Wherever work happens
From the moment an idea lands to the next move.
A freelancer at a café, a campaign in the studio, a launch in transit, or a shop preparing to open. Wherever the work moves, the dates, decisions, and context stay connected in one Track.
Capture the thought in PIT, see what matters now in Pulse, and keep the long view in Spread. Buttercycle keeps the flow intact when the place you work changes.
How it works
Enter it once. See it in the view you need.
Save the PIT draft as a Track. Pulse brings forward what needs attention now, while Spread keeps the longer timeline.

PIT
Add one line. Get the structure the work needs.
PIT reads beyond Steps and next Tasks to surface goals, timing, budget, and risk. Missing conditions stay as questions for you to review before anything is saved.

Analyzed Track draft
PIT found both the execution structure and the missing conditions in the launch idea.
Season launch operating plan
Keep the idea, source material, and decisions in one execution flow.
Confirm the success criteria
Review who it is for, what ships, and when it needs to go live.
Brief → make → review → release
Connect each phase so a delay reveals its downstream impact.
Name the first reviewer and scope
Surface one person, input, and decision you can confirm today.
Work backward from release
Sequence brief, production, and review deadlines without gaps.
Budget ceiling needs confirmation
No amount was provided, so PIT keeps it as a condition to verify.
Plan for approval delay
Confirm the final approver and a fallback date if review slips.
Spread
From the next deadline to the five-year plan.
Move between 3-month, 1-year, and 5-year ranges to compare each Track's start, deadline, and next Task.

Run concepts and shoot prep in parallel
While concepts are reviewed, connect the studio, photographer, props, and dates.
