Why do people switch from Trello to Routine?

Trello is a visual task & project management tool using boards, lists, and cards for organization. It offers an intuitive interface for managing tasks and projects through a kanban-style approach. Routine goes further by allowing individuals and teams to define their own data model to cover all their workflows through a single unified workspace that integrated with hundreds of third-party services. In addition to Kanban views, Routine offers a variety of visualizations to fit every use case.

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!

Been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I love it! Congrats team!

I've played around with many other early-stage products like Amie or Kairn, but Routine's user experience is blowing them out of the water.

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 become essential for my task management and is helping me to keep my tasks under control.

So happy I found this app and proud to be an early adopter!

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.

Routine has become my go-to tool for organizing my day—it's like having a personal assistant right at my fingertips, streamlining how I manage my calendars, tasks, meetings, and notes all in one place.

Routine connects with Notion so they work perfectly together. I use it as my to do list app.
