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.
π 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.
π 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.

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.
