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.

Faffalot - One Task at a Time For when you know what you need to do, but you just can’t get started. Faffalot is a gentle routine and task helper for anyone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or frozen when faced with too many choices. Instead of showing you everything at once, it gives you one clear next step, so you can start without having to work out what to do first. It’s a productivity app for people who don’t get on with traditional productivity apps. It’s built for brains that get stuck, overwhelmed, and shut down when things feel too big or too much. Perfect for people who live with executive function challenges, task paralysis, ADHD, or simply feel overloaded by traditional task apps. No complicated menus. No endless lists. No sorting. No categories. No pressure. Just one tiny task at a time. Morning Routine and Bedtime Routine Create simple routines with up to ten steps each. They appear at the right time, one step at a time, so you can ease into your day or wind down without overwhelm. Includes one gentle iOS alert in the morning and one at night. Other Tasks (for when your head is spinning) If your mind is full and you don’t know where to start, dump everything into Other Tasks. Faffalot will choose the order for you, so you don’t get stuck picking the “right” thing. You can add up to ten tasks here, all shown one at a time on the focus screen. Recurring Tasks Keep up to three simple repeating tasks on track. Daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. No complicated scheduling. No fiddly settings. Just gentle consistency. The Focus Screen This is the heart of the app. It shows one task only, with no list behind it unless you choose to look. The task will jiggle gently when it thinks you've forgotten it. Perfect for people who: * pick the easy things first * avoid the hard things * get overwhelmed by choices * spend more time organising tasks than doing them * struggle with executive function * freeze when routines fall apart * experience task paralysis or ADHD-style overwhelm The app decides the order. You just do the next tiny step. Gentle Motivation Tools Help Me helps you break a task into the first tiny steps and then shows you just the very first step. Annoy Me gives you a nudge when you’re stuck. Dopamine Fireworks and an XP counter give you a small celebration when you finish. Faffalytics shows your overall progress over the last few days if you wish to look. Calm, Friendly Design Choose between a soft pink/purple theme or dark mode. No harsh colours. No productivity jargon. No corporate vibes. Just a simple, kind interface that helps you move forward. Made for People Who Get Overwhelmed Faffalot is perfect for anyone who has ever said: * I can’t work from a list * I don’t know where to start * I get stuck choosing * Task apps make me feel worse * My head is spinning and I need someone to tell me what’s next If traditional productivity tools feel too complicated, too busy, or too demanding, Faffalot gives you a softer way to get things done. One step. One moment. One task at a time.
