Cyclee

Read full description

Recurring plans, at your pace. Cyclee is a gentle recurring task tracker and reminder for chores, routines, maintenance, self-care, and everything you do again and again. Most repeating schedules keep moving from a fixed due date. Cyclee works differently: when you mark something complete, the next cycle starts from the day you actually finished it. If a weekly cleaning task is completed two days late, the next target is seven days after that completion—not the original date. Your schedule adapts to real life, so overdue tasks do not pile up and your routine stays realistic. ■ The next date starts from completion Choose an interval in days, weeks, months, or years. Record what you finished and Cyclee automatically calculates the next target date. Finish early, finish late, or take a break—the cycle follows your pace. ■ See every task at a glance Clear statuses show whether a task is waiting, active, coming soon, due, overdue, or completed. See the path from the previous completion to the next target without memorizing dates. ■ One calendar for chores and routines Track cleaning, changing sheets, watering plants, replacing supplies, beauty and self-care, pet care, home or vehicle maintenance, appointments, and other recurring tasks in one calendar. See the previous completion, upcoming target, and actual history together so the rhythm of everyday life is easy to understand. ■ Keep a useful completion history Review when each task was completed, its selected interval, and how the actual date compared with the target. Your history can help you discover the schedule that truly works for you. ■ Reminders when they matter Choose notifications before a target, on the target date, or after it passes. Reminders can be enabled separately for each task, so Cyclee helps without becoming noisy. ■ Dynamic Island and Live Activities Follow the current status and progress toward the next target from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Availability and presentation depend on your device and iOS version. ■ Home and Lock Screen widgets Check upcoming tasks, current status, target dates, and cycle progress without opening the app. ■ Cyclee is useful for • Household chores and cleaning schedules • Habits that do not happen every day • Replacements, refills, inspections, and maintenance • Plant care, pet care, and self-care • Recurring appointments and personal routines • Anyone who wants flexible reminders instead of a strict streak Life does not always follow the plan. Some things happen early, some happen late, and sometimes you need a pause. Even when the date changes, begin again from the day it was done. From completion to the next cycle. Make recurring life feel easier with Cyclee. ABOUT AUTO-RENEWABLE SUBSCRIPTIONS This app offers premium features through an auto-renewable subscription.

About

Rhythms

Features
Read full description

Rhythms tracks the things that need doing again — and measures them the way you actually think about them: by how long it has been. Most reminder apps only know the calendar. "Every Sunday" is fine until you miss a Sunday, and then you are either four days early or a week behind. Rhythms adds a second kind of schedule that starts counting from the moment you actually finished. TWO WAYS TO REPEAT • Fixed — the traditional calendar schedule: daily, chosen weekdays, monthly, yearly. The date is the date. • Rolling — counts from your last completion. Change the sheets every 7 days, water the plants every 3, service the bike every 3 months. Late once and the next one moves with you, instead of punishing you for it. SEE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN Every task shows its progress through its own cycle. The card fills up as the time is used, and once something is overdue it keeps counting — "+2d 4h" — with the colour warming gradually rather than shouting on day one. Prefer a ring around the button? Switch it in Settings. TODAY STAYS HONEST Anything overdue by more than three of its own cycles steps out of Today so it stops burying the things you can still get to. It is not hidden: a line at the top says how many, and takes you straight to them. HISTORY THAT MEANS SOMETHING Streaks count consecutive on-time completions, not consecutive days — because a task set to every three days was never meant to be done daily. See your on-time rate, your longest run, and a month of activity at a glance. BUILT LIKE AN IOS APP Light and dark, generous type, precise haptics, no clutter. Categories with your own colours and icons, and per-task overrides when one needs to stand out. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No analytics. No advertising. Nothing leaves your device unless you turn on iCloud sync, and then it goes only to your own iCloud account. Apart from that, the only network calls Rhythms makes are to the App Store when you buy something. FREE AND PRO Free keeps three tasks, with every scheduling feature and the full history. Pro removes the task limit and adds iCloud sync across your devices, plus backup and restore. One-off purchase, or a subscription if you would rather — your choice, and the one-off never expires. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Rhythms Pro (Yearly) is US$9.99 per year and Rhythms Pro (Monthly) is US$0.99 per month; both auto-renew. The one-off Rhythms Pro is US$14.99, is permanent and never renews. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
