About Rutin: Start on Time
"When do I actually need to start getting ready?" That's the question Rutin answers. Tell it when you need to be ready, add what you need to do, and Rutin works backward to the minute, so you always know the exact moment to begin. It works for anything you get ready for: Getting ready for a night out, a date, or an event, hair, makeup, and outfit included Leaving for work or school on time Making a train, flight, or bus you can't afford to miss Getting the whole family out the door Being on time for the gym, an appointment, or a dinner reservation Even a wind-down routine that gets you to bed when you meant to Keep a separate routine for each occasion, and reach for the right one whenever you need it. Here's how it works. Build a routine once and pick your "ready by" time. Add your steps and roughly how long each one takes, with icons and colors so a single glance tells you where you are. Rutin counts backward from your deadline and shows you when to start. Press go and it runs alongside you: the step you're on, a live countdown, and whether you're still on pace to make it. Falling behind? It happens. Rutin gently suggests where to make up the time, like trimming a step or skipping something optional. It stays honest about what's realistic and never pretends you can do the impossible. A few more things people love: Focus mode clears everything away and shows just the step in front of you. Live Activities keep your countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Widgets and friendly reminders nudge you the moment it's time to begin. Over time, Rutin notices when a step always runs long or short and offers to adjust it for you. No tracking. No Login. Everything stays on your device. Rutin is free with one routine and up to five tasks. Rutin Unlimited adds unlimited routines and tasks, repeating routines, and stats. It starts with a free week, then renews weekly until you cancel in your Apple Account settings. Bought Rutin Pro before? You keep everything, no subscription needed. Whatever you're getting ready for, Rutin tells you when to start, so you make it on time without the scramble.
