Hey! 👋 I am Julien, one of the cofounder at Routine. We've been hard at work for the past year, building the next generation of productivity app for professionals. Routine is centered around time management (calendar) but does not stop there. It also combines task management, notes taking and contacts management. Just to name a few, those are the features our users love the most: 1. Global keyboard shortcut to capture your ideas & thoughts and create tasks & events 2. Planner combining events and tasks of the week 3. Drag & drop to block time for your most important tasks 4. Postpone tasks to a later week for reconsideration (week-based todo lists) 5. Integrations (e.g Notion) to bring all your tasks in a single workspace 6. Schedule meetings, join conference calls with a keyboard shortcut and take meeting notes We are still in private beta but invitations are now sent more regularly as the product is a lot more mature than a year ago. In any case, let us know what you think, we definitely need your feedback to take Routine to the next level 🙏.

@ria_raul2 Cheers :)

@jmq how does the planner feature stack up to Sunsama's? What are the key differences/similarities?
Benjamin Harrison
@jmq @matthew_foley I'm wondering the same. By inviting two colleagues, my slot should have been bumped up quite a bit on the waitlist. Unfortunately, it hasn't. Good marketing, but I'd love to see some actionable results.

Routine is a great product and has done a great job at differentiating itself from the other apps in this category. Their design is clean; the implementation of quick add and quick overview is best in class, and they have put out a well thought mobile app with just the right features. Congrats on the launch! I highly recommend folks to join the community (https://base.routine.co/community).

@prayags Thanks so much for your constant support!

I got off of another aggregated task manager app that I had paid the annual price for, to jump onto Routine. I love the thinking that has gone behind the task management methodology, which is actually based on what works to declutter the mind of busy people, as opposed to any trends or fashions. Julien and his team are onto something. Congrats on the launch, and looking forward to the updates!

@ndubuisi_kejeh1 Thanks for your support and feedback throughout. We could not make progress without it!

I've been invited to the private beta. Let me tell you: this is already a stellar product. In term of craft it's already going close to Things 3. But Routine beats Things on the actual workflows you use on a daily basis. Generally we face this challenge: should we let users do whatever they want (ex: Notion); or should we suggest a more rigid structure to help them ? (ex: Things). In my opinion, Routine found the sweet spot. I've been switching between my tasks and my calendar for so long. Currently I use Things 3, and I have tried Motion and Reclaim.ai. They are pretty good, but what make Routine even better to me : changing how we relate to our "legos". These legos are events, tasks, and notes. This is where it shines to me: every type of lego share the same structure you can add info into it. - For instance I can prepare my agenda for my next meeting within my calendar events. No need to open Notion or a note app. It's all in there. - I can link a random task to an existing note. I feel that I can play easily with every component (event, task, note) with the right flexibility. What I love so far: - Natural language to create stuff really fast (Superhuman like) - Week view planner with a mix of events, scheduled tasks AND backlog of tasks within that day Generally, it feels at last I've found a tool that works with the way my mind works. Congrats to the team, you've nailed something
