Apple is clearly moving to having iOS apps work on the Mac. Do you think the iOS Routine app would work on the Mac?

I think it will take quite some time to reunite both world. But maybe indeed, eventually, we'll have only the iOS app that will run on both iPhones and macs.
Note thought that there will always be a big difference in experience. On desktop, we want the experience to be center-ed around the keyboard shortcut, the console and natural language.
On iOS (at least for most people), it's faster to use a well-crafter UI/UX than typing natural language. Though again, in the future, we might go in the direction of voice.
Time will tell :)
Are you assuming a phone here or including the 12" iPad Pro with a keyboard?
You can probably tell Electron isn't my favorite way to make Mac apps.
I totally understand that Electron's memory footprint is not acceptable for very small apps that only serve as a utility. For Life though, which is supposed to replace 2-3 other apps, a memory footprint of ~300mb seems fine to me. In-app performance is also good.
I cannot say anything about the iOS Routine app because I have not tried it yet.
