Underrated productivity apps IMO 👀 — @NotionHQ — @Todoist — @RoutineHQ
I'm actually kind of blown away by @routinehq. It's refreshing to finally see some innovation in the daily planner app category. There's a ton of potential here. Task management is time management.
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.
Love Routine - and not only for its good looks!
Great app! It gives a lot of structure to my work and helps me manage my time much better!
Been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I love it! Congrats team!
I've played around with many other early-stage products like Amie or Kairn, but Routine's user experience is blowing them out of the water.
I don't know how I lived before Routine App, I have tried so many productivity apps, note apps, tasks, and calendars. These guys created a very simple super app that has removed 90% of my stress and time waste.
Routine is so refreshingly thoughtful, not to mention keyboard-centric. I really do hope they keep the momentum and bring their vision to life (cross-platform).
Routine has become essential for my task management and is helping me to keep my tasks under control.
So happy I found this app and proud to be an early adopter!
Routine has helped me clearly map out my day. It reduces the noise of multiple calendars and long-term task lists into a one-day agenda view of what I can accomplish today. Routine provides me with a focused runway for the day.
Routine has become my go-to tool for organizing my day—it's like having a personal assistant right at my fingertips, streamlining how I manage my calendars, tasks, meetings, and notes all in one place.
Routine connects with Notion so they work perfectly together. I use it as my to do list app.
For those wondering how to get things done but have not checked out the calendar app Routine. You can type your tasks and drag them onto your calendar. Need I say more? Oh yes, and they have not begun charging yet!
Routine is my favorite calendar, with a mobile app, and it has almost all main features for free along with an amazing UI.
I don't know how I lived before Routine App, I have tried so many productivity apps, note apps, tasks, and calendars. These guys created a very simple super app that has removed 90% of my stress and time waste.
I tested a variety of apps and ultimately chose Routine. My reasons are straightforward: firstly, it seamlessly integrates with Google Calendar. Secondly, I appreciate its minimalist design, and finally, it encompasses all the features I require.
@routinehq is perfectly on the right road!
Very impressive so far. And I've used them all. Each time I start to find something it needs, it's in the next release.
Routine is my calendar and project management BFF (This was the only tool I found that would allow me to manage all my calendars in one place, for the lowest cost).
This became my primary productivity tool to manage and control my day.
Routine helps me move tasks from an inbox to a slot in my calendar so that I don't miss a thing. Their onboarding takes you through the basics so that you can get familiar with the flow on the very first day.
I’m definitely finding Routine helpful, the merging of notes and to-do tasks is especially 🔥.
I'm finding @routinehq is weirdly very calming.
Routine has really embedded itself within my daily usage. It’s so helpful to have everything in one place, my agenda, to do list and notes. The ability to add meeting notes straight into a meeting and combine that with the to dos, it’s brilliant to have something so central to my life.
Routine is a great tool for productivity that brings together all aspects of work management. Something I haven't seen before.
Nice clean design!
Simply the best productivity app!
I was never able to organize myself, now it's done.
Excellent vision of productivity.
Good product that saves me a lot of time. 💪
I really love the daily planning feature of Routine. It is a reminder to think about my day and plan it out rather than let it happen to me. As a product person, I see that the UX is clean and well thought out. I appreciate the attention to the little details that make this great.
I used to hop between multiple apps to track my todos and calendar invites for the day which reduces my productive time by quite a fair amount. With Routine I could have it all in one place without getting out of the flow.
Just got access to @routinehq, and I'm already in love ❤️. It's a very nice combination of Notion, Google Calendar, Things, etc. The UI is also quite minimal.
I have been looking for a way to organize my daily and weekly tasks for a long time, and Routine has everything I wanted and more. The ability to connect Notion was life changing, but the feature to create a task from any screen or program made it even better.
Routine provides a simple workflow to handle objects across multiple projects and areas that includes usable calendar functionality. A must if you are an academic, creator, or both.
As someone obsessed workflows, I've tried every todo/planner in existence. Routine is the best one out there. Combining tasks with calendars is great, and allowing me to plan work for a day or a week is a brilliant feature. I'm looking forward to what the team comes up with next!
Notion was too much. Outlook + Word was too little. Routine seems just right for me.
Routine is great for organisation! I use it every day and I can't imagine my life without it. My favourite feature is the keyboard shortcut which lets you add tasks without having to switch apps. I use Routine to plan the week ahead using the calendar and I jot down my brainstorms using Notes.
CTRL + Space and you have that Idea, task or event instantly in your system! Later you organise all of it into your week.
I was previously using a bunch of productivity tools concurrently. Now with Routine, I have everything centralised on one platform - allowing me to focus on the job at hand and not having to worry about missing something.
