Zen Routine is a simple reminder app for plans that repeat on specific days of the week. β€œEvery Monday at 9:00” β€œTuesdays and Thursdays at 18:00” β€œSaturday at 10:00” Set the day and time once, then receive recurring reminders each week. Zen Routine is also useful for college and university class schedules. If Monday has first and third period and Tuesday has second period, you can register those weekly schedules once instead of entering the same plans again every week.
