Philosophy
A routine isn't a habit you're trying to install through willpower. It's a piece of your personal system — a cadence you've decided matters. Your job is to design the cadence. The system's job is to tell you, honestly, whether it's running.
The difference
Most trackers measure whether you did it today. routine.systems measures whether your cadence is running. It's a different question, and it asks for a different product.
Streaks still exist. They're one signal among several — not the product's identity, and never the reason to feel bad.
What you see
Every routine shows a single signal: how overdue it is, relative to its own cadence. One colour language, applied everywhere.
How it works
Create a routine, pick a cadence: every 3 days, weekly, 3× per week. Categorise it. That's the whole setup.
Urgency rises as routines approach and pass their next due date. Red means do this now. No badges, no notifications.
Complete, defer, or snooze — whatever's honest. Streaks track on-time completions with a grace period because life isn't perfect.
One truth, many views
Enable the views that match how you think. Start minimal, add depth when you're ready.
The execution view. Routines grouped by frequency, sorted by urgency.
"What needs doing right now?"
A bird’s-eye matrix of categories against recurrence patterns.
"What have I committed to, and how often?"
Time periods against upcoming dates. Drag routines to reschedule.
"What’s coming up, and when should I handle it?"
Estimated minutes by time period. Spot over-commitment at a glance.
"Am I over-loading any part of my day?"
Streaks and completion rates across every routine you’ve built.
"Where am I most consistent?"
Differentiation
Good products are defined as much by what they refuse to be. Here's what routine.systems is not.
There are no one-off routines here. Every item repeats. If it doesn’t recur, it doesn’t belong.
No time-of-day scheduling. You commit to frequencies (“3×/week”), not slots (“Tuesday 7pm”).
Habit trackers measure consecutive days and reset you when you slip. routine.systems measures rate over time. A missed day is information, not failure.
