Questions
Yes. Copy it as a checklist or print it, with no sign-up. Adding it to Palby Planner, with the reminders, needs an account.
Link WhatsApp or Telegram and a message arrives at the routine's time, or at 10am if it has none, but only if it isn't done yet. Tap Done, snooze it, or mute that routine.
Yes. Every routine is yours once it's added: rename it, move its day or time, or delete it. Untick the ones you don't want before you add the pack.
Type it in one line, like "stretch daily at 9pm", and it becomes a routine with that day and time.
