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.

Focus: Summit Together turns your focused time into a journey up real mountains — alone or with a friend. Pick something to work on, choose a duration, and start climbing. Every minute you stay focused moves you further up the trail. Finish enough sessions and you reach the summit — of Fuji, Kilimanjaro, Denali, and dozens more. FOCUS IS NEVER METERED Unlimited sessions from 5 minutes to 3 hours, forever, for free. No daily caps, no ads, no account required. This is a timer first; the mountains are there to make showing up feel like progress. FOCUS ON ANYTHING Study for the exam, get through a workout, practise an instrument, read a book, write, code, or sit and meditate. Pick the activity and the app speaks its language: every chapter is a camp, every session is altitude, every focused hour is a step up the mountain. Focus and Summit together. YOUR TREK, YOUR PACE • Seventeen treks across six continents, free — from a gentle first ridge to a serious expedition • Camps mark real landmarks on each route, so a 25-minute session always gets you somewhere • A calm session screen: an ambient sky, a soft soundscape, and nothing to tap SUMMIT TOGETHER Bring a friend. Share a short code or link and climb side by side in real time. See when your friend is on the mountain, finish together, and gather at Camp to see who showed up this week. Focusing with one friend is always free. YOUR JOURNEY • Streaks, summits and badges at a glance on the Journey tab • Insights: which activities you actually finish, and when you focus best • A weekly recap on Sunday or Monday — your hours, your altitude, your friends — ready to share • Streak freezes so one busy day does not undo your month SOUNDS OF THE TRAIL Nine named trail sounds. Breathe, Still and Ember are free; Drift, Flow, Rush, Cascade, Kindle and Monsoon come with Summit Pro. Your chosen sound plays while you browse and during focus, including with the screen locked. Volume uses the device buttons — there is no in-app slider. WORKS OFFLINE Focusing never needs a connection. Sync, friends and subscriptions pick up when you are back online.
