Routines is the native Mac app that handles your schedule, your inbox and your meetings. Sign in and the AI is already included, with €5 of credit to start; bring your own Claude or ChatGPT plan or API key whenever you prefer. Everything it writes lands in a second brain of markdown files you keep.

Mission Control: every routine, its schedule, and this morning’s output.
Routines AI included
Every new account starts with €5 of Routines AI credit, granted once, so there is no key to paste and nothing to set up. Those requests pass through our servers on the way to the AI provider, and we keep the token count, never the text. Top up with a one-time pack when you need more, or bring your own key and the requests go straight from your Mac.
Settings: run on Routines AI, or point Routines at a key of your own.
A day on Routines
Your calendar, the email that landed overnight, and what actually needs you today.
The call, transcribed as it happens, with the decisions and the follow-ups written down before anyone leaves.
Everything that arrived this morning, sorted into reply now, reply later, and ignore.
A half-formed idea, talked through with the chat, until it comes out as something you can act on.
Every note, meeting, and output you have kept, searched in one place, so the thing you said in March comes back in seconds.
What got done, what slipped, and the three things waiting for you tomorrow.
Who builds it
These quotes are about the product work our team shipped for other companies over the past decade, not about Routines itself. We would rather show you real ones than write new ones.
Since the inception of our company, BinarCode has been an integral part of our journey. They consistently deliver top-notch, user-friendly designs, fully understanding and aligning with our business objectives...
Alex Cojocaru
CEO, Licenseware
Launching the Vue.js products, which regularly receive 5-star reviews, has boosted general sales by 20%. BinarCode always delivers immaculate code and thorough documentation.
Alex Paduraru
CEO, CreativeTim
The automation project was completed quickly and effectively, with the team producing an excellent dashboard. The overall performance of BinarCode was impressive.
Khaled Kteily
Founder & CEO, Legacy
You have done an excellent job of creating Project.co and I am looking forward to working together for the long term. Not only do you do very good work but you also make very good suggestions.
Matt Byrom
CEO, Project.co
BinarCode provides timely, high-quality code and development work. Their team is not only extremely efficient and productive but also easy to work with and highly communicative.
Jon Garrity
CEO, Tagup
Their knowledge of frontend development sets them apart from other firms. I specialize in backend, and their experience with frontend systems has been enormously helpful for me.

CTO, Jobmatix
Security posture
Your recordings, notes and clipboard never reach our servers, so there is nothing on our side to breach. To be exact: we are not a HIPAA business associate, and we are not SOC 2 certified yet. This row changes the day that does.
Privacy proof
Meeting audio goes to Deepgram (Whisper as fallback) to be transcribed. Prompts, including note text used as context by chat, go to an AI provider to be answered.
On Routines AI, prompts pass through our servers to Anthropic and we keep the token count, never the text. On your own key, they go straight from your Mac to your provider and we bill nothing.
Notes, clipboard, and memory stay readable markdown files, with or without a connection.
What it replaces
Each app in your stack does one thing behind its own login and its own bill. Routines does all of them from the menu bar, on your Mac, on one key you already own.

Ownership by design
One app can replace four because Routines runs on your machine and charges for the app, not for a seat in someone else’s cloud. The AI is included and metered at usage, or you point it at your own key and we bill nothing for it.
Notes, clipboard history, and memory are plain markdown in a folder you pick. Cancel us and the second brain still opens.
Use the AI included with your account, metered at usage, or a Claude or ChatGPT plan or your own API key. On your own key the credentials stay on your Mac and we add nothing to your AI bill.
