Routines
Help your kids take charge of their own routines with simple picture cards they tick off themselves. One shared schedule keeps the whole family on the same page, from breakfast to bedtime.
Show, don’t tell
No endless reminders. Picture cards show your child what to do next, and they tick off each step themselves.
Everyone on the same page
Parents and grandparents see the same schedule. A change shows up everywhere straight away.
From school email to schedule
Paste a message from school and let Routines suggest the dates and tasks that matter.
The week at a glance
School, sports and special days in one place. Everyone knows what’s coming.
How it works
-
Set up your routines
Add your children and the steps of your morning and evening: getting dressed, brushing teeth, packing the school bag.
-
Show them the screen
Hold up your phone or iPad. Each child sees the next picture card, taps their own icon to tick it off, and sees how far they are.
-
Everyone stays in sync
Ticks and plans show up on every phone in the house within a second. No more asking “did you brush your teeth?”
A look inside
Made for families. Respectful of privacy.
Routines is set up and run by parents. It only keeps what the app needs to work, and never sells your family’s data.
- No ads, analytics or tracking software in the app
- No accounts for children: they just tap their own icon
- No surnames or photos of your children needed
- Parents decide who joins the household, and can remove anyone
When you paste a message, its text and your children’s first names and ages are sent to Anthropic’s AI to make suggestions. That only happens when you use this feature, and Anthropic does not train on it. Read the privacy policy
Questions parents ask
Who is Routines for?
Families with young children who are learning to follow their own morning and bedtime routines, and the parents, grandparents and caregivers who help them.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later, and Apple Watch. Every phone, iPad and watch in the household shows the same routines and ticks.
Do my children need their own phone or account?
No. You show them your phone or iPad and they tap their own icon to tick off a step. Children don’t have accounts and never sign in; parents sign in with Apple or Google.
Can a grandparent or babysitter join?
Yes. Invite anyone with a code that works once and expires after a week. Whoever started the household can remove members at any time.
How do I set it up?
Add your children, let each pick an icon and a colour, and fill in the steps of your morning and evening. You can change everything later in the app.
Can I try it now?
Almost. The beta starts soon. Sign up and we’ll email you as soon as it’s ready, with an invite to try Routines through TestFlight, Apple’s app for testing new apps. You get the full app, and your feedback is much appreciated. You’ll also hear when it’s in the App Store.
Calmer mornings. Happier evenings.
