About this app

Make your own to do list of 'spoons' a day to manage your energy levels

Planning your day ahead of time saves vital energy as decision making which is rushed and last minute can be tiring.

At a glance you will see that your days activities are going to be manageable as they will be within your spoon allowance.

There is even the option of adjusting your spoons allowance for the day if you have had a previous busy day, poor nights sleep or are having a flare up.

New in 2019 is the ability to add activities that replenish you, like a spa or Yoga, to recover spoons.

Whether for Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis or other chronic illness, making choices ahead of time will empower you to feel confident making plans and give you a sense of control.

Ratings and reviews

No ads, but a bit difficult to use. It isn't particularly user friendly but has a lot of potential for improvement. If you set the "default spoon quota" in settings to higher than 20, it will let you, but then will not show that many on the main page. Please fix this. I would also like to recommend having categories for each level of spoons (a page for one, two... a page for recovery). Notifications would also be nice, and a way to track mood via numbers or pixels. Overall, decent. Thank you. :)

This app uses a pretty basic interface and lacks the flashy polish of other to-do list apps. However this is the only spoon energy management app available and does what it says on the tin. Users create activities or choose from presets, and assign spoon values to them. As users complete their to-do lists, the app subtracts the spoon values of each activity from the days' spoons as set by the user. The app also includes a mood tracker. The developer Rob is friendly and responsive.

This is great! The only 2 things I wish for - ability to easily add some tasks as every day base tasks so you don't have to add them each day. And ability to change the colours of the app would be nice. 🤷 But these are just extra things. It works great and I have tried a lot of tracker apps that are way too complex and I end up not using them at all. I like how simple this is, and how it can measure your spoons in an easy and also private way in case someone is snoopy-it looks very nonchalant.