Routine, the digital successor to my trusted Franklin Covey planner, has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of my work, becoming the compass that guides my productivity. It empowers me to prioritize with clarity and fosters unwavering focus on the essence of what truly matters in my life.
I’ve tried so many time-blocking, task list, and calendaring apps, but they have all ended up forcing me into a structure that doesn’t work for me or wasting my time and energy! Routine captures everything I need it to and lets my mind work the way it naturally does.
Routine's intuitive and user-friendly design has been incredibly helpful. Along with their integration with Google and Notion, the ease of effortlessly creating tasks and effectively tracking them sets Routine apart in this crowded space.
The Routine app is a gem in the productivity space. It is clean, sophisticated, & easy to manage, especially for those with ADHD like me! Thank you Routine.
Routine has the awesome usability which is great for implementing the inbox zero methodology.
Routine is my loyal memory bank. It also helps me capture tasks and schedule them for opportune times.
It allows me to be focused on important tasks without losing track of anything.
Routine is a breeze to use, giving me information at a glance without having to leave my focused work environment and letting me jot down tasks easily.
Routine's automatic inboxing of uncompleted tasks allow me to stay focused knowing I can address the old ones at any time. The universal desktop shortcut is also great to list new tasks or events on-the-fly.
Routine is the app that finally integrates my calendar and contacts so I always know where I am and with whom I am meeting - and adds both agendas and minutes of all the meetings - seamlessly. So no more jumping between apps. Brilliant for entrepreneurs.
To me, the most prominent feature is the Planner. It gives me freedom and flexibility in terms of how I want to organize my week to get the most out of the time that I have.
I love the idea of Routine and strongly believe in working from Calendar System; this is where Routine shines. Integrating the to-do list, calendar, and notes is the way to go. Hence why, Routine is the core element of my workflow.
Routine makes it easy to collect my thoughts, tasks, notes, and schedules, organize them, and time block so I can be my most productive self. It gives me peace of mind! Thank you Routine!
My work routine has been transformed since I started using Routine. Every Sunday, I head to Routine to plan my tasks for the week, and then each morning, I check in to see what needs to be completed. With its intuitive interface and seamless integration, Routine has made it easy to capture tasks and stay on top of my workload.
As a team lead, I need to get tasks out of my head immediately and be confident that I won't forget anything. Routine serves this purpose and is so easy to use and feature-rich that it feels natural.
Routine helps me maintain a routine. A quick to-do list is rapidly transformed and integrated into my Google Calendar. This means my time is allocated for important tasks before it fills up with nonessentials.
Routine is hands down the best calendar software out there for entrepreneurs and busy individuals. From managing your day-to-day tasks to planning the week ahead, the user experience and ease of use are unlike any other calendar app!
Routine integrates seamlessly with my existing calendar, making it easy to schedule meetings, set reminders, and collaborate with others. One of my favorite features is the agenda view, which lets me see everything I have planned for the day in one place.
Routine has become absolutely central to my daily 'routine.' I can check on my daily agenda, tasks, journaling, and pages where I end my day with creative expression.
The team behind Routine has used magic to get into my head, grab all my daily planning frustrations and build a product that solves them all. Routine has saved me tons of time organizing my tasks and planning my day.
Planning my daily routines is now quicker and easier with Routine 🎊.
I like how the scheduling works - different from other apps that keep piling up your incomplete tasks. Routine puts them back out in the queue so you can re-schedule them. A lot of excellent features here!
Routine has alleviated one of the most significant issues I've been facing for the past year when planning my week: finding a tool that integrates my tasks and events all in one place.
It is as if Routine is my personal assistant, enabling me to stay on top of what I did and did not complete, making it easy to allocate additional time. In addition, the integration is seamless, and the quick capture is the best thing in the world.
With the ability to gather all my thoughts and tasks in one easy-to-access place and quickly schedule important events, I feel a sense of liberation and can now concentrate on what's truly important. It's a truly remarkable product that I am grateful for every day.
Routine became a fundamental tool to organize my schedule and tasks since I can easily capture my ideas/tasks in the inbox and see my daily schedule in the calendar, which is well integrated with Google Calendar.
Routine is the central place between my agenda (the to-dos I set myself) and the board we are working on as a team. It allows me to schedule all the tasks, whatever their nature, I have to achieve during the day at work and in my personal life.
Game changer for managing tasks. I love the focused approach in the "Today" tab and the overview of future tasks in the "upcoming" tab. I also love the integration capability with Notion, which I use extensively.
Finally, a tool that brings tasks and calendar's into one easy-to-use and intuitive place.
It has simplified my daily task management because I can now have a single view of the tasks and my meetings.
