Cycle Ally

The widget and Siri ​

Cycle Ally has one widget. Touch and hold it, choose Edit Widget, and pick What to show. Seeing the widget is free; marking a dose and the log buttons are part of Plus.

What you can put in it ​

Four switches, all on to begin with:

  • Cycle day — today's cycle day and when the cycle started.
  • Your cycle range — your own range, from your own cycles. No outside number to compare with is shown.
  • Today's doses — the doses you expect today.
  • Buttons that open today's log — Symptoms, Mood & sleep, Note and Nothing today, each opening today's log at that part.

If you turn everything off, the cycle day comes back: a blank square is not a widget.

What each size shows ​

The medium widget shows the first two blocks you turned on, one above the other. The large one shows all of them. On the Lock Screen it shows the first block. Without Plus, the large widget shows the same two blocks as the medium one, and a line saying what Plus adds.

Doses from the widget Plus ​

With Plus, each dose has Taken and Undo. There is no Skip in the widget; skip a dose in the app. The tap is applied when you next open the app, with the time you tapped, not the time the app opened.

Without Plus the dose list is there, but the buttons are not, and the log block says The buttons are in Plus.

During a break ​

On a break the widget shows On a break, and the log buttons are hidden.

Siri and Shortcuts ​

The Shortcuts app has Log today; add it to a shortcut to run it with Siri. It opens today's log at the part you want to fill in: you choose the Part of the day — Symptoms, Mood & sleep, Note or Nothing today.
