Waiting List
We know how frustrating it is to sign up to a service or application and not get to test it out right away.
Even though Routine is still in its early days, we are working very hard to provide the best experience possible. This is why we restrain ourselves from inviting everybody at once.
Another reason why we cannot invite everybody at once is that some operating system & calendar providers are not yet supported.
As an estimate, it takes on average 4 weeks to receive an invitation.
