About

Your to-do list isn't a plan. RoutineArc turns it into one: tap Plan my day and what's due is fitted into the gaps between your events. No account, no tracking. ONE-TAP DAY PLAN One tap builds a day plan around your events, your work hours and what's due — ordinary arithmetic over your schedule, not a guess, so it's instant. It honours what you said when you captured, like a hard stop or "this one before that one", and when the day can't hold everything it says how many tasks didn't fit. Export the plan to PDF, or let the On Deck card walk you through one thing at a time. CAPTURE THE WAY YOU SPEAK Type or dictate naturally — "dentist tomorrow at 3pm", "lunch with Sarah at Cafe Roma thursday noon" — and RoutineArc turns it into tasks, events and notes with the date, time, place and priority filled in. Scan a photo or screenshot to pull its text into items. BEAT TASK PARALYSIS Priorities P1–P4 on an Eisenhower matrix you can touch: hold a task and drag it into Do First, Schedule, Delegate or Eliminate. Plus subtasks, tags, recurrence and a weekly review. FOCUS WHEN IT COUNTS Pomodoro, countdown and stopwatch modes, focus and break lengths you set, and per-task sessions started straight from the list. Strict Mode fails a timer you walk away from. END EVERY DAY ALL CAUGHT UP Evening Triage shows overdue tasks one at a time: roll it over, finish it or delete it. Keep It Honest flags anything you've pushed three times. A CALENDAR YOU CAN TOUCH Day and week views with drag to reschedule. Tasks with due times sit beside your events, so the day is one picture. HABITS, NOTES AND INSIGHTS Daily habits with streaks, searchable notes, and insights into your focused time and how long tasks really take. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Five widgets: Day Overview, Home, Tasks, Priority Matrix, and Day Briefing. On iPhone, turn on Live Activity and the current block follows you to the Lock Screen and, where the iPhone has one, the Dynamic Island. ACROSS YOUR DEVICES With iCloud sync on, your tasks, events, notes and habits are the same on each of your devices, in your own private iCloud, and Handoff lets another device pick up the item you have open. ON-DEVICE AI With Apple Intelligence, understanding what you type, summarising a note, and suggesting subtasks run on the Neural Engine — nothing is sent to a server. Without it, a fast deterministic rules engine takes over. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no tracking. Everything the app itself sends goes through Apple. SEVEN DAYS, THEN YOURS TO KEEP Free for seven days — no sign-up, no card. Then RoutineArc turns read-only until you unlock it: everything stays readable, searchable, exportable and deletable, and you can still tick tasks off and defer them. Backing up and restoring by hand stay free for good. Unlock monthly, yearly or once for life; the automatic daily backup and iCloud sync come with monthly, yearly and the Unlimited lifetime unlock. Works fully offline, in Light and Dark Mode, with eight color palettes, adjustable text sizes and high contrast. It does not sync with Apple or Google Calendar: your events live in RoutineArc. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS RoutineArc Unlimited — Monthly: billed per month, auto-renewing. RoutineArc Unlimited — Yearly: billed per year, auto-renewing. RoutineArc Essentials: one payment; capturing and editing forever, without the automatic daily backup or iCloud sync. RoutineArc Unlimited — Lifetime: a single payment that never renews. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings.

What's New in RoutineArc

2.5

October 16, 2026

NEW IN 2.5 Your tasks, events and notes can now be on each of your devices, through your own iCloud. RoutineArc still has no account and no server of its own. SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES • Your tasks and their steps, events, notes, habits, saved places, focus time and what RoutineArc has learned can be the same on each of your devices, kept in your own private iCloud. • It is off until you turn it on: in More > Settings > System > Sync Across Devices, turn on "Sync with iCloud" on each device. It needs iCloud signed in, and comes with monthly, yearly and the Unlimited lifetime unlock, not with Essentials. • Changes go across when you open RoutineArc, when you come back to it, and shortly after you change something. While it is open, it also looks for changes from your other devices about every ten seconds, and iCloud usually tells it at once when another device sends one. The card says when this device last synced. • Handoff: with sync on, the task, event or note you have open on one device can be opened on another nearby. On iPhone it appears in the App Switcher, and on iPad in the Dock. • If two devices change the same item, the later change is kept. A delete wins over an edit to the same item, even a later one. • With iCloud sync on, settings, task photos and business rhythm duties stay on the device where you made them. • To use the same business rhythm and work schedule on every device, turn on "Sync business rhythm and work schedule" in the same card. KEEPING WHAT YOU HAVE • Before the first sync on a device, and before a sync that replaces a lot, RoutineArc saves a copy of what is on that device in Backup & Restore. • Restoring a backup or importing data first backs up what you had on this device, and tells you which backup that is. If it cannot, nothing is replaced. • On a device that syncs, restoring a backup replaces what your other devices have too, as each of them syncs. • On a device that syncs, clearing focus history erases it on your other devices too. BUSINESS RHYTHMS • You can now choose more than one business rhythm in More > Settings > Planner > Business Rhythm, and the plan and the day's tasks follow each one you choose. • "Only on days I work" is on by default: with a work schedule, a rhythm's tasks show only on days that have a shift, and what you did not finish on your last shift comes back on your next one. Turn it off to see them every day. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • When a capture needs an unlock, the words you typed or spoke are kept on Today under "Not saved yet". Add them once you unlock, or discard them. • After a purchase, RoutineArc says what is now unlocked, and how many kept captures are waiting. • Plan my day lists, at the top of the Day Plan, what it could not keep, such as a task that would finish after it is due. • Focus you start on the Focus tab without a task is now recorded, and counts in Insights' total and week. • On iPhone, if you turn on Live Activity, the focus countdown of a Pomodoro, a Timer or Focus Mode shows on the Lock Screen and, where the iPhone has one, in the Dynamic Island. • A large photo you add to a task is saved at 2048 pixels on its longer side, so it takes less room. Photos already added are unchanged. LARGER SCREENS • In a wide window, such as on a Mac or a 13-inch iPad in landscape, the tabs move to a sidebar. • On a large screen, Today and More use two columns, Focus puts its timer beside its settings, the Tasks list is wider, and the Calendar's day and week use more of the width.
