Why it exists

Built for the gap between a note and a plan.

A lot of personal work starts too small for a project, then gets too connected for a plain note. Buttercycle is for that middle state: one loose thought can become a Track without forcing a heavy system too early.

The product is still in beta because the shape should be proven in real personal work, not only in a tidy demo.

Product shape

A Track keeps the context together.

A Track links the work around it. Open one, and the related context opens with it.

Step 01

Place it later

You can classify it later. Write the sentence into PIT first.

Step 02

What matters now

Only the active Track and next task stay visible in Pulse.

Step 03

The long flow

Weeks, months, and years live in Spread.

Step 04

Context

Notes, links, dates, and goals stay attached to the Track.

PIT first

You write. PIT sorts.

PIT drafts the structure first. Keep it, edit it, or drop it. Nothing is saved until you decide.

PIT

One thought, then PIT IT.
