About this app

You are not too much. You are not broken. Your brain just runs on a different rhythm.

Cycle is a bipolar mood companion for adults living with bipolar disorder β€” or those exploring whether their mood cycles, episodes, and energy shifts might fit the pattern. Built by someone who understands what it means to live with a brain that runs on its own rhythm. No clinical jargon. No deficit framing. No shame.

🌊 NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

Cycle is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified psychiatrist, therapist, or other healthcare professional with any questions about your mental health.

πŸ“‹ MDQ SCREENER β€” ALWAYS FREE

The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) is a clinically validated screening tool. Thirteen yes/no questions help you understand whether your experience aligns with patterns described by people with bipolar disorder. One free AI interpretation included. A positive screen is not a diagnosis β€” always consult a qualified professional.

πŸ“Š DAILY DUAL MOOD LOG β€” FREE

Log your highest and lowest mood each day on a 0-5 scale, alongside sleep hours, energy, irritability, and anxiety. Color-coded so patterns are visible at a glance.

⚑ IN-THE-MOMENT TOOLKIT β€” ALWAYS FREE

When you feel an episode starting, Cycle is there:
- Validation that what you're feeling is real
- Guided breathing and 5-4-3-2-1 grounding
- Mania-specific toolkit: slow down, delay decisions, protect sleep
- Depression-specific toolkit: one small task, hydration, sunlight, reach out
- Always-free crisis resources: 988, Crisis Text Line, NAMI, DBSA

πŸ’Š MEDICATION TRACKER β€” NEVER PAYWALLED

Track your mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and other meds. Daily check-ins, gentle compliance tracking, warm milestones. Always consult your prescribing doctor about any medication concerns.

πŸ“ EPISODE LOGGER β€” FREE

Log manic, hypomanic, mixed, and depressive episodes with severity, triggers, and free-text notes. Build the record your psychiatrist needs.

πŸ›‘οΈ CRISIS SAFETY PLAN β€” FREE, ACCESSIBLE FROM ANYWHERE

Based on the Stanley-Brown Safety Plan. Six sections you fill out during stable periods. One tap to access during crisis. Pre-loaded with 988 and Crisis Text Line.

πŸŒ™ SLEEP PRODROME WARNING β€” FREE

Sleep disruption is a recognized early warning sign for episodes. Cycle gently flags shifts in your sleep pattern, framed as awareness, never prediction.

βš•οΈ IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

Cycle is a self-reflection and tracking tool. It is not a medical device, not a diagnostic tool, and not a substitute for professional medical care.
