Comparison
Routine covers the classic trio: tasks, meetings, notes, with an assistant on top. Postal collapses that into Post-its: dump, find, remind — plus background research and agents that write files.
| Need | Routine | Postal |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks + notes + meetings | The pitch | Same trio, plus a spatial desk and Morning Postal |
| Capture | Into Routine’s objects | Dump without choosing the object type first |
| Find | Assistant over Routine’s database | Find by meaning; keep-pass saves things you didn’t label as notes |
| Remind | Meetings and tasks | Explicit reminders that pin; not only calendar events |
| Agents / CLI | In-app assistant | In-app Grok + `postal` CLI for coding agents |
Routine is a clean all-in-one. Postal is messier on purpose: it assumes you won’t classify the thought until after it’s safe.
