Recurring work, without the overdue list

Give recurring work a fair turn.

Cycles rotates the things you repeat, surfaces what deserves attention next, and builds a realistic plan around the time you actually have.

One clear next turn

A plan that moves with real life.

Cycles keeps the order honest, then adapts the day without rewriting what happened.

01

Name the cycles

Group recurring work by the area it serves—creative practice, home reset, learning, training, or anything else you want to keep moving.

02

Set the rhythm

Choose daily, selected weekdays, every few days, or a weekly frequency. Set a daily capacity that reflects the time you actually have.

03

Take the next turn

Open Today and act on one clear Top Pick. Complete it, finish something ahead, or skip without pretending the work was done.

Built from the real app

See what deserves your attention next.

Today protects your capacity while keeping the next task clear and the rest of the plan visible.

1

One recommended task

Clear reasons help you trust why it is next.

2

A capacity-aware Today plan

Commit to a realistic amount, with optional work kept separate.

3

Evidence, not guilt

Review the last seven days and adjust the next week from real activity.

Rotations that match the work

Keep a fixed order, give some tasks more frequent turns, or shuffle without repeats. Preview the rotation before following it.

A plan that fits

Set capacity in minutes or tasks. Cycles allocates the day across active areas while respecting spacing, caps, and cadence.

Flexible without rewriting history

Complete the current task, finish one ahead, pause a cycle, or skip a turn. Cycles adapts without recording work you did not do.

Rhythm, not due dates

Tell Cycles how often an area should receive attention. It notices when a rhythm slips without filling the app with overdue badges.

See where attention went

Review focused minutes, finished turns, cycle mix, slipping work, paused items, and the upcoming rotation.
