Cycle is the app that lets you set the drip rate for creators and content you want to remember.
Cycle is for people who prioritize their time and attention. Who don't want to fully disconnect, but want more control over what they see and when they see it.
An overview of the inspiration and motivation
Engagement-based feeds flood us with endless noise. We're constantly bombarded by content that doesn't align with what we want, leaving us drained, distracted, and scattered. When we do find things that pique our interest, we organize it into lists and collections, but rarely return to explore them.
Social media traps us in fomo. We try to limit it by using blocker apps. It’s limiting, and we still feel the pull anyway.
There is a better way that doesn’t limit you, but liberates you…
You can customize the design of your personal feed to your liking.
Cycle makes sure what you follow and save resurfaces at the right moment with a private feed where you control the rate. No algorithms bending your attention, no endless lists to sift through. Just a simple, intuitive way to keep what matters most within reach with a private feed. In one sense, it's personal AI meets bookmarking.
A mark you add today will find its way back to you. Let it drift for a while, and when the time feels right, it will resurface… effortlessly, like a thought returning at just the right moment.
Deeply inspired by the cycles we observe in nature. Day and night. Winter and summer. Phases of the moon. Periods and durations of rest occur throughout the natural environment.

Common questions
What is Cycle?
Cycle is an app that helps resurface what you want to revisit. It might be a post you liked, something you followed, or a link you saved. Cycle brings it back over time instead of letting it disappear.
How does it work?
You add links to things you want to remember, and Cycle brings them back to you over time. Instead of getting lost in an overwhelming stream of irrelevant posts, Cycle makes sure what you follow and save resurfaces at the right moment.
How do I upgrade my account?
You can upgrade your account at any time by clicking the 'Upgrade' button in the settings menu. Upgrading lets you skip the waitlist, get first access to updates, and support the continued development of Cycle.
Why is it important to upgrade and support small software?
Supporting small software like Cycle helps ensure its continued development and independence. When you upgrade, you're directly funding the creation of thoughtful, user-focused tools rather than ad-driven alternatives. Small teams can prioritize quality and user experience over rapid growth, creating better products that respect your attention and privacy.
How often does my feed update?
Your feed updates once a day. It's not going to change every few seconds like social feeds. No fomo. Visit a few things in the morning and save some for in the afternoon as a little treat.
What can I add to Cycle?
You can add any link you want to remember. Instagram accounts, websites, podcasts, Spotify albums, or even just a gif. Just about anything.
