Cycle Reminder

Keep forgetting things you need to do again and again? Ordinary reminder apps just fire on schedule, whether you're done or not. Cycle Reminder is different — its unique Loop mode starts counting down to the next reminder only after you complete the task, so reminders follow your pace. THREE REMINDER TYPES FOR EVERY ROUTINE • One-Time: a single alert at the set time, for one-off matters • Scheduled: fires on a fixed schedule — daily meds, weekly reviews • Loop: the next round starts only after you finish — drink water every 2 hours, stretch after each break. Not done yet? No nagging. ALARM-GRADE ALERTS Turn on Alarm Alert for important tasks: rings for about 25 seconds and breaks through Focus and Do Not Disturb, as dependable as an alarm clock. BUSY RIGHT NOW? IT WAITS Snooze a reminder for later, or pause the task until you mark it done manually. Every completion is archived by month, so you can see your streak grow. BUILT-IN POMODORO TIMER A customizable focus countdown — reminders and deep work in one place. WORRY-FREE BY DESIGN • Two soothing themes: Forest and Journal • All data stays on your device — no account, no ads, no tracking • Full features free for up to 3 tasks; one-time purchase unlocks unlimited tasks. No subscription. Perfect for: water and medication reminders, stretch breaks, workout check-ins, habit building, recurring work routines — anything you do on repeat. Put your recurring tasks on loop with Cycle Reminder.
