Cycles, day to lifetime
Every cycle has a focus, a score and a review. Weeks tile months, months tile quarters — so a clean sum rolls up through your whole year.
Progress is a cycle. Keep it turning.
Six stages, on every day, week and year. You already know you should run them. Cykl makes sure you actually do.

The gap
Everyone knows the cycle. Almost no one runs it.
Athletes train in blocks. Scientists run experiments. Good companies close every quarter with a review. Progress anywhere comes from the same six stages, repeated. The hard part was never knowing that — it is running the loop on every day, week, quarter and year at once, for years, on memory and willpower alone.
The cycle
Six stages. Eight cycles.
Every cycle in Cykl — a day, a week, a quarter, a whole chapter of your life — runs the same six stages. Small loops turn inside bigger ones, and each one feeds the next.

Track once, benefit everywhere. A number you log on Tuesday rolls up into the week, the month, the quarter and the year — you never enter it twice.
Three layers
See the whole. Live the moment.
Direction flows down. Insights flow up.
Your experience continuously adjusts the course.

DesignLifetime · Seasons · Chapters
Who you are becoming. Values, vision and the arc of the decades — revisited on a cadence, never set and forgotten.

IntegrateYears · Quarters · Months · Weeks
Where the vision becomes a plan: a theme for the year, projects for the quarter, one focus for the week.

The only place a life is actually lived. What today teaches you flows back up and shapes the week, the year, the chapter.
Ask Cykl
Ask your own life anything.
Years of days, reviews and projects become something you can talk to. Ask Cykl reads across your whole record — reflections, metrics, cycles and projects — and answers with the evidence it rests on. Beside every exercise, review and plan, the same thinking partner is one tap away.
- It reads years in seconds. Periods compared, metrics correlated, reflections searched — then it names the days, weeks and projects the answer rests on.
- It spots patterns. Reads across your peak experiences, strengths and scores, and names what you would miss.
- It argues back. Checks whether a choice truly resonates before you commit a season to it.
- It lowers the cost of capture. A spoken check-in becomes structured metrics and reflection in seconds.
Rule 1It reads your record and changes nothing. Everywhere else, every result is a proposal you accept, edit or discard.
Rule 2An accelerant, never a dependency. Every flow also works by hand, and offline.
An example conversation in Ask Cykl. Asked what actually gives them energy, the assistant reads the record and answers: work they chose, unbroken sleep and people before noon — and the second coffee only feels like it helps. The answer is based on 603 days, 86 weeks and 7 quarters.

What it does
Everything a deliberate life needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Not a task manager. Not a habit tracker. Not a notes app. The system that keeps the cycle turning, from the day you are living to the life you are designing.
Habits and a mastery score
Tick a habit and the score moves. Every habit advances a domain of your life, and the target is 70–80% — designed so a good week never feels like a fail.
Metrics and targets
Sleep, energy, revenue, kilometres — any number, tracked at the day and read at every level above. Untracked means invisible, never a zero.
Projects and actions
Strategic, long, mid and short-term projects, each with a definition of done and an ICE score. Actions live inside the day, in the work block you planned them for.
Vision, on a cadence
Wheel of life, values, anti-vision, peak experiences, a manifesto — thirty guided exercises across chapter, season and lifetime, distilled into a few lines every cycle below can read.
Voice check-in
Say how the day went. Your metrics, wins, lessons and tomorrow's focus fill themselves in — and you review the result before it lands.
In the app
The day you are living. The life you are designing.
Why it works
Built for a real life, not an ideal one.
01
Menu, not mandate
Habits, projects, actions and metrics are all optional. The focus field alone is a complete system. The app looks right at every level of use — including none.
02
Support low days
Execution, recovery, unplugged, sick. Change the day type and what is expected of you changes with it. A rest day is not a failed day.
03
Don't target perfection
Scores are built to exceed 100%. Hitting 70–80% of the possible points is the goal, so the system rewards consistency instead of punishing life.
04
Clarity through compression
Never scan hundreds of raw entries. Every cycle shows a few signals, and every signal lets you drill down to the day that produced it.
Works offline. Yours, entirely.
Your cycles, projects and reviews live on your device first, so the app works in a tunnel, on a plane, or with the Wi-Fi off — and sync to your account, so every device has the same copy. Export everything to a single JSON file whenever you like. AI only runs when you ask: the parts of your record a question needs go to Claude, are never used to train it, and are never sold or shown to advertisers. How AI uses your data →
