Limit Cycle.

Software you return to without deciding to.

A small independent studio building purpose-built apps for iPhone, Mac, and the web. One idea each. Made to be lived with.

The name

A limit cycle is the orbit a system settles into.

Knock it off course and it comes back. Not because anything is holding it there, but because that path is the one the system actually wants.

That is the whole standard here. A good tool isn't the one that captures the most attention — it's the one you drift back to on an ordinary Tuesday, having never been asked.

How we build

One image, one idea, and an answer instead of a dashboard.

Every app starts as a metaphor and refuses to grow past it. If a feature can't live inside that one image, it doesn't ship.

The name is the feature If the idea can't be said in one word, it isn't finished being thought about.
Answers, not dashboards The screen resolves to a single number, a single winner, a single next thing. Nothing to interpret, nothing to babysit.
No ads, no tracking, no bait Nothing measures your attention, nothing is sold, and no data goes to brokers. Several of these apps work with no connection at all.
Quiet by default An app that narrates an ordinary evening should almost never make a sound. Interruption is a cost, and it gets budgeted like one.
Native, and it feels like it SwiftUI on Apple platforms. Springs, haptics, and weight where the web would give you a CSS transition and nothing in your hand.

The work

The first one.

More in build. Each solves exactly one problem for someone who actually has it, and nothing else.

Beeline

The fastest line home.

Times your saved driving routes against each other, live, and tells you which one to take as you set off.
