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’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.
