Why do people switch from Shortcut to Routine?

Shortcut is a project management platform designed for fast-moving software teams. With features like story tracking, sprint planning, and Git-based integrations, it’s ideal for managing engineering projects and keeping development aligned with product goals. Unfortunately, Shortcut is very much focused on make dev teams ship software.

Routine expands upon it by not only allowing dev teams to iterate over their custom workflow thanks to custom types and views, but it also connects and synchronizes data from third-party services like Github, Gitlab but also all the other tools you use in your product development cycle, from communication, support, success etc.

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 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 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.

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!

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.
