Keep the gym, reading, changing the sheets, calling family, and occasional life admin together. LOG TIMES OR MINUTES Track how often you do something or how much time you spend. Three workouts a week and 180 minutes of reading can live in the same list. SEE WHAT NEEDS YOU TODAY Find the routines that need attention now. Everything else stays in Later until it matters.

REMEMBER LAST TIME Add a useful note to a check-in, then see it again when the routine needs your attention. Keep the detail you would otherwise forget. QUIET REMINDERS Choose reminders for occasional routines or a daily summary of what needs attention. YOUR ROUTINES, YOUR DATA No Orbit account is required. Routines are stored on your device and can sync through your iCloud. Anonymous usage analytics help improve the app without collecting routine names or the notes you write.
