Routine Desktop 0.24 introduces major new features that are bringing Routine closer to the 1.0 milestone 😋.

🤖 AI meeting notes

You can now ask Routine to automatically record and summarize your meetings. You might think that many services already do that, and you would be right. But…

Existing standalone AI meeting recording services create yet another data silos by saving the meeting notes and action items in a dedicated tool that does not connect to your daily workflow.

Routine’s vision is to break such data silos. And because Routine already handles your meetings, notes and tasks, it is the ideal place to put more of those, just now automatically thanks to AI.

Oh and, cherries (plural) on the cake:

• Routine’s AI does not rely on a bot that joins your meetings, making it less intrusive

• You can take private notes and those will be taken into account when summarizing the meeting; and

• The action items are converted into real Routine tasks that can be planned, enriched and blocked into your calendar! 🤯

✊ Extendable default types

You thought AI meeting recording was huge, well wait for that one!

Routine now allows you to extend your tasks, events, pages, contacts and calendars (what we call default types) with additional properties.

Do you know of a calendar that allows you to extend the meaning of events to add information to them, such as a label, a priority or even linking your events to customers? Short answer: no.

This is exactly what Routine allows you to do. And the possibilities are infinite 🚀…

📂 Attachments

Attachments are here!

You can now upload PDF files, videos, images and more, making it a lot easier to enrich your documents with additional information.

The embeds have also been improved to support more platforms and file formats.

📑 Floating table of contents

A floating table of content is now displayed next to your notes.

The table is discreet at first and can be expanded and clicked when you hover your mouse over it. And it follows as you scroll through the document, making it accessible at all times.

✍️ Spellchecking

You can now configure Routine’s spellchecker to take into account the languages you write in or disable the spellchecker if you prefer.

That’s a wrap for 2025…
