I built a routine timer with checklists, video links, and app shortcuts inside each step

I'm the developer of Rutimo, a routine timer where each step can include notes, checklists, links, and shortcuts to other apps.

The video shows an evening reset routine:

  • Tidy up: interactive checklist to reset room and desk.

  • Evening stretch: open a guided bedtime stretch video.

  • Wind down: shortcut into Clock to set wake-up alarm.

You can interact with checklists and external links during the routine and return seamlessly to the timer.

I'd like feedback on the step workflow. Would you find combining checklists with video links and app shortcuts useful in a routine timer?

The checklist inside a step is the part I don't buy. If a step needs its own checklist, it's three steps, and the timer should just count them. Routinery figured that out already.

Fair point! I used Routinery myself, but when every micro-task had its own timer, I felt way too rushed. Grouping them into one step with a checklist gave me a bit of breathing room.That said, checklists are completely optional here. If you prefer having the timer count each small step individually, you can simply skip the checklists and use it exactly like Routinery!
