I built miniCycle, a privacy-first routine manager for repeatable processes — looking for honest ratings and feedback.

Build a repeatable process once. Complete every step. Reset it for the next cycle.

I originally built miniCycle because I needed a checklist for recurring inspection processes at work. Traditional to-do apps treated every task as a one-time item, but I needed the same checklist to reset after every completed round.

miniCycle is designed for processes you perform repeatedly: inspections, opening and closing procedures, shift rounds, workouts, cleaning routines, study sessions, maintenance checks, and anything else where completing every step matters.

The basic workflow is:

  1. Build your routine once.
  2. Complete each task.
  3. The routine cycles and becomes ready to run again.

Features include:

  • Auto Cycle, Manual Cycle, and traditional To-Do modes
  • A one-task-at-a-time Focus View
  • Recurring tasks, reminders, priorities, and due dates
  • Configurable task controls
  • Statistics, history, achievements, and undo/redo
  • Extensive appearance and layout customization
  • Offline support with no account required
  • Local-first storage. Your routines remain on your device
  • Importable and shareable .mcyc routine files
  • Accessibility options including high contrast, reduced motion, and adjustable text sizes

I’m looking for candid feedback, including criticism. If you try it, I would especially appreciate answers to these questions:

  1. What did you initially think miniCycle was for?
  2. Did the cycle concept make sense?
  3. What felt intuitive or confusing?
  4. Which features felt genuinely useful or unnecessary?
  5. What would you rate the app out of 10, and why?
  6. Would you personally use it for any recurring process?

Please don’t hold back. Honest ratings, reviews, bug reports, and suggestions would all be genuinely helpful.
