Cycles, day to lifetime
Every cycle has a focus, a score and a review. Weeks tile months and months tile quarters, so a clean sum rolls up through your whole year.
Plan. Do. Review. From today to your whole life.
Cykl runs the same loop on your day, week and year. Each one feeds the next, so what you do today counts. Work with any AI you like. It all lands in Cykl.

The gap
It's not that you don't know. Nothing holds it together.
Plan the day, do the work, look back at night. Same for the week, the month, the year. None of this is news. But nobody can keep eight of those going in their head, so some weeks you're on it and some months just disappear. Stop running it from memory. Get a system that holds it for you.
The cycle
Plan. Do. Review. On every timescale.
The work happens in days. Every level above plans it, carries it out through the levels below, and reviews it: the week in days, the year in quarters, a lifetime in decades. Direction flows down; what you learn flows back up.
Energy is the input
Your work is the output. You are the system.
Results look like the place to start, so most systems start there. Cykl starts with what goes in: the five energy domains that decide whether you turn up at your best. Switch one off and watch what reaches work and love.
Work100% of your best
Love100% of your best
All five in. Work and love get you at your best.
Bring your own AI
Talk to your AI. Cykl remembers.
A chat is a brilliant place to think and a poor place to keep anything. Connect Cykl to ChatGPT or Claude and your assistant works on one plan that stays put. It knows your week, your projects and the vision you have for your life. Now your life has a living context for all that you do.
- Works in ChatGPT, Claude and any app that speaks MCP
- Reads your focus, projects and reviews; adds projects, actions and notes
- Every change shows up in Cykl, and one tap takes it back
An example: in ChatGPT, someone asks what they should focus on this week. Their assistant reads their current state from Cykl and answers with the week's focus, how the week is going and the one part of their life that is slipping.
Cykl's own AI
AI where you already are.
Not another chat to open. Cykl's AI sits inside the moments the cycle already has, and it always knows where you are in it. When something stands out, it tells you.
When you plan
A focus that serves the year
Planning October, it reads Q4 and 2026 and drafts three lines, each saying what it serves.
When you check in
Say it, it's filled in
Last night's sleep is already in from your watch. Talk through the rest; the numbers, wins and lessons land in their places for you to apply.
When you close
The quarter, drafted
Closing Q3, it has read 13 weekly reviews and drafts what the quarter came to, and the lesson that kept returning.
Now and then
A note, when it matters
Never on a schedule, at most once a week: a pattern in your numbers, a lesson that keeps returning, a 100-day streak. It reaches your lock screen, and the bell keeps every one.
The time it takes
Two moments a day. Then you're done.
Eight timescales sound like a lot of upkeep. Most of it happens in two short moments: a few minutes in the morning to plan the day, with the night already in from your watch and your calendar beside the plan, a few more at night to look back on it, quicker if you logged as you went. Once a week, a proper sit-down. The months and years above are built from what those moments already caught.

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%, 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.
Filled from your watch
Switch it on once and Cykl reads Apple Health itself: last night's sleep, resting heart rate, steps and weight are in the morning check-in, whichever watch or ring recorded them. Read only, on your phone, and a number you type always wins.
Your calendar, beside the plan
The calendars on your iPhone or Mac, Google Calendar, or any subscription link sit beside your focus as you plan the day and the week. Read only: a meeting is never a to-do, never ticked and never scored.
Private by design
AI sends Claude only the part of your record it needs, and Claude never trains on it. Nothing is sold and there are no ads. Usage analytics count how the app is used, never what you write, and every part that leaves your phone has its own switch. And if you want more, a private vault encrypts your record on your devices, so even we can’t read it. How AI uses your data →
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.
Offline first
Planned on a plane. Synced when you land.
Your whole record lives on your phone, not behind a loading spinner. Check in from a tunnel, plan the quarter at 30,000 feet, close the week in a cabin with no signal. When you're back, it syncs, and every device has the same copy.
- Every level, from today to your whole life, works with the Wi-Fi off
- A full copy on each device you sign in on
- Export all of it to one file, any day
Private vault
Your journal is yours. Even from us.
One switch in Settings. Your devices hold the key; our servers hold scrambled text. Your lessons, your health numbers and your plans can't be read by us, by our host, or by anyone who breaks in.
