Routine Launcher chains your apps and websites into one tap. Instead of manually opening five apps in the same order every morning, build a routine once — say, Mail, Calendar, then your team chat — and launch all of them with a single tap, each with a short countdown in between so you're never caught off guard mid-switch. FEATURES • One-tap routines — launch a whole sequence of apps or websites in order • Skip the wait — tap Launch Now to jump straight to the next step, or Stop to cancel • Daily scheduling — give a routine a time window and it'll offer to auto-launch whenever you open the app during that window • Add apps or websites — search a built-in catalog of hundreds of apps, add any website by URL, or add a custom app yourself if you know its scheme • No login, no account — everything lives on your device Whether it's your morning startup routine, a focus-mode sequence, or a set of apps you always open together, Routine Launcher gets you there in one tap instead of five.
