Routine vs Cron

More than a calendar, Routine is a full-fledge assistant

Cron is a clean calendar but stops there. Routine goes beyond calendaring by combining calendars, tasks, notes, contacts and more through a all-in-one work app.

Why do people switch from Cron to Routine?

Cron is a calendar app known for its fast interface and clean design. It simplifies managing events across multiple calendars and is ideal for users who want a beautifully optimized way to handle meetings.

But Cron focuses on scheduling and does not provide anything more. Routine on the other hand offers a completely new and innovative way to work by combining calendars, tasks, meetings, notes, contacts (and anything else you can think about, through custom types) into a unified productivity app. Through its integrations, Routine allows individuals and teams to synchronize and centralize the data from their favorite tools into a single workspace.

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.
