Routinia walks you through the repeating parts of your day, step by step, and gives you tools to automate them. Here is what you can do with Routinia: • In your morning routine, set up an action to open your morning music playlist • Thanks to voice control, you can simply listen for each step instruction and say "Done" to hear the next one, letting you quickly complete many steps in a row. For example, "open windows" - done!, "turn down the heater" - done!, "take medication" - done! • Schedule your regular routines at a specific time and day of week, and we'll visualize it on the timeline, giving you the incentive to complete the full day • Use it for non-regular routines too, like "Packing for a trip" routine. It could make sure you remember to take a hat and sunscreen with you • Use it for any process that benefits from structure and repetition Add steps to your routines, then follow them one by one. Each step can have a timer, letting you see when you need to speed up or how much time you have left. KEY FEATURES • Automation Routine actions can open a web link or a deep link into another app for you. For example, you can attach your favorite workout video or meditation app to a step in your routine. Or you can use actions to run web/HTTP requests directly from your routine (Pro)! • Voice control No need to break the flow by looking at the screen. Hear the instruction for current step, say one of "done", "skip", "switch", and move on to the next step. Quick and efficient! • Routine variations There should only be one morning routine, not "Morning routine at home", "Morning routine on holiday". Routinia allows you to group variations of the same routine together, so they don't clutter the app. One routine, many variations. • Scheduling For a regular routine, choose the days of the week and time at which it should run. You can set up notifications to remind you to complete the routine at the target time. See routines visualized a timeline so you can easily see what you still need to do today. • Insights Evaluate your progress over time with two key metrics: how closely you follow the schedule you set, and how many steps you complete rather than skip in each run. Both give you a percentage value that you can use to understand the overall performance of your routine system. • Optional data syncing Either use the app locally on your device, or optionally create an account to sync your routines across all your devices and keep your routines backed up. TIPS FOR CREATING POWERFUL ROUTINES • Routinia lets you create an unlimited number of routines, but don't rush to create them all too quickly! Start with something you already do regularly and rarely skip, like a morning or bedtime routine. • Start by adding a few small and specific steps, it doesn’t need to be perfect. The important thing is to begin. Over time you will understand what more needs to be added. • Your routine will change and evolve over time. Regularly review whether your routines in the app are consistent with real life. Make adjustments if not. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

We help you reach what you set out to do. A workout streak, passing an exam, a promotion, your dream — write it down and Lumi helps you stay on track. IntentNote is not a place to let notes pile up. It helps you shape passing thoughts, unfinished tasks, and long-postponed goals into one step you can take today. If you have ever saved a note and then wondered what should happen next, IntentNote helps you find the thread again. Log Today's Workout in One Line When you start, pick the goal you care about most. Choose Exercise and your Workout Log is ready to go. · Exercise, sets and load in one line — set your usual workout once under Tracking Items and every new entry starts with it · Add your own fields, like time or distance · Save it, celebrate, and share today's workout right away (#workoutdone) · Add your photo in the app you share to · Lumi checks in at the time you set — you pick the tone and how often · Start right away, no sign-in needed Start With Questions A blank page should not be the thing that stops you. IntentNote gives each kind of thought a form to grow in. - General Notes: capture ideas before they disappear. - Deadline Tasks: keep dates, progress, and next actions in view. - Life Goals: turn a large direction into concrete steps. - Inspiration: gather the lines, ideas, and references you want to return to. Life Goals are designed around guided questions, so a vague ambition can become something you understand, refine, and begin. Organize With AI Lumi When you need help, Lumi helps you make sense of the note in front of you. - Summarize long notes into the essentials. - Suggest titles and keywords from your writing. - Break large goals into actionable steps. - Point out gaps and possible next actions. - Help you continue when a note has stalled. Lumi does not decide for you. It reads what you have written and helps make the shape clearer, while the final choice stays with you. From Notes To Action Good thoughts disappear easily. Big goals are easy to postpone. IntentNote turns notes from storage into a place where thinking settles, work starts moving, and goals keep their thread. Checkpoints and progress help you see where you are, what has changed, and what to do next. Pick Up Anywhere Start without an account — sign up later when you want your notes synced. Write on your phone and continue on another device. Keep writing offline; when you reconnect, your notes sync automatically. A Daily Line Of Inspiration Sometimes one short line can change the direction of a day. IntentNote brings you a daily moment of inspiration, with a home screen widget for today's line. Start a note that does more than collect your thoughts. Let it show the next step. IntentNote. Small notes. Real next steps.
