Get to know your daily patterns with Cyclune: an Apple Health-based Daily Rhythm Score and classic biorhythm cycles in one private app. RHYTHM β YOUR DAILY PATTERNS With your permission, Cyclune reads the last 14 days of Apple Health data to estimate a Daily Rhythm Score (0β100). Explore sleep timing, sleep duration, daytime activity, activity consistency, heart recovery and daylight. The confidence indicator shows how much usable data supports your score. Free access includes your score and up to three available factors, with insights and tips based on those factors. Pro opens the full six-factor breakdown, insights based on all available factors, a 14-day score history, todayβs activity timeline and advanced 24-hour activity rhythm analysis. Available results depend on your Health data; at least three useful days are needed. CLASSIC β EXPLORE YOUR CYCLES Enter your date of birth to explore traditional biorhythm curves. Physical and Emotional cycles, an energy ring, charts and a 7β90-day forecast are free. Pro adds Intellectual, Intuitive, Spiritual, Aesthetic and Charismatic cycles, detailed insights, trends and next peak/trough forecasts. Compare up to three local profiles: two cycles for free, all seven with Pro. Classic biorhythms are for entertainment and self-reflection, not scientifically validated predictions. APPLE WATCH & WIDGETS Keep your latest Rhythm and Classic summaries close with the companion Apple Watch app and watch face complications. Watch summaries refresh from your paired iPhone. The Watch interface is in English. Pro also includes Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets on iPhone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking and no Cyclune cloud server. Health data is read only and processed on your iPhone. Compact summaries can sync to your paired Apple Watch; nothing is uploaded to us. Share cards only when you choose. Optional reminders are local. PRO β ONE PURCHASE Unlock Pro with one optional in-app purchase. No subscription and no recurring charges. Restore your purchase with the same Apple ID. Cyclune is a self-observation tool. Its scores and insights are estimates, not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or a measure of readiness. Apple Health access is optional; Classic works without it.

How was today? elou asks one question and keeps your answer as a single colored square. Over time the squares become a year you can read at a glance. ONE TAP A DAY Pick Good, Okay or Bad. That's it. If you want to say a little more, add a short note about what made the day feel that way. YOUR YEAR, IN COLOR Every day you log fills in a square on your year ribbon: sage for good, sand for okay, terracotta for bad. Swipe back to see earlier years, and see how many days you've logged in each one. LOOK BACK, GENTLY Tap any day to read what you wrote. Your most recent entries sit under Lately, so the last few days are always close by. MISSED A DAY? Tap its empty square and fill it in. You can edit any entry later, too. EVERY MOOD COUNTS The colors are earthy on purpose. A bad day isn't an error, and logging one counts as much as logging a good one. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your entries stay on your iPhone. There's no account to create, nothing to sign in to, and no ads, analytics or tracking. elou never connects to the internet, so your notes are never sent anywhere.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: elou at none against Cyclune's 1. Cyclune's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
