Head of Engineering @ MeridianI’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.
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!
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.
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. 🚀
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.
