Set a timer for anything that repeats, and forget about forgetting.
At a glance
One look tells you what is due.
Cycle turns recurring household chores into countdown rings: the sheets every 2 weeks, the cat litter every 4 days, food that expires in 3 days. Each ring slowly drains from green to yellow to orange, and turns red when it is overdue.

- OverdueRed until you mark it done
Widget-first
One tap, done.
Tap a ring on the Home Screen widget to mark it done and start its next cycle, without opening the app. Choose exactly which timers each widget shows.

Try it
Tap a ring.
A drawing of the Large widget that works like the real one: tap a ring and it is full again. Pressed by mistake? Undo takes one tap.
Effortless
Cleaning, and everything else that repeats.
Start from household templates (Cleaning, Bathroom, Home, Pets and Kitchen): vacuum, change the sheets, clean the bathroom, water the plants. Or make your own in seconds: name, icon, interval, done.
Did it yesterday? Backdate the timer to when you actually did it.
