Overview

Routine is a Paris-based productivity app, founded in 2020 by Quentin Hocquet and Julien Quintard and graduated from Y Combinator's W21 batch, that combines calendar, task management, and note-taking into a single AI-assisted workspace rather than requiring users to juggle separate apps.

The product syncs with external calendars such as Google Calendar and organizes work around an Inbox, Agenda, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes structure, with AI features layered on top for meeting notes, automations, and voice commands.

Key Features

Core features include a quick-capture Inbox, a daily Agenda view, two-way calendar sync, a structured task list separating unplanned, recurring, and upcoming items, and a dedicated notes workspace, all synced across macOS, Windows, web, and iOS.

Paid tiers add AI meeting notes, AI agents and automations, time tracking, time blocking and boxing, unlimited integrations and custom databases, and, for teams, workspace-level access control and consolidated billing.

Pricing

Routine offers a free-forever individual plan, then paid individual tiers at $5/month (Personal) and $10/month (Professional), each unlocking more integrations, AI credits, and automation features, all cancelable at any time.

Team pricing starts at $15 per seat per month for the Business plan, with a custom-quoted Enterprise plan for larger organizations needing compliance, audit logging, and dedicated account management.
