Subroutine
The productivity app for monotropic brains
An executive function prosthetic that adapts to your mental state and surfaces the right actions exactly when you need them — not a wall of tasks to fight through.
How are you feeling right now?
Subroutine starts by asking how you're doing. Whether you're hyperfocused, overstimulated, or frozen by indecision — it adapts the queue to your current capacity, not your ideal one. No more pretending you can do everything on the list.
Your day, automatically organized
The pipeline schedules your actions intelligently. Floating actions drift toward the present — no manual sorting required. Static actions stay exactly where you pinned them. Miss something? It requeues automatically so nothing disappears into the void.
Just type it
Type actions and events in plain language. Write
dentist Thursday @2pm ~1h every month
and Subroutine parses the date, time, duration, and
recurrence on the fly — highlighting each component
inline as you go. No forms, no dropdowns, no friction.
Build your rituals
Define multi-step named routines — morning warmup, weekly review, project kickoff. Trigger them on demand and each step lands in your pipeline at the right time with the right duration. Recurring routines can even schedule themselves.
Fully automatable
Everything is accessible via a clean RESTful HTTP API. Script your workflows, build integrations, or hook Subroutine into your own tools.
