What Routinely is

Routinely is a habit and routine app from Renewal Software, LLC, a small indie developer based in Temple, Texas. It helps users turn activities they want to do into routines, grouping habits and arranging them in a chosen order. For each routine, users can select weekdays and a due time, then receive a reminder to begin. Habits can be marked complete or skipped, and an action can be undone. Progress views include completion rates, streaks, comparisons across periods, calendar heatmaps, and habit breakdowns. Apple Watch support includes complications for checking today's habits and following progress. Premium members can also check off habits using interactive medium and large Home Screen widgets. Routine, habit, and completion data is stored on the device and can sync through iCloud; syncing between devices requires iCloud. A separate Routinely account is not required. The app supports iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Mac, Apple Vision, and Apple Watch, subject to minimum operating system versions: iOS or iPadOS 18.2, macOS 15.2, visionOS 2.2, or watchOS 11.5. The free plan permits two routines with up to five habits in each. Premium plans add unlimited routines and habits and interactive widgets.

Who it suits

Routinely suits people who want to organize recurring habits into ordered routines and review their progress over time. It is aimed at users in the Apple ecosystem, including people who want Apple Watch support or iCloud syncing.

Limits

The free plan allows up to two routines and up to five habits per routine. Premium plans provide unlimited routines and habits and interactive Home Screen widgets; their prices vary by country or region.

Getting started

1. Visit https://routinelyapp.com/.

Verdict
