Describe in one sentence a duty that keeps coming back. That becomes a routine that you review and test before it runs. Afterward, you see when it last ran.
After you log in, Routines opens in your personal workspace.
RoutinesExample
Start of month · Paperwork
Description
On the first of the month, one task: file bank statements and note the meter reading
Test
Walked through, task looks right
Last run
October 1, no errors
Approved
Simplified sample view with made-up data.
Why change anything
You remember the meter reading when the bill is already there.
The same tasks every month, and every time you have to make the first move.
You only remember the club dues or the insurance when a letter arrives.
A note on the refrigerator only helps as long as you still notice it.
Until now
Keep a duty in your head
Hope it comes to mind in time
Notice too late and catch up
With Routines
Describe a duty once as a routine
Review, test, and approve routine

How it works
To your result in 3 steps.
01
Describe a routine
Write down in one sentence what should happen regularly, for example kick off the paperwork on the first of the month.
02
Review and test
Look at what became of your sentence, and run the routine through once.
03
Approve
The routine only runs once you approve it. Afterward, you see when it ran and what it did.
What gets better
Three things Routines does for you.
The nudge no longer comes from your head
Recurring duties start without you having to think about the date.
You describe the routine once and approve execution.
No surprises
You know exactly beforehand what your routine does.
Every routine is reviewed and tested before it runs for the first time.
Check instead of brooding
When you wonder whether something has already happened, you simply check.
A view shows what your routines did most recently and whether they all run without errors.
In everyday life
Here's how others see it.
Alone in your own household
Trigger
Bank statements and receipts pile up until the tax return is due.
With Routines
You create a routine that triggers the filing on the first of the month.
Result
The paperwork becomes a small piece each month instead of one big piece once a year.
Club treasurer
Trigger
Once a quarter, membership dues need to be checked, and you always remember late.
With Routines
You describe the check as a routine and test it once.
Result
The check comes up at the start of the quarter without you having to think about it.
Family
Trigger
Before every school year, the same errands and registrations come up.
With Routines
You record the steps once as a routine.
Result
Next year you won't start again with an empty list.
Before you start.
What's the difference from a habit?
A habit you do yourself, fresh every day. A routine you describe once, and it starts by itself afterward.
Do I have to code anything for this?
No. You describe in one sentence what should happen regularly, and check what came of it.
Does a routine start running before I've reviewed it?
No. You test it first, and it only runs once you approve execution.
How do I see whether a routine has run?
A view shows what your routines did most recently. Another shows whether they all run without errors.
Does anyone else see my routines?
Routines opens in your personal workspace, separate from a company's workspace.
What happens when I click “Describe first routine”?
You’ll go to the Peak One login. The “Routines” selection and the destination page are passed along in the link. After you log in, you open this app directly. One account works for all Peak One apps.
What does Routines cost?
Features and usage limits depend on your plan. You'll find the overview on the Pricing page. Clicking “Describe first routine” does not start a paid subscription.
Hand off the next recurring duty.
Describe it in one sentence, test the routine, and approve it.
