Built by Jostein Dyrseth

I'm an indie iOS developer from Norway. I build RoutineGuide because I believe daily habits shouldn't be a solo grind — they're better with friends holding you accountable.

RoutineGuide is a one-person project. I design, code, and ship everything myself. If you have feedback or ideas, I'd genuinely love to hear from you.

I tried every habit tracker out there. They all had the same problem: they treated habits as a private checklist. Check the box, see a streak, repeat. But for me, the streaks weren't enough motivation on their own.

What actually worked was telling a friend "I'm doing this every morning" and knowing they could see whether I followed through. That simple layer of social accountability changed everything.

So I built RoutineGuide — a routine tracker where you can connect with friends, share progress, and hold each other accountable. Not a social network, not a feed of strangers. Just you and the people who matter.

RoutineGuide is built entirely with Apple's own technologies: SwiftUI, CloudKit, WidgetKit, HealthKit, and WatchKit.

Your data syncs through iCloud — not through my servers. I don't collect analytics, I don't track you, and I don't show ads. The app is free because I built it for people like me, not for investors.
