> On iOS (at least for most people)

Are you assuming a phone here or including the 12" iPad Pro with a keyboard?

Hi criddell, I'm the iOS dev for Routine. As of now, the iOS application is restricted for iPhone only. Regarding the iPad with keyboard it is definitely something we need to think about, as the usage is closer to a desktop than a phone. As of now, if we authorized the iPhone version to be used on iPad it would lack the main desktop feature : the console.

If you did decide to support an iPad with keyboard, I wonder what the experience on the Mac would be compared to the Electron app?

You can probably tell Electron isn't my favorite way to make Mac apps.

Surely if we were to have the console on iPad (and all the features that are not developped on iOS as of now), we probably could release a native MacOS app along. But realistically it will not be in the near future, as the iOS app is lagging a fair amount behind the electron app. As of now, we're focusing on iOS on the simplest and most used functionalities as well as features that works well with touch UI.
