things up from one day to the next.
  • One of my longest-running and all-time favorite time management apps

    I have been a premium subscriber for years and Routinist is one of my all-time favorite apps! There are so many organizational and productivity apps on the App Store, but none of them work for my needs quite as perfectly as Routinist does. The ability to start with my departure time (in the morning) and work backwards to the start of my evening routine (while also calculating the time for sleep and everything in between) has been a game changer for me. I hope this app never goes away!
  • Like it but no more active support

    The developer does not respond to emails and the app has not been updated in years. It’s a solid app with no glitches or anything but things and situations change and app developers need to accommodate.

    For example I would like to see an option for a toggle in routines to auto complete tasks. This is helpful if you just need the notification beep too know when to switch to the next task but are unable to actually go in the app and check off the item. Examples: cleaning, shower routine (basically any hands free tasks)
    Sad it’s not an option
