My Routine Scheduler

Routine Scheduler: Your personal, date-free 24-hour daily planner. Are you tired of managing your plans on a traditional calendar? This app focuses entirely on routines. Rather than tying events to specific dates, it allows you to schedule your "ideal day" to help you build better habits. ◆ Recommended for: - Shift workers whose schedules change regularly. - People who want to switch between different routines depending on the day (e.g., "Weekdays," "Weekends," "Night Shifts"). - Those who want to visually track and build habits around studying, side hustles, or workouts. - Anyone who wants to organize their daily flow like a school timetable. ◆ Key Features 1. Flexible Group (Tab) Management Break free from the standard Monday-to-Sunday framework. Create and organize custom groups—such as "Weekdays," "Weekends," or "Remote Work Days"—in whatever way best fits your lifestyle. 2. Instant Toggle: Pie Chart & Vertical Timeline View your schedule in two modes: a beautiful "donut chart" to visually grasp your 24 hours at a glance, or a "vertical timeline" to intuitively follow the flow of time. Switch between them instantly using the button in the top right corner. 3. Seamless Group Management Easily reorder, rename, or bulk-delete your groups. Enjoy a simple, polished UI that runs smoothly no matter how you manage your data. Move away from a calendar that chases dates, to a planner that designs your time. Find the perfect daily rhythm for you with Routine Scheduler!
