Some things don't fit in a to-do list. A decision you keep deferring. A conversation you haven't had. Something you've been meaning to close for months. These are open cycles — and every time one resurfaces, it costs you a little. ByeCycle is a calm place to face them, one at a time. Add what keeps coming back to your mind. Then decide: finish it, drop it, pause it, or take one small step. All four are valid. Choosing to let something go counts just as much as getting it done. DIFFERENT FROM A TO-DO LIST No overdue states, no streaks, no guilt. ByeCycle doesn't track whether you did things — it tracks whether you decided. Resolution doesn't have to mean completion. HOW IT WORKS Write down what keeps surfacing. Swipe through your active cycles one at a time. Act when you're ready. Come back when you're not. A JOURNEY THAT SHIFTS AS YOU LIGHTEN As you resolve cycles, a bicycle moves forward through a changing landscape — from grey and heavy to open and bright. It's not a reward system. It's what carrying less feels like. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account to create. No subscription. No data ever leaves your device. Everything is stored locally. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Keep your active cycles visible without opening the app, in small or medium size. ByeCycle is for people who are quietly carrying too many unresolved things. Not because they're disorganized. Because they care.
