Start a routine automatically when a mode turns on or off

Mode turned on or off starts a routine when one of your modes switches. It lets you hang extra jobs on a mode, like posting a status or starting a timer, without packing them into the mode. Modes need KeyRoutines Pro.

KeyRoutines Pro is a one-time $29.99 upgrade for up to 2 PCs.

How it works

  • Pick a mode, or leave it empty to react to any mode.
  • Choose when: as it turns on (the default), as it turns off, or either way.
  • The routine learns which mode changed and whether it's now on.
  • A mode never starts itself through this trigger, so it can't switch straight back.
