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/

About

Habit Stacking

Big goals fail because they start too big. Cubit starts with the moment after your coffee. Habit stacking is the one technique behind every routine that actually lasts: take a moment you already own (after coffee, after lunch, when you climb into bed) and attach a chain of tiny actions to it. Cubit is built around that single idea. You never track a lonely habit again; you run a stack, one block after another, and the anchor moment does the remembering for you. WHAT YOU GET • Routines that run themselves: every stack hangs on a real anchor moment, so you stop relying on willpower and start relying on sequence. • A first stack in under a minute: pick from 24 built-in micro-habits such as one push-up, box breathing, a gratitude note or phone face-down. • Momentum you can see: check off each block and watch the progress ring close in real time, stack by stack. • Streaks that mean something: current and best streaks per stack, plus a seven-day consistency score that tells you the truth about your week. • A nudge at exactly the right moment: an optional daily reminder fires at each stack's anchor time, not at some random hour. • Your own habit library: add any micro-habit with an icon and an estimated time, search it, and drop it into as many stacks as you like. PERFECT FOR • Anyone who has downloaded a habit tracker before and quietly abandoned it by week three. • Morning people and night owls building a ritual that fits their actual day. • Readers of Atomic Habits and Tiny Habits who want the method, not another checklist. • Busy parents, students and shift workers who only have two spare minutes at a time. WHY NOT JUST USE A HABIT TRACKER? A tracker gives you a grid of empty boxes and hopes you remember. Cubit gives each habit a home: a trigger, a place in the sequence, and a ring that fills as you move through it. Three tiny actions chained to one anchor beat one big resolution every time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No sync servers. No analytics sent anywhere. Every stack, habit and check-off lives on your iPhone and nowhere else. The only permission Cubit ever asks for is notifications, and only if you switch on a reminder. FULL ACCESS Cubit is a premium app. Unlimited stacks and blocks, the full habit library, per-stack progress rings, streaks and reminders are unlocked with a Weekly or Yearly subscription. Pricing is shown in the app in your local currency before you confirm. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled at any time in your Apple ID settings. Build your first stack tonight: anchor it to "after dinner", add three blocks, and check them off before you sleep.
