Metrum vs My Morning Routine

Metrum combines study cycles, syllabus tracking, focus sessions, and analytics for students across its web app and iPhone app. Study cycles rotate through subjects with individual weights, while the service tracks progress and what comes next. Users can load an exam syllabus and mark topics as theory, revision, or mastered. Sessions can be timed or logged by hand and saved to history; the iPhone timer offers Pomodoro and free-timer modes with rain, café, or forest audio. Analytics compare study hours with a daily goal and show time by subject. Study groups let users share a syllabus with friends and see who is studying. Sessions, cycles, and stats sync between web and iPhone under one account. The free plan includes one study cycle and one owned group of up to five members. Pro costs $4.99 a month or US$39.99 per year and adds unlimited cycles and groups, broader analytics periods, and export. The iPhone beta is free during beta but requires iOS 26 and Apple's TestFlight app.

My Morning Routine is a routine planner and habit tracker for building, timing, and tracking routines on Android and iOS. A routine can combine focus timers, checklists, passive timers, and count-up activities. Focus timers offer a +2 minute option, while Smart Timing learns a user’s pace and can update a routine template. Progress tools include schedule-aware streaks, statistics, and a rolling 14-day Momentum Score. Rest Days and Mental Health Days can be scheduled without breaking a streak. Voice Prompts speak the next steps aloud; completion chimes and Silent Mode with haptic taps offer other cues. Optional Photo Checkpoints can mark completed tasks. Routines can be shared by web link for friends to preview and add, and the Explore tab offers downloadable routines such as Morning Kickstarts, Survival Mode resets, and ADHD self-care. The app is described as designed for ADHD and neurodivergent users and people seeking a less perfection-focused planner. The free plan allows up to four complete routines. Annual Premium is $7.99 a year; Lifetime Premium is $24.99, paid once.
