Brili Routines – Habit Tracker 4+

Apple Watch

I love this app! As an adult with adhd it has been incredibly helpful with automating my mornings so that I don’t have to think about what needs to be done next and I don’t get distracted trying to remember what I should be doing. The reminders throughout tasks are great (since I usually get off task midway through the activity) and overall it has made my mornings a lot easier and more productive. I do really wish that there was an Apple Watch feature. It would be great if I could put my phone out of sight but still have the visual reminder of my routine on my watch. Another feature that I think could be a great addition is the ability to add tasks without adding them to a routine permanently. For example if you had a one time change in your schedule, you could add it into your existing routine just for that day but not change any of the other days. Or maybe just a section where you can add activities you would like to do but have no specific date or routine that you could add it to.

Solid 3 1/2 lots of potential

This app is loaded with good potential. It’s a great idea and truly does work to get my scatty brain to do the things. I like the premade routines and that you can modify them to fit what you need.

Now the things that I truly hope they improve. It’s a $50/ year app but it feels a little bit like they’re still beta testing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve finished the last thing on the routine list and marked it done but then closed the app and went on with my day and didn’t wait around for the final screen to come around. The next time I open the app it’s still there, saying I didn’t finish it. When I re-finish it, it puts on the calendar that I finished my go to bed routine at 6:30 am the following day. Also, you’re supposed to be able to rearrange your tasks in your routine while you’re in the routine but this has never worked for me despite multiple tries. Finally, if you take longer to finish your routine than normal, when you finish it, your end time is right on the calendar but your start time is not.

Honestly, it seems like a ton of money for what it does. Like way too much. But it’s the only app I know of that does what it does so I guess you have to pay what they ask. Maybe I should have done more research.

Shows promise but needs improvement

While this app shows promise, it really needs streamlining in the area of managing routines, especially reordering routines, adjusting times, and easily seeing and fixing time conflicts. Right now I've entered a number of routines, but as I've added in transition times etc that I didn't initially account for, I'm left with time conflicts that are very clunky to resolve. In order to see my daily calendar and identify time conflicts, I have to go to "start routine." To exit that view I have to navigate the Qs of whether I really want to "quit the routine." And then I have to toggle back to "manage routines" to adjust times manually to resolve the conflict. The app shouldn't allow routines to overlap and should automatically adjust times to avoid conflicts. Or, it should easily allow user to view schedule and adjust times where conflicts exist. Also the automatic ordering in "manage routines" based on when you created the routine is the least useful option for how this list could be ordered. Ordering by schedule (like time of day or day of week) would be much better. I still haven't figured out how to reorder this list, in spite of searching support posts. I hope they roll out improvements to this app soon to make it more user friendly to adjust schedules.
