Things 3 is a polished and focused todo app. But it stops there. Routine takes the same design-oriented approach and combines tasks with notes, calendars, projects and more, on all platforms.

Why do people switch from Things to Routine?

Things 3 is a best-in-class task manager for macOS and iOS. Unfortunately, it lacks an API, support for other platforms and more functionalities to make it a true productivity companion.

Routine combines tasks, notes, projects, contacts, calendars and more (through custom types) into a beautiful all-in-one productivity app. Even more, Routine integrates with all your favorite tools. You can finally bring all your data from Gmail, Slack, Github and more into a unified workspace to manage your life and work.

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!
