You've checked the boxes. The day still didn't happen. Routinery tracks your routines and then runs them with you. App of the Day 2026 (Apple) - Best ADHD App of 2025 (Forbes Health) - 5 million downloads A habit tracker, routine tracker and day planner in one. Stack small habits into a daily routine, break it into 1-5 minute steps, and each step runs on its own timer while a voice calls out what comes next. Morning routines, bedtime wind-downs, study blocks, workouts, medication - anything with a fixed order runs the same way. WHY IT WORKS - Starting gets easier. "Study" is too big to begin; "sit at the desk, 1 min" is not. Small steps lower the cost of the first move. - Nothing to decide mid-run. You set the order once, when you built the routine. Nothing left to choose means less to stall on. - Wins come back often. A finish is logged every step, not once a day. - No time math. You set each step's length once. Sink into one thing and the voice pulls you out, so an afternoon doesn't vanish. ASK CHATGPT OR CLAUDE TO BUILD IT - "Make me a 40-minute weekday morning routine" and it lands in the app. - Your assistant can handle routines alongside other tools you've connected there, like Google Calendar. - Connects to ChatGPT, Claude and others over our MCP server, included in the free plan. IT STARTS ON TIME, SCREEN OR NOT - Set the weekdays and time; the reminder arrives then. Weekdays only, three times a week, whatever your schedule. - The voice reads each step aloud, so the routine keeps running while you shower or cook. - A home screen widget shows today's list without opening the app. - Start on the phone, carry on from watch, tablet, or Mac. STAY DEEP IN ONE THING - A pomodoro that announces the next task, so the block keeps its own momentum. - Build the environment: white noise, Focus mode, landscape view, Shortcuts. - Stretch a timer, skip a step, reorder what's left - all without leaving the run. DON'T DO IT ALONE - Share a routine's task list with family or a friend and see how far each of you got. - Finish a routine and the result goes straight to the person you picked. SEE IT ADD UP - A plant grows for each day you keep a streak; weekly and monthly stats show what holds. FOR THE DAILY AND THE ONE-OFF - Keep undated tasks and weekly repeats in one daily routine planner. - A one-time task gets a timer too. - Can't face it now? Park it in Anytime for later. - Shift work that moves weekly still fits: Morning, Afternoon, Evening. - See the day as a list, a calendar, or a timeline. WHO USES ROUTINERY - Adults with ADHD who know the task and still can't start - People who lose hours once they sink into something - People who double-check in case they missed one - Anyone who waits to start until they can do it perfectly - Shift workers, people on daily medication, parents on the school run - Anyone who wrote a routine down and never once ran it ROUTINERY AT A GLANCE Is Routinery free? Yes. 2 routines free, no account, first one running in under a minute. Premium lifts the routine cap: monthly, 6-month or yearly. The free plan shows ads; Premium is ad-free. Do I need an account, and what about privacy? No account, no sign-up. Routine data is stored on our servers; usage analytics go through third-party tools. What you type is never used to train AI models. Email hello@routinery.app and we delete your data. Does Routinery work offline? Almost entirely. Routines, timers, voice, reminders and history run offline. Only device sync needs a connection. What does Routinery connect to? Siri Shortcuts, widgets, Apple Watch, and AI assistants over MCP. No direct sync with Apple Health or calendars. No export button either; pull your data out over MCP instead, free plan included. What devices does Routinery run on? iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. No web version. Questions, bugs or ideas: hello@routinery.app Routinery is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat ADHD.

Yes, PROVE IT will force you to get out of bed, ... because you have to tap a sticker to make it SHUT UP. But it doesn't stop there. Taking your meds. (put a Sticker on your meds) Walking the dog. (put a Sticker by the leash) Finally doing the dishes. (put a Sticker by the sink) Leaving the house. (put a Sticker in your car) Throughout the day, PROVE IT alerts will NOT shut up unless you tap a PROVE IT Sticker. If you can put a Sticker by it, PROVE IT can get you there. Ooops, you annoyed yourself into adulting. WHAT IT IS: - PROVE IT fires an alert — loud, relentless, allergic to snoozing. - It doesn't stop until you physically get up, walk over, and tap your phone to a PROVE IT Sticker (which is stuck on the thing you keep avoiding). - You can set it up to be recurring or one-time. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set an alert — pick a time (one-time or recurring), name it, and pair it with a PROVE IT Sticker. 2. The alert fires. Loud. It won't stop on its own. 3. Walk to the PROVE IT Sticker and tap your phone to it. That's the only way to silence it. 4. You Proved It. EVIL ACCOUNTABILITY, BUT IT WORKS PROVE IT isn't about willpower. Willpower is unreliable — that's the whole problem. PROVE IT solves what willpower can't with something more annoying: a real, physical object you have to walk to and touch, in the real world, before the noise stops. WHAT PEOPLE PROVE - Getting out of bed - Taking meds or vitamins - Walking the dog - Cleaning the litter box - Doing the laundry - Watering the plants - Practicing an instrument - Starting work on time - Flossing (seriously) - Locking up before bed ONLY WORKS WITH PROVE IT STICKERS The app requires our tech-enabled Stickers. Grab a pack of PROVE IT STICKERS at shop.shelpful.com -- stick one anywhere you need to show up. - The app is Free to download, no subscription needed. Get there. Prove it.
