Is there a Routinery alternative without step timers?

Yes. ADHD+ has no step timers. Each routine is a checklist, so a step stays open until you tick it, and you can tick steps in any order. An alarm starts the routine, and from there the pace is yours.

Yes, for 3 routines of up to 3 steps each, with alarms, the timeline and the last 7 days of progress. There are no ads and no time limit. Pro adds unlimited routines and steps and longer progress history, at $5.99 a month, $34.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

Does ADHD+ read steps aloud?

No. ADHD+ has no voice prompts or step timers. You see the whole routine as a checklist, so you can look at what's left and tick things off as they get done.

Does ADHD+ work without an internet connection?

Yes. Alarms, routines, the timeline and your progress all work offline, because everything is stored on your phone. ADHD+ doesn't sync between devices, so a routine stays on the phone you made it on.

An alarm starts the routine

ADHD+ is built around one moment: the time a routine should begin. Each routine gets its own alarm, and for each one you choose a real alarm that rings through silent mode or a gentler notification. You start the routine from the alarm, and its checklist opens.

Routinery's listing describes a different start: you set the weekdays and the time, and a reminder arrives. ADHD+ makes the start its main job, because knowing what to do next is easier once the first step is on your screen.

A checklist you tick, at your pace

Routinery's approach is timing. Its listing describes 1 to 5 minute steps, each on its own timer, with a voice calling out what comes next.

ADHD+ has no step timers and no voice prompts. A routine is a checklist. You see every step at once, tick them in whatever order the morning allows, and a step stays open for as long as it takes. If a shower runs long, nothing moves on without you.

Where your routines live

Routinery's own description says routine data is stored on its servers and usage analytics go through third-party tools.

ADHD+ keeps your routines and progress on your phone, with no account and no analytics. The only network use is purchases through Apple or Google and, on iPhone, a daily App Store version check. ADHD+ doesn't sync between devices, so a routine stays on the phone you made it on, and nothing about your day sits on anyone's server.

A free version you can stay on

The free version of ADHD+ covers 3 routines of up to 3 steps each, with alarms, the timeline and the last 7 days of progress. There are no ads and no time limit. Routinery's listing gives its free plan 2 routines, and says it shows ads.

Pro lifts the limits for $5.99 a month or $34.99 a year. It's also sold as a one-time Lifetime purchase, for anyone who'd rather not hold another subscription. Routinery's App Store purchases list no lifetime plan.

Routinery prices above are the in-app purchase prices on its US App Store listing, checked October 30, 2026. Any of these can change.

ADHD+ is an organization tool, not a medical treatment. For questions about diagnosis or medication, talk to a clinician.

The bottom line

If the hard part of your day is getting a routine started, ADHD+ puts the start in an alarm. Each routine gets its own, and when it rings you start the routine from the alarm and its checklist opens.
