Cycle Reminder turns every recurring task into a visual cycle you can read at a glance. Whether it's watering the plants, taking medication, doing the laundry, stretching at your desk, or reapplying sunscreen — most routines aren't a single beep on a schedule. They have a window: a stretch of time where you don't need to act yet, a stretch where you should, and a stretch where you really must. Cycle Reminder is built around that idea. HOW IT WORKS For each task you set three durations: - Rest — you don't need to think about it yet - Can-Do — a good time to take care of it - Must-Do — it's overdue, handle it now The task appears on your home screen as a smooth progress ring that fills as time passes, color-shifting from rest, to can-do, to must-do. One tap on the reset button and the cycle starts over. WHAT YOU GET - Three-stage progress gauges that make priority obvious without reading text - Local notifications and alarms when a stage ends — even when the app is closed - Pause a task when you're traveling or on a break, resume without losing position - Swipe to delete, long-press to drag and reorder - Pull down on the list to search across all your tasks - Edit any task's title and durations at any time - Everything stored locally on your device — no account, no cloud, no sync setup GREAT FOR - Household routines: watering plants, changing filters, cleaning the litter box, taking out compost - Personal care: medication, supplements, contact lenses, sunscreen, hydration - Wellness: posture breaks, eye breaks, stretching, walking the dog - Work: standups, focus blocks, recurring follow-ups - Hobbies and pets: feeding schedules, fermenting, sourdough starter, aquarium maintenance FREE WITH OPTIONAL UPGRADE Cycle Reminder is free to download and use. A small banner ad appears at the bottom to support development. If you'd rather not see ads, a one-time in-app purchase removes them permanently — no subscription, no recurring charges. PRIVACY Your tasks live only on your iPhone. We don't collect, sync, or upload them. There is no sign-in. Aside from the standard requirements of the ad SDK, no analytics or personal data leave your device. Download Cycle Reminder and replace the mental load of "when did I last do that?" with a quiet, visual answer.
