Why do people switch from Microsoft Outlook to Routine?

Microsoft Outlook Calendar is a widely used scheduling tool that helps individuals and teams organize meetings, block time, and coordinate availability across organizations. It's reliable for scheduling, but remains limited to calendar management alone.

Routine reimagines what your calendar could be. It connects your events with your tasks, notes and contacts. But it also connects to all your favorite tools, centralizing information in Routine into one single and unified workspace while providing the mechanisms to build custom workflows through custom types and views.

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.

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).

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!
