Pick Anchor if…

Anchor suits iPhone users who want to plan tasks in time blocks, and Mac users who want the expanded Super Anchor features. It is not available for iPad, Android, or Windows, and requires iOS 26 or later or macOS 26 or later.

Pick Routine if…

Routine suits people who want tasks, calendars, focus sessions, and meeting records in one planning app across desktop and mobile platforms. Teams may find the Business plan’s administration tools relevant, while the Free plan has limited integrations, databases, and AI credits.
