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. β—† 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. β—† Key Features 1. Flexible Group (Tab) Management Break free from the standard Monday-to-Sunday framework. Create and organize custom groupsβ€”such as "Weekdays," "Weekends," or "Remote Work Days"β€”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!
