Cycle Timers vs Tendify

Know when you last cleaned it, and when it’s due again. Free to start. Cycle Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase, no subscription. Cycle is a cleaning and chores tracker built around two dates: last done and next due. The bathroom drain, the washing machine drum, the range hood filter, the cat litter, the bed sheets, the smoke alarm battery. Give each one a rhythm and Cycle shows how long ago you did it and when it’s due again. Every task is a ring that slowly drains from green to yellow to orange, and turns red when it’s overdue. One glance tells you what’s fine, what’s coming, and what needs doing today. One tap marks it done, right from your Home Screen widget, without opening the app. START IN A MINUTE • Pick a pack: Cleaning, Household chores, Home maintenance, Pets, Plants, Food & expiry or Personal • Tell Cycle roughly when you last did each thing, or say you’re not sure and it’s due now • Or add your own: name, icon, place, how often EVERY KIND OF SCHEDULE • Count from the day you finish: every 2 weeks, every 3 months • Or keep fixed days: every Monday, the 1st of the month, the first Saturday, once a year KNOW WHEN YOU LAST DID IT • Every task keeps its history, with optional notes • A calendar shows what you completed, day by day • Backdate a task when you did it yesterday, and undo an accidental tap ROOM BY ROOM • Give tasks a place: kitchen, bathroom, toilet, living room, bedroom, entryway, balcony, car, or your own • Sort by what’s due soonest or group by place. Overdue tasks always stay on top WHEN LIFE HAPPENS • Skip this time, snooze for 1, 3 or 7 days, or pause a task while you’re away. Nothing is lost WIDGET-FIRST • Interactive Home Screen widgets show your most urgent tasks. Tap a ring to mark it done • Choose exactly which tasks each widget shows • Lock Screen widgets keep what’s due one glance away (Cycle Pro) • The Small widget is free; Medium and Large widgets, plus Extra Large on iPad, come with Cycle Pro REASSURING, NOT NAGGING • Calm green for most of a cycle; warm colors only when it matters • One local notification when something comes due, with a Mark Done button right on it • Optional app badge showing the overdue count • Siri and Shortcuts: say “Mark cat litter done in Cycle” PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no tracking • Your tasks stay on your device and are never sent to us • Cycle uses RevenueCat only to count purchases (an anonymous ID and your App Store purchases), and never to track you FREE TO START • Free: up to 4 tasks and one Small Home Screen widget • Cycle Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase: unlimited tasks, Medium and Large widgets (plus Extra Large on iPad), and Lock Screen widgets • Cycle Pro also unlocks Cycle Wrapped, your year in Cycle: a year-end recap you can share • Cycle Pro also lets you message the developer straight from Settings • No subscription, no recurring charges

Tendify keeps track of the things a calendar was never built for. The water filter gets changed "every month or so." The plants get watered "when they look thirsty." You call your parents "regularly." None of it fits in a calendar — so it slips. Tendify watches the one thing that matters here: how long it's been. • Every item shows the time since you last did it • Set how often it should happen: it turns amber as the day nears, red once you're late • One tap marks it done and the count starts over • Widgets on both screens, a Control Center button, Apple Watch, Siri and Shortcuts • Reminders, if you want them The "In-App Purchases" line on this page is a tip jar: a coffee, a burger or a pizza for the developer, if the app earned it. No account. No account, and no server of ours: your list lives on your device. iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch stay in step through your own iCloud, which we cannot see into.
