Spend your energy on purpose.
Pacewell is an energy pacing planner for people living with ME/CFS, long COVID, POTS, fibromyalgia and other illnesses where doing too much today means paying for it tomorrow. Plan your day inside your energy budget, log crashes in one tap, and bring a clear Pacing Report to your doctor.
No wearable. No subscription. No account.
Pay once. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
YOUR ENERGY BUDGET
Count your energy in spoons, energy points or a battery percent. You choose your usual daily budget; Pacewell never tells you what it should be. A one-tap morning check-in (Very low, Low, Okay, Good, Better than usual) sets today's budget, or keep your usual one.
PLAN THE DAY
Add activities from a library of everyday things like a shower, cooking, a phone call or an appointment, each with a cost you can change. The energy jar shows your plan in plain words: "Planned 9 of 12 spoons. 3 left." Going over is shown calmly, with no red and no warnings.
LOG WHAT HAPPENED
Tap Done, Skip or Tomorrow. Say if something took more or less than you planned. Log things you didn't plan. Undo is always there for a few seconds.
LOG A CRASH IN ONE TAP
The "I'm crashing" button is on every screen. One tap starts the log; how bad it is, symptoms and what you think set it off can wait until you feel up to it. While a crash is going on, Today becomes a very quiet screen with four big buttons: Rest, Ate something, Took meds, Note.
THE PACING REPORT
One tap makes a clear PDF on your phone for your doctor or for disability or work paperwork: days logged, average budget and energy used, crashes and how long they lasted, energy used on the days before each crash, days out and about, mostly home, housebound and bedbound, and your questions for the visit. Plain numbers from your own notes, ready to print or email.
HOW TODAY IS
Send a short, kind note to a partner, parent or friend: how much energy you have, what kind of day it is, and a line like "Texting is easier than calls." Change anything before you send it.
MADE FOR TIRED BRAINS
Dim, soft colors with a light theme for daytime. Big buttons, few words, easy-to-read type. No streaks, no badges, no scores.
ALSO
History by week and by month. Optional counters for fluids, salt, compression garments, time upright and rest breaks. Gentle reminders you choose. App lock with Face ID, fingerprint or passcode. A spreadsheet export and a backup file you keep yourself.
PAY ONCE
One price, paid once, and every feature is yours. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Works offline. Your notes stay on this phone and are kept out of iCloud Backup. Nothing is measured, nothing is sent anywhere, and there are no ads or trackers. Your notes leave the phone only when you share a report, a note or a backup yourself.
Not medical advice. Talk with your clinician about pacing.
