Create a cycle

A cycle brings products, periods and times together in a plan. The app uses it to build the agenda and organize records.

Open Cycles → Add → New cycle. Enter a name and tap Continue. Choose something you will recognize in the list, such as “September tracking”.

Before starting, add the products and supplies you want to select in Health.

A compound is a base product in the cycle. Its product record identifies what you use; its cycle configuration defines when and in what quantity.

Use Add compound to select a product from your library. Protectors and PCT are in the same Add menu. Protectors become available after a compound is configured; PCT requires a defined cycle end date.

Single mode configures one product. Combine groups parenteral products in one application, with a volume for each. This records the configuration you enter; it does not check compatibility between products.

Each product you add becomes a card, stacked with the others. Tap a card to open it; on the open card, tap Edit to change its configuration. To remove a product, touch and hold the card and choose Delete.

A phase is a section of a compound’s period, used to represent a constant dose or changes in the plan.

Enter the start date and an end date, if applicable. The app asks whether the dose increases at the beginning or decreases at the end. These stages are called Ramp-up and Wind-down; the constant period is the Plateau.

Phases for the same compound cannot overlap. The end date still belongs to that phase: if it ends on the 10th, the next starts on the 11th or later.

The Plateau is one continuous section: it can be split into consecutive blocks with nothing between them, but it cannot come back after another phase or a gap. Ramp-up and Wind-down require a Plateau. Check the validation message if your structure is not accepted.

While setting up the cycle, you will see the phases on the calendar: blue for Ramp-up, green for Plateau and orange for Wind-down.

For oral products, set quantities, days and times. For applications, also enter sites, volumes, syringes and needles.

The Set doses, times and sites article covers these options. You can find it in the links at the end of this page.

Protector is the category for products used alongside a cycle to address unwanted effects; the name does not guarantee protection. PCT means post-cycle therapy. Having these options in the app does not mean you need them.

Protectors have their own period, days and doses. PCT uses phase configuration and must start after the end of the cycle, as validated by the app.

If a warning appears about the PCT date, review your plan before proceeding. The app organizes the information you enter; treatment decisions should come from your healthcare professional.

In the Add menu, use Add exam. If you want, choose an exam Model; without a model, the exam appears simply as “Exam”. Enter when it starts (Starts on), the Time and when you want to be reminded: at the time, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or 1 day before.

Repeat can be once, weekly, monthly, or every few weeks or months. The End date is optional: left blank, the series runs until the cycle ends, and it can never go past that end.

The series joins the cycle as a card, like the products. Saving the cycle stores that schedule. The report is sent from the exam’s card in the agenda. The alert belongs to the Cycle category, under Settings → Notifications.

When setup is complete, tap Continue to open the Preview. Check the products and planned days before saving. Use the arrows to change months and swipe through the days to see the items. For exams, check the reminder time too.

Tap Save on this screen and wait for confirmation. At least one compound must be configured. Correct any incomplete items or conflicting dates identified by the app. Once saved, the cycle appears in the list; the agenda shows uses and exams according to the planned period.
