Why do people switch from Apple Notes to Routine?

Apple Notes is a fast, minimalist note-taking app built into every Apple device. It’s great for jotting down quick ideas and checklists. Unfortunately, Apple Notes is limited to Apple devices and locks your data in.

Routine goes beyond notes and unifies all the aspects of your life (notes, tasks, calendars, contacts, projects, objectives and more) into a single productivity app that is minimalist, beautiful and easy to use. Besides, Routine is available on all platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and Web.

Routine combines tasks, calendar management, and documentation in a UI that enables optimal week-to-week planning. My favorite feature is the dashboard, where I can quickly capture things that otherwise would fall through the cracks.

I’ve tried about every app on the market over the past ten years, and for the first time, I have stuck to one after using Routine for the past two months. And I love the integration with Google Calendar and Google Tasks.
