Built for days that need pacing, not hustle

See your daily energy budget clearly

A visual energy ring makes it easier to judge what you can take on before burnout catches up.

Plan tasks with realistic spoon costs

Assign energy costs to tasks so daily planning reflects how much effort life actually takes.

Build sustainable routines

Recurring tasks, pacing timers, and focus mode reduce decision fatigue and help days feel more manageable.

Energy-aware planning that stays practical

SpoonDo combines task management with fatigue-aware pacing so daily plans stay more honest, sustainable, and usable.

Energy bank

Track your available spoons with a calm, visual interface designed to make limits easier to understand at a glance.

Recurring tasks

Create daily repeats or custom intervals so routines stay consistent without constant re-entry.

Pacing timer

Use work and rest intervals to keep momentum without pushing past the point where recovery gets harder.

A spoon theory planner for chronic illness energy tracking and ADHD burnout

SpoonDo is for people who need a spoon theory planner, not a standard productivity app. Time-blocking alone does not solve the problem when your real limit is energy, symptoms, or burnout recovery.

If you are searching for chronic illness energy tracking, you need a system that shows what your day can realistically hold. SpoonDo uses spoon-based task costs, recurring routines, and a pacing timer to make that visible.

It also works as an ADHD burnout task manager because it keeps planning gentle. The goal is to make the day feel manageable, not to pressure you into acting like every day has the same capacity.

Common questions

What is a spoon theory planner?

Spoon Theory is a framework — originally described by Christine Miserandino — that uses "spoons" as a metaphor for the limited daily energy available to people living with chronic illness or fatigue. A spoon theory planner like SpoonDo helps you budget those spoons across tasks so your daily plan reflects real capacity rather than an optimistic to-do list.

Who is SpoonDo for?

SpoonDo is for anyone who needs chronic illness energy tracking, fatigue-aware daily planning, or an ADHD burnout task manager that feels calmer and more realistic than a standard productivity app. If time-blocking alone does not solve the problem — because your real limit is energy, symptoms, or recovery — SpoonDo is built for you.

Is SpoonDo available on Android?

SpoonDo is currently available on iPhone and iPad through the App Store. Android support is not available at this time.
