I'm under 16. Can I use EasyRoutine?

No. You need to be at least 16 to use EasyRoutine. The app only works with an account, and the terms and privacy policy set 16 as the minimum age to create one.

Why there is an age limit

EasyRoutine has no guest mode. Before your first log, you sign in with Google, Apple on iPhone, or a code sent to your email, and everything you add is saved to that account on the server. Creating an account means the service processes personal data about you, starting with your email address.

The privacy policy says the app is not directed to children under 16 and that you must be at least 16 to create an account, and the terms say the same. The app does not ask for your birthday, so this is a rule you agree to when you sign in, not a check the app makes.

If you are under 16

Do not create an account. You do not need an app to build a routine anyway:

  • A paper checklist on the fridge or inside a school planner works well: one row per habit, one column per day, a tick when it is done.
  • Your phone's built-in alarms or calendar can remind you of fixed times, like practice at 17:00 or reading before bed.
  • Ask a parent or guardian to help you choose an app that is meant for your age.

Once you turn 16, you are welcome to sign up.

For parents

A parent or guardian aged 16 or over can use EasyRoutine on their own phone, in their own account, for routines they look after. That can include family tasks, such as packing school bags on Sunday evening or the weekly bin day. Keep it to things you do or check yourself, and keep personal details out of activity names and notes. Is my data safe? explains what the app stores.

Do not set up an account in your child's name or hand them a phone signed in to yours. Logs, notes and the streak are one person's, and the account is meant for someone 16 or older.

If a younger child already signed up

Delete the account from inside the app: Profile tab, Delete Account, then confirm. It removes the account, routines, logs and photos at once, and backup copies expire within 30 days. If you no longer have the phone, use the delete-account page to ask by email. You can also write to info@easyroutineapp.com and say the account belongs to a child under 16.

If the account had Premium, cancel it in the App Store or Google Play as well, because deleting the account does not stop the subscription.

Common questions

What is the minimum age for EasyRoutine?

16. The terms and the privacy policy both require users to be at least 16 to create an account.

Does the app ask for my age?

No. By signing in you agree to the terms, which set the minimum age at 16.

Can I use it without an account instead?

No. EasyRoutine has no guest mode; everything is saved to an account from the first log.

Can a parent track a child's routine in their own account?

A parent can use their own account for family tasks they look after. Keep personal details about the child out of names and notes, and do not give the child access to the account.
