Routinely: Flow helps you turn your life into simple, repeatable checklists. If you have ADHD (or just a busy brain), you know how easy it is to forget small things — water, headphones, stretching, documents, or one tiny step that ruins your whole plan. Routinely fixes that. Create routines like: • Going for a run • Gym session • Morning routine • Travel packing • Work setup • Study sessions Then just tap through a checklist before you start. No thinking. No stress. No forgotten steps. Now with AI routine builder: Just describe your goal in plain English, like: “I want to train for a marathon” “I want a simple morning routine” “I want a productivity routine for work” Routinely will generate: • A full routine • A checklist of tasks • Optional sub-routines • A suggested schedule Features: • Build routines as checklists • Start sessions and track progress • AI-powered routine generator • Works great for ADHD, anxiety, and busy minds • Clean, fast, distraction-free design • History and stats to build consistency Think of it like a pre-flight checklist for life. Not Notes. Not Reminders. A system for actually getting things done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Routinely at none against eDots's 1. Routinely also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
