Cycle Reminder

Cycle Reminder turns every recurring task into a visual cycle you can read at a glance.

Whether it's watering the plants, taking medication, doing the laundry, stretching at your desk, or reapplying sunscreen — most routines aren't a single beep on a schedule. They have a window: a stretch of time where you don't need to act yet, a stretch where you should, and a stretch where you really must. Cycle Reminder is built around that idea.

HOW IT WORKS For each task you set three durations:

• Rest — you don't need to think about it yet
• Can-Do — a good time to take care of it
• Must-Do — it's overdue, handle it now

The task appears on your home screen as a smooth progress ring that fills as time passes, color-shifting from rest, to can-do, to must-do. One tap on the reset button and the cycle starts over.

WHAT YOU GET

• Three-stage progress gauges that make priority obvious without reading text
• Local notifications and alarms when a stage ends — even when the app is closed
• Pause a task when you're traveling or on a break, resume without losing position
• Swipe to delete, long-press to drag and reorder
• Pull down on the list to search across all your tasks
• Edit any task's title and durations at any time
• Everything stored locally on your device — no account, no cloud, no sync setup

GREAT FOR

• Household routines: watering plants, changing filters, cleaning the litter box, taking out compost
• Personal care: medication, supplements, contact lenses, sunscreen, hydration
• Wellness: posture breaks, eye breaks, stretching, walking the dog
• Work: standups, focus blocks, recurring follow-ups
• Hobbies and pets: feeding schedules, fermenting, sourdough starter, aquarium maintenance
