I don't want to stay signed in on a shared phone
Sign out when you are done. Closing EasyRoutine does not sign you out, so on a family or borrowed phone, tap Sign Out on the Profile tab and sign in again with your own Apple, Google or email code next time.
What a shared phone can show
A routine log is more personal than it looks. Activity names such as Morning tablet or Physio, the notes you add, the red, amber or green flags, and the times you log all say something about your day. Anyone who opens a signed-in app on the same phone sees what you see.
EasyRoutine has no app lock or PIN of its own, and closing the app does not sign you out. That is convenient on your own phone and a problem on a shared one. Reminders are the other thing to think about: their text names your activity, for example Activity "Vitamins" is coming up, and it can appear on the lock screen.
Sign out after each use
- Open the Profile tab.
- Tap Sign Out and confirm.
The app goes back to the sign-in screen, and the next person who opens it sees nothing of yours. Signing out also removes every EasyRoutine reminder that phone had scheduled for your account, and clears ones still sitting in its notification list. Your routines, logs and photos are not touched: they stay in your account on the server.
Next time, sign in again with the same method: Continue with Google, Sign in with Apple on an iPhone, or Continue with Email and the 6-digit code. Any method that uses the same email address opens the same account, so you can sign in with an email code on the shared phone even if you normally use Google on your own.
Habits that keep it private
- Do not use Delete Account to leave a shared phone. It deletes your routines, logs and photos everywhere, immediately. Sign Out is the right button.
- Use the email code if the phone's Google or Apple account belongs to someone else. Signing in with their Google account opens their EasyRoutine, not yours.
- Watch the Google picker. If it offers someone else's account first, pick yours or use the email code.
- Mind the inbox. The code arrives by email. If you opened your mail on the shared phone to read it, sign out of the mail app too.
- Name activities neutrally if others might see them anyway. "Evening tablet" says enough to you.
There is one limit to keep in mind: reminders only reach a phone where you are signed in. If you sign out after every use, the shared phone will not remind you, and you need to stay signed in on a phone of your own for that. Reminders are part of Premium.
Two people on one phone
EasyRoutine has no profiles or user switching, and only one account can be signed in at a time. Two people who each want their own record use their own accounts and take turns, signing in and out; each then sees only their own routines.
Two people who want one joint record, such as a couple tracking the same household tasks, can sign in to the same account instead. The app is built around one person, so the history and the Day streak are then joint, and every phone signed in to the account rings for every reminder.
Want the same routine as someone in the family, such as a shared plant-watering list? Share it by link: they get a copy of the routine's activities in their own account, and your logs and notes are never shared. How to share a routine.
Common questions
Does signing out delete my data?
No. Signing out only ends the session on that phone and removes its reminders. Everything you logged stays in your account and appears again when you sign in.
Can I lock EasyRoutine with a PIN or Face ID?
No. EasyRoutine has no app lock of its own. On a shared phone, sign out after use instead.
Will I keep my streak if I sign out every day?
Yes. The Day streak is counted from the logs in your account, not from being signed in.
Can two people use one account on a shared phone?
Yes, if you want one joint record. The app is built around one person, so logs, notes and the Day streak are shared between you, and every phone signed in to the account rings for every reminder. If each of you wants your own record, use separate accounts and share routines by link for the same activities.