Routine helps me to stay focused on the things that matter right now.
Routine has become a one-stop personal life management tool for me. Notes, tasks, events, plans, habits - everything depends on Routine.
What attracted me to Routine was its hybrid solution that combined tasks (to-dos) and scheduled events into an attractive user interface, eliminating the need to have and run multiple apps to get things done.
The application is very intuitive, and the integration of notes and calendars is a huge plus.
Routine is the app of choice for productivity, and it plays a vital role in managing my hectic schedule as an HR.
Routine helps me focus, so I take effective actions throughout the day. Since I have been using Routine, my sales have 4X'ed.
I use Routine to manage multiple calendars, tasks, and daily blocks and organize meeting notes and 1:1s with my team. Simply amazing!
Routine is my first stop when I start working, and it gives me a perfect overview of my day and what lies ahead for the week.
Routine is my go-to place to manage my workload and planning, and it's where I find clarity on what to do next.
Routine helps me organize my day and keep track of everything important. It works much better than other to-do apps. As a digital marketer, I have a lot of spinning plates, and Routine keeps me focused.
Routine already outpaces most productivity apps through its multiple functions and simple design. Every update nudges it closer to making the one true killer app for my desktop, laptop, and phone.
Routine has become my go-to tool for tracking personal tasks and note-taking in meetings, filling a huge need for me daily.
Routine elegantly combines calendaring and tasks, associating everything with media-rich pages in a way that takes the best from apps such as Notion and Craft. It is hands down one of the most beautiful and thoughtfully designed apps I've ever used.
I think Routine's app is awesome! It combines calendars, reminders, and notes, precisely the apps I was using already. Now I have it all in one app.
As a person with ADHD, I deeply appreciate Routine as it makes planning and doing so much more enjoyable and effective. I have no doubt Routine will be one of the apps of reference for individuals and teams in the productivity area.
Routine has been instrumental in helping me manage my meeting effectively. I love being able to capture notes easily from meetings to help create tasks from them. The clean and minimalistic design of the agenda for the day in the app helps me properly plan my day without feeling overwhelmed.
Routine has allowed me to centralize our tasks, follow-ups, and action items from Notion and Slack into one centralized place where we can allocate dedicated time to complete them. I love that you can use the control+space shortcut to write down anything on your mind.
Routine has somehow mastered the dark art of perfectly combining multiple calendars with demanding to-do lists, meeting notes and general task organisation. Even at its most basic it works intuitively and in a way that makes sense to my always-distracted-by-a-shiny-thing-over-there brain.
You surely have seen apps specialized in tasks, or notes or calendar optimization. You probably have also seen apps that address two of these areas at the same time. But Routine is the only one right now that is built from scratch to connect all three.
Routine puts my work in one place mostly and allows quick access.
I love Routine so much. The way you've designed the Today, Planner and Upcoming features take the complexity out of planning and prioritising work, whilst allowing you to maintain visibility and context of decisions you've made through the Pages and tagging functionality.
I'm only a few hours in to Routine and it's 100% clear to me: someone has finally cracked the code on productivity and tasks, and that someone is Routine.
Just started using @routinehq. I am blown away. This is an amazing app. The quick capture is a great idea, and the NLP is top-notch. Also, the iOS app is really fast. Keep up the great work, guys!
Since using Routine, I feel more productive and organized. The application is great for taking notes and organizing tasks. I can finally find the balance between college work and my personal projects.
Routine helps me get through the day seamlessly and make sure I've got all the knowledge from my meetings in one place. It definitely helps me keep my focus level high!
Routine significantly reduced the drag of coordinating what needs to get done between my inbox, calendar, and own thoughts. The ability to flow between tasks that pop up in my inbox and schedule time for assignments or projects, all while utilizing the calendar I’ve built, is great. The functionality for adding more descriptions and taking notes on tasks through pages is great as well.
Routine is my daily and main App for organizing my tasks and events. It is great when working online and also great to take notes about all things.
Routine helps me stay on track by ensuring I can quickly create tasks and plan my days, allowing me to focus on my team and clients.
Routine has been a huge win for my productivity. I love how quick and easy it is to capture new tasks—less stuff missed, more stuff done!
Routine is THE all-in-one app that combines all my calendars, tasks, and notes in a single system.
Routine has become central to managing my day, and I couldn't live without it. It enables me to focus clearly on what's important and what is not. Most important, the design is beautiful, and I have found it to be the easiest and most efficient productivity app I've used.
I've tried many planning/to-do apps, but none nailed how a small note goes from just that through to an action item, a project, or anything in between. Routine has taken a new approach to a problem that many have tried to solve. Without Routine, we wouldn't be maximizing our time the way we are now!
