Your morning routine, evening ritual and workflow — in a calm checklist you will actually follow. If you have downloaded a routine app only to find it demanding streaks and turning a quiet morning ritual into another performance metric, Simplio Daily Routines is the gentle alternative. It is a routine tracker for adults who want reliable rituals without the anxiety — a ten-minute morning routine to start the day, a focused workflow in the middle, and three small steps in the evening that signal work is done. The philosophy is simple: a daily planner should hold the order of your day so your brain does not have to, then disappear when the day is done. Every routine, every step and every history entry stays on this device — no account, no cloud upload, no third-party server reading what you do at 6am. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a 3 day free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Build unlimited routines from custom steps, time them where it helps — five minutes to meditate, ten to journal, twenty to read — and assign them to morning, evening, work blocks or any personal routine schedule you like. The app walks you through one step at a time so you do not have to hold the whole list in your head, with a clean step screen that shows what is now and what is next. An Apple Watch app lets you step through from your wrist, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep the next step glanceable, completion history records what you did without dramatising the misses, and streak analytics are strictly opt-in so the app never shames a slow week. Beyond the daily flow, this routine planner handles the texture of real life. Templates for a morning ritual, a deep work session and an evening or night routine drop in proven structures you can customise rather than building from scratch. Time blocking mode chains routines back-to-back for a structured day, while a free-flow mode lets a slow Sunday breathe. You can pause a routine on holiday, skip a step without breaking the chain, and re-order steps as your life changes — a new baby, a new job, a new gym schedule. Focus-mode awareness means a deep work block does not get pierced by routine reminders for a workout still hours away. The app ships in 39 languages with VoiceOver tested, Dynamic Type and high-contrast support. Everything works offline, including the timer, widgets and history. There is no analytics framework, no marketing email, and no profile sold on. Whether you are a morning person designing a slow start, a knowledge worker structuring deep work, a student with study blocks, or anyone whose day disappears without a plan, this daily schedule companion stays quiet — a productivity routine tool rather than a streak game. Unlock with Pro: • Unlimited routines (free tier: 3 routines) • All widgets, themes and StandBy layouts • Routine templates for morning, deep work and wind-down • Streak analytics and routine sharing • Multi-device sync across iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch Subscription Pricing & Terms Features require a subscription.

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Routine Planner, Habit Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Routine Planner, Habit Tracker has 18K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Routine Planner, Habit Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simplio Daily Routines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Routine Planner, Habit Tracker ships an update fortnightly, Simplio Daily Routines every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
