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

FREE WITH OPTIONAL UPGRADE
Cycle Reminder is free to download and use. A small banner ad appears at the bottom to support development. If you'd rather not see ads, a one-time in-app purchase removes them permanently — no subscription, no recurring charges.
PRIVACY
Your tasks live only on your iPhone. We don't collect, sync, or upload them. There is no sign-in. Aside from the standard requirements of the ad SDK, no analytics or personal data leave your device.
Download Cycle Reminder and replace the mental load of "when did I last do that?" with a quiet, visual answer.