Create a task or a reminder in the middle of a meeting simply by pressing two keys on your keyboard, and you will discover the power of Routine. User since (almost) day one, I guarantee you will never miss anything again.
Routine has replaced four apps so far and will likely replace more as I further centralize my information and help immensely with associating notes or resources with a task or event.
Routine is the only task list / daily planner / note-taker out there you'll ever need. Being able to capture tasks from everywhere using a keyboard shortcut, organizing these tasks in pages, and actually getting things done is a game changer.
I was already using Notion for some time and started using Routine to increase my productivity. Routine helps me keep track of everything that I need to do and helps me focus on what is important at the moment for both my personal project and my work.
Routine has been a game-changing app that allows me to bring all my creative ideas, plans, and goals together so that I flow more efficiently and finally have control over my time!
@routinehq + @NotionHQ > any other app
For a while, I found it hard to find an app that made my task management an easy process. Luckily enough, I found Routine. This app simplifies the process of creating tasks and scheduling them into your calendar. The console feature is outstanding. As a student and entrepreneur, I strongly recommend it!
Routine has helped me plan my days and weeks, manage my tasks, write meeting notes, and jot down anything I have in mind. After years of searching and using multiple apps. Finally, I found a productivity app that is simple, beautiful, and checks all my boxes. I can't wait for new features to come!
Every once in a while, an app reads your mind and helps you organize your tasks, days, and weeks in a way that used to need several features of several apps. I love how I can arrange meetings, due dates, or thoughts so that nothing slips through the cracks. Routine is the app that truly helps me implement GTD in my daily productivity system.
I was pleasantly surprised with this app, where I can import and connect all my other productivity apps in one place. Something very welcome when working in more than one environment. Congratulations to the boys of @routinehq. Keep up the good work!
Routine is a great product and has done a great job at differentiating itself from the other apps in this category. Their design is clean; the implementation of quick add and quick overview is best in class, and they have put out a well thought mobile app with just the right features.
The unique combination of tasks & calendar events set this app apart. It allows for planning a working day that is realistic and goal-focused. The team knows how to execute and is very responsive to feedback requests. Keep it up!
Routine is already a stellar product. In terms of craft, it's already going close to Things 3. But Routine beats Things on the actual workflows you use daily.
Routine is a great app that has changed how I organize my days with a much better focus. I feel like I control my schedule. I could see the latest big improvements in the product. Congratulations to the team, and keep it up!
Routine is a game changer for your daily routine: a perfect mix between calendar and task management to get things done. In one year, I have met many guys starting to use it and stick to it to get more productive in their daily routines. This is a hell of a productivity tool. For me, it's like when (Sunrise meets Wunderlist).
I joined a few weeks ago and loved how easy, and super fast it is to schedule tasks and events with natural language. Routine also allows me to manage my weekly tasks easily.
I've tried dozens of task management tools, and Routine just makes sense for me and the way I work. I've been using it for around six months, and support is very responsive when I have questions.
A great and promising tool that I added to my daily routine. Easy to create tasks and to postpone or snooze them. Really happy so far!
I've been looking for an alternative to Sunrise for years. Awesome job! Keep it up.
It is an excellent management tool since it allows us to be focused on our objectives and tasks. I celebrate the creation of Routine!
A very useful tool for busy people. Lots of things to do, meetings with partners and so on? This tool will not let you miss important points!
I love how Routine combines tasks with the calendar in one easy view that lets me know how much time exactly I have between and to the next event. It's super easy to enter new tasks and events with just one fast shortcut and have all my information both on desktop and mobile.
The best of the best! Saving time and my personal life thanks you for it!
I have been using Routine every day for a month now. Very easy to use for meeting notes and putting aside tasks to be done. Well done to the Routine team.
Impressive execution! Finally, a calendar I can use as a task list!
As an early adopter, I can say that I've been dazzled by Routine's execution. They ship the features we ask for at light speed! As a result, the app is getting more and more ingrained in my daily routine. Kudos 🙌
An amazing tool to keep track of notes & tasks in the same place and organize my day. Thanks to the team !👍
Great job so far. 👏 The latest features added and the brand-new design allow me to focus on what matters most: productivity.
I can't wait to see the new features to come. I have the same feeling I got when I discovered Notion a few years ago: I see the product's deep potential and the team's velocity. 🚀
As CEO of a growing startup, Routine is my lifesaver tool to manage my time better. The team is reactive on Discord to respond to questions and improve the product based on my user feedback. Thank you again for what you are doing, guys 👏
I've been looking for the perfect productivity mix for so long (calendar + tasks + notes), and as a diligent user for a while now, I'm happy to declare: here it is :) Well done.
