A routine is a note to your future self.
Recura is a habit system for people who think in systems. You design the routines on a good day — chained, ordered, scheduled — and on the hard days you just follow the note. One step at a time, no decisions.
Tap the mark to replay.
What it's for
Most task apps are built for the inbox: a flat list you clear and refill. Real domestic and team life isn't a list — it's a set of rhythms. Bins on Tuesdays. The deep clean every quarter. The nightly wrap-up that's heavier on Fridays. Recura models the rhythm directly, so nothing piles up as fake-overdue and nothing needs re-entering.
The ideas it's built on
Recura stands on behavioural science and psychology, and remixes a few ideas that already work: small habits that stack, checklists you can trust, and getting things out of your head and into a system you don't have to hold in memory. None of these are ours — we just made them one thing that fits a real life.
Chains, not checklists
“After I fill the dishwasher, I run it. After it runs, I unload it.” Habit stacking is the core data model, not a trick — finish a step and the next one unlocks.
Honest, never judgmental
Skips are recorded as observations, not failures. The system states facts — what happened, measured from real timer runs — and never nags, shames, or cheerleads.
Design rich, execute boring
Planning has the full toolkit — recurrence engines, seasonal windows, dependency graphs. Execution is one step on a timer with zero decisions. Different states of you, different interfaces.
Where it's at
Recura is early and currently invite-only — sign-ups join a waitlist, and we let people in as we go. It runs on the web and on Android, with shared spaces for households, roommates, and teams.
