Who this is between
Routine Run is made by Denys Korolkov (“we”). These terms cover the app on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, the App Clip, and this website. How we treat your data is on Privacy, and it is part of these terms.
The licence, and Apple’s
You get the app from the App Store, so Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement applies: you may use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for yourself, and you may not copy it, take it apart or resell it. Where these terms and Apple’s cover the same point, Apple’s wins. Apple is not a party to anything else here, and we, not Apple, answer for the app and for these terms.
Free and Pro
The app is free to use with up to three routines, every feature included. Pro lifts that limit. What stays free, and what happens to your routines if Pro ends, is on If Pro lapses: nothing is deleted and nothing stops running.
- Monthly and yearly Pro are subscriptions. Today in the US they are $6.99 a month and $49.99 a year; the price you see in the App Store, in your currency and with local tax, is the one that counts.
- Renewal. A subscription renews at the end of each period until you cancel, and Apple charges your Apple Account. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends in Settings, your name, Subscriptions, Routine Run. Pro stays until the end of the period you paid for.
- The launch offer. For a limited time the first year of yearly Pro costs less, and Lifetime is on sale. The pricing page says when it ends. A yearly subscription that starts on the offer renews at the regular yearly price.
- Lifetime is one payment, not a subscription. It covers Pro for as long as the app exists, including what Pro gains after you buy it.
- Refunds and billing problems go through Apple, at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot see or change your payments.
What you make is yours
Your routines, runs, notes and values are yours. We do not see them: they live on your device and, if you turn it on, in your own iCloud. That also means we cannot recover them. Keep your device backed up. Things you delete wait 30 days in Recently Deleted and are then gone for good.
If you publish a routine under a code, you are putting its steps in iCloud’s public database where anyone with the code can read them. Publish only what you have the right to share and would put on a sign. You give us permission to show it to whoever opens the code. Do not publish anything hateful, harassing, sexual or violent, or anything that is somebody else’s to share. Anyone who opens a code can report it to us, and we take down a published routine that breaks these rules, is unlawful or harms somebody. We will also take one down on request if you send us its code.
Assistants can be wrong
The app can draft a routine from a sentence, using the model on your phone, Apple’s cloud, or an assistant you pick. Models make mistakes: they reorder steps, invent lengths and drop things. In the app you read the draft before it is kept. When you ask through Siri or Shortcuts, the change is saved at once and the earlier version is kept, so you can undo it. Check what an assistant wrote before you rely on it. An assistant you choose belongs to its maker, and its terms and privacy policy apply to what you send it.
Steps that do things
A step can run a shortcut, send a request to a web address, set a Home scene, write to Health, ring an alarm or add an event. You set those up, and you are responsible for what they do and for what is at the other end. Where a step asks first, it waits for you.
What it is not for
Routine Run is not a medical product and does not treat or help any condition. It is not a safety system.
Notifications, alarms and background work depend on your phone: its battery, its Focus and silent settings, the network and what iOS allows an app to do. They can be late or fail. Do not make it the only way you learn about something you cannot miss, such as a medicine, a safety check or a page for a system people depend on. Keep your paging service’s own alerts on.
The method, and the rest of the site
The method pages are licensed under CC BY 4.0: share and adapt them, naming Routine Run. The app, its design, its name and the rest of the site are ours, and the licence above does not extend to them.
No warranty, and a limit
The app and site are provided as they are, with no promise that they will always work or suit what you need. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost data, a missed reminder or any indirect loss, and our liability for anything else is limited to what you paid us for the app in the twelve months before the claim, which is nothing for the free app. This does not take away rights the law gives you as a consumer and does not limit anything the law does not allow to be limited.
Changes and ending
We may change these terms. The date at the top changes with them, and a change that matters is said in the app and on Changes first. If you do not agree, stop using the app and delete it; a subscription ends only when you cancel it with Apple. We may stop offering the app or a feature, and we will say so ahead of time where we can.
