Cycla vs Anchor

Cycla is the first workout app built around your menstrual cycle. Most fitness apps treat every day the same. But your body isn't the same every day — your hormones, energy, strength, and recovery needs shift throughout your cycle. Cycla programs your workouts around that reality. HOW IT WORKS Cycla maps your training to your 4 cycle phases: → Follicular (Days 1-13): Estrogen rises, energy builds. Cycla programs strength training and compound lifts to take advantage of your body's natural building phase. → Ovulatory (Days 14-16): Peak estrogen and testosterone. Your strongest days. Cycla programs your heaviest lifts and most intense sessions here. → Luteal (Days 17-28): Progesterone rises, recovery needs increase. Cycla shifts to moderate training, pilates, and mobility work so you don't overtrain. → Menstrual (Days 1-5): Your body is restoring. Cycla programs gentle pilates, stretching, and restorative movement — no forcing, no guilt. WHAT'S INSIDE - Phase-aware workout programming that updates every day - Strength training and pilates workouts for gym and home - A live phase wheel showing exactly where you are in your cycle - "Why today's workout" — the science behind every session - Daily check-ins for energy, mood, and symptoms - Progress tracking across your full cycle - Beautiful, minimal design built for women YOUR PLAN IN 5 MINUTES Tell Cycla your last period date, cycle length, and training preferences.

Every habit app starts the same way. You build a streak. Then life gets heavy, and the app shows you a broken streak or a zero. You feel like you failed. You stop opening it. That's not you. That's an app that wasn't built for your brain. Anchor is different. Anchor is a daily routine companion built specifically for ADHD brains. There are no streaks to break. Instead, every day you show up adds a link to your chain. Miss a day? The chain adds a softer, quieter link and keeps growing. Nothing resets to zero. Your chain never breaks - not ever. Because missing days isn't a failure. It's ADHD. YOUR COMPANION Anchor includes an on-device AI companion that checks in with you, helps you shrink an overwhelming day down to just one routine, and writes you a personal weekly letter reading your real week back to you with kindness. Unlike other apps, Anchor's AI runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence. Nothing - your routines, your patterns, your letters - is ever sent anywhere. No account. No cloud. No subscription required to start. WHAT ANCHOR DOES Your chain never breaks: every day you show up adds a link. Miss a day, and a softer link is added. Nothing ever resets to zero. On-device AI companion: warm morning check-ins based on your real routines. Not a generic "Great job!" Your real week. Hard Day Mode: feeling overwhelmed? Anchor shows only your most important routine and hides the rest. One thing. That's enough. Daily check-in: tell your companion what kind of day you're having. It adjusts what it shows you and how it talks to you. Link your routines: connect each routine to something you already do ("After my morning coffee: Morning meds"). This method can double follow-through for ADHD brains. Weekly personal letter: once a week, your companion writes you a short letter about your week. Not generic encouragement. Your stats, your patterns, your wins. Alexa announcements (Pro): phone notifications are easy to ignore. Anchor can announce your routines on any Alexa in your home. Morning, afternoon, and evening blocks: see only what you need right now. Medication reminders: on hard days, medication routines are automatically prioritized. No red states. No guilt. No broken streaks. FREE FOREVER Start with up to 3 routines. Your chain and all your history are yours forever - no expiry, no nag screens, no data held hostage. Show up consistently and Anchor unlocks more routine slots automatically - no purchase required. ANCHOR PRO (OPTIONAL) Pro adds a companion that learns you over time - your specific routines, your patterns across weeks, which days run harder, what's becoming automatic. After a few weeks it starts noticing things: "Tuesdays look harder for you - that's just data, not a verdict." Pro includes: Unlimited routines Companion memory - learns your patterns week over week Weekly personal letter, written about your real week "Too much today?" - shrink your day to one routine Alexa announcements - hear your routines spoken aloud in your home, not just on your phone Everything runs on your phone. Nothing sent anywhere. Pro is $2.99/month or $24.99 once - yours forever, no recurring charge. PRIVACY Everything stays on your phone. There is no Anchor account, no server, no analytics. When you delete the app, everything goes with it. Anchor's AI uses Apple Intelligence - running entirely on your device, not ours. The AI companion requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later). On every other iPhone, the chain, routines, and reminders work beautifully - nothing is greyed out or locked. BUILT FOR YOU Anchor was built for adults with ADHD who've tried every habit app and stopped using them. If the app ever made you feel worse about yourself, this is what we built instead. No shame. No broken chains. Terms of Use: https://workstreamapps.com/anchor/terms
