RoutineCast: Minimal Routine Timer

Unlimited simple step-by-step routines for playlist-style workflow lovers

Problem

Users love Routinery's playlist-style routines and estimated session time, but the free tier caps them at 2 routines and the app keeps adding complexity. They just want simple step-by-step task timing for repetitive work sessions (like end-of-day wrap-up), without social features, gamification, or heavy stats.

Solution

A minimalist routine timer web/mobile app: create unlimited routines with multiple tasks and auto-calculated total duration; play back tasks sequentially with pause/skip; show a simple completion summary with no extra data.

Users

Individuals frustrated by Routinery's free limits who want a simple tool for repetitive work sessions, such as freelancers, office workers, and ADHD users.

MVP

Create unlimited routines (name, task list, estimated minutes per task); one-tap sequential timer that auto-advances; real-time total duration; completion summary only; local storage with optional account sync.

Revenue

Free tier limited to 3 routines; subscription for unlimited routines and cross-device sync; one-time purchase ad-free version.

Why now

Competitors like Routinery are adding social and gamified features, diluting the simple core experience, and users are actively seeking alternatives; indie developers can ship fast with lightweight web stacks.
