How EasyRoutine compares to what you use now
Most people already track their routines somehow: a calendar, a printed sheet, a spreadsheet, the phone's reminders or a separate app for each thing. These pages compare EasyRoutine with each of them, including what the other tool does better.
What EasyRoutine is built for
EasyRoutine answers one question: "did I already do it?" You group things you repeat into routines, add each one as an activity, and log it in a few taps (or with a photo scan) when it is done. The calendar then shows what you actually did by day, week or month. How it works.
Logging, notes, the photo scan, the calendar and sync are free, with a banner ad. Schedules and reminders are part of Premium. The app needs an account and an internet connection; there is no offline mode.
How to pick the right comparison
Start with the tool you use today:
- A calendar app: good for appointments and sharing, but an event looks the same whether you did it or not.
- Paper or a spreadsheet: free and flexible, and paper works offline, but it only works where the sheet or file is.
- A separate app for each routine: specialist extras like sets or doses, but several places to check.
- A reminders app: free and simple, but a reminder does not record that you did it.
- An offline-only tracker: works anywhere without an account, but history can be lost with the phone.
- Paid trackers: see what EasyRoutine's free plan covers before you pay.
If you need numbers, charts, sharing or offline use, the other tool may well be the better choice, and each page says so.
- EasyRoutine vs a calendar app: why not just use your calendar?Why not just use your calendar app? A calendar shows what you planned. EasyRoutine records what you actually did and shows it on a calendar.
- Habit tracker app vs paper tracker: is it worth switching?A printed habit chart or a habit tracker app? An honest look at what paper does better, what a phone log adds, and who should switch to EasyRoutine.
- Tracking habits in a spreadsheet vs an appTracking supplements or workouts in a spreadsheet? What a spreadsheet still does better, and when quick logging, sync and reminders save you the upkeep.
- One app to track supplements, skincare and workoutsTired of a supplement app, a skincare app and a workout app? See how one app keeps each routine separate, and what dedicated apps still do better.
- A reminder app for recurring routines vs a routine trackerA repeating reminder tells you when, not whether you did it. How EasyRoutine ties each reminder to a logged activity, and when a reminders app is enough.
- A habit tracker app that syncs across phones, compared with offline-only appsLost your habit history with a new phone? How EasyRoutine keeps routines in your account and syncs them, and when an offline-only tracker is the better fit.

Common questions
How is this different from just using my calendar app?
A calendar shows what you planned. EasyRoutine records what you actually did, in a few taps, and shows done and planned side by side.
Why not just use a paper habit tracker or a spreadsheet?
You can, and they are free and flexible. EasyRoutine helps when you are often away from the sheet, want logging to take a few taps on your phone, and want reminders and synced history.
Why use one app instead of a separate app for each routine?
One calendar, one account and one way to log, with each routine kept separate. Keep a dedicated app where you need amounts, sets or charts.
Does it work offline or do I need the internet?
You need the internet. EasyRoutine has no offline mode, though reminders that are already scheduled still fire.
Is the free plan good enough compared with other paid tracker apps?
For logging and reviewing, yes: there are no limits on routines, activities or logs. Premium adds schedules, reminders and removes ads.
