New in 1.0.11: scheduled POTS checks, custom pressure alerts, and clearer Watch activity timers with optional BPM pacing alerts. Plan your spoons before the crash. Metered is a privacy-first energy planner for people with chronic illness, fatigue, pain, PEM, and limited capacity. Build today and tomorrow around a spoon-style budget, spot when a plan is too heavy, and learn what activities cost you over time. Everyday planning is free. Metered+ is lifetime, one-time, and no subscription. No account, analytics, tracking, or servers. PLAN BEFORE YOU SPEND Other apps tell you what happened yesterday. Metered helps you decide what you can do today and tomorrow. Add activities, describe your day in plain language, reuse yesterday, or save a good plan as a template for similar days. CALMER TODAY GUIDANCE Today keeps the important signals easy to scan: - remaining spoons and over-budget state - why your budget changed - recovery or carry-over from yesterday - gentle risk guidance when a plan may be too much MORNING SIGNAL Metered+ reads overnight heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, and sleep from Apple Health. HRV and resting heart rate are compared with recent personal baseline data; sleep is compared with your sleep target. The result is shown as Strong, Steady, Caution, or Low. BUDGET DISPLAYS Choose the default gauge, battery, segmented bar, number, traffic light, or water glass. Metered+ adds insight displays like Spoon Stack, Reserve Ring, Day Pace, Balance Scale, Energy Envelope, and Recovery Cushion. APPLE WATCH, WIDGETS AND QUICK NEEDS Check your budget, complete activities, send Quick Needs, and run short orthostatic checks from Apple Watch. Widgets keep remaining spoons visible without opening the app. Metered+ adds Live Activities for a persistent Lock Screen budget. BUILT FOR COMPLEX ENERGY Metered supports ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, Long COVID, POTS, EDS, MS, lupus, chronic pain, cancer fatigue, PMDD, endometriosis, IBD, caregiver burnout, and more. Track physical, cognitive, social, sensory, masking, task-switching, and recovery load so your plan reflects how energy really gets used. FREE ENERGY PLANNING Metered includes: - Unlimited activities and daily planning - Fixed daily budget and manual tracking - Day review, flare mode, and recovery days - Weekly overview and Daily Balance insight - Apple Watch, widgets, Siri Shortcuts, and Quick Needs - Apple Health integration - iCloud sync - Tended import - Searchable Help & Guide METERED+ Metered+ is a one-time lifetime purchase. No subscription. Unlock: - Personalised budget reasoning - Morning Signal and signal history - Learned and sensitivity-adjusted activity costs - Possible crash and PEM risk patterns - Energy debt and deeper trends - Premium budget insight displays - Weather, cycle, sleep, and recovery budget factors - Day templates and event planning - Activity sequencing suggestions - Live Activities - Doctor and OT reports - CSV export PREPARE FOR APPOINTMENTS Metered+ reports can help explain your energy limits, pacing patterns, activity costs, recovery days, sensitivities, symptoms, and crashes for doctors, occupational therapists, carers, or support conversations. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. Your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. Metered reads Apple Health only with your permission and does not write health data back. Analyses run on device using your own plans, self-reported outcomes, and optional health data. Rest is allowed to count. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER Spoon theory credit: Christine Miserandino (2003). Informed by ME Association, Bateman Horne Center, and Workwell Foundation.

I have been trying multiple different methods to manage energy, mood, and tasks for myself and my partner for years. I didn’t immediately try spoons because I don’t have physical chronic illness, I have bipolar and OCD. I recently decided to try it and so have been trying all the spoon apps to figure out which one works best for me. This is hands down my favorite one. I love that it works with my health apps (which I already use regularly) and helps me communicate my energy level to my partner when I’m struggling. It’s been a huge help getting over that hurdle when it’s hard to explain that I’m just too overwhelmed by my brain to talk some days. 10/10, will probably use this for as long as it’s supported.

Thank you so much for this beautiful review. I’m really glad Metered has helped you find a way to understand your energy and communicate with your partner when words are hard. If a dedicated companion view would ever be useful for you both, Supported is free and built for that. I’m so grateful you took the time to share this, and yes, Metered is very much being cared for. Thank you for making my week.

This app is a series of apps that’s helps you manage your chronic illnesses. I love this app because it helps me manage many of my autoimmune issues and the spoon theory. This shows me how many spoons I am working with at the beginning of the day and how I go over my spoons and always have crashes. It is designed to help you stay within your allotted spoons that you give yourself to try to avoid crashes. It also allows you to help with your crashes. This is one of the best apps that I have ever used. This whole series of apps is a game changer for people with chronic illnesses and many autoimmune issues.

Thank you, this is kind. Saw you also reviewed Tended. Both were built for the same person in my family who needed all of them, so it means a lot when someone uses the suite the way it was meant to work. Glad Metered is helping you stay within your spoons. Geoff
