🟢 Routinely — Support

Tap the "Parent settings" button on the home screen, enter your PIN (default: 1234), then tap "Add Routine." You can add steps with emojis, custom photos, voice recordings, and timers.

When you set scheduled times for your routines in Parent Mode, Routinely will automatically suggest the right routine when you open the app. For example, if "Morning Routine" is set for 7:00 AM and you open the app at 6:50 AM, it will suggest starting the morning routine right away. This is a Pro feature.

In Parent Mode, go to Settings and enable "Calendar Sync" under Smart Suggestions. Routinely will create a dedicated calendar and add events for each scheduled routine. You'll need to grant Calendar access when prompted.

In Parent Mode, go to Settings and enable "Reminders Sync." Routinely will create reminder lists for each routine with individual step items. Grant Reminders access when prompted.

Routinely sends gentle local notifications when it's time for a scheduled routine. You can snooze (5 minutes) or skip directly from the notification. Enable notifications in Parent Mode settings. All notifications are processed on-device — no data is sent to any server.
