Created by Christine Miserandino, Spoon Theory describes the limited energy reserves of living with chronic fatigue and pain.
Healthy people wake up with an unlimited drawer of spoons. They can spend them freely on working, exercising, and socializing.
As a Spoonie, you start your day with a fixed, limited set of spoons—sometimes only 10 or 15. Every single action costs a spoon: showering (2 spoons), cooking a meal (3 spoons), or reading a text (1 spoon).
If you run out of spoons, you exceed your energy threshold and push your body into a crash or flare. Pace helps you visually budget these spoons so you can take control of your day.
Pace is built specifically for Spoonies—individuals navigating life with energy-limiting chronic conditions. We help you manage the daily struggles that standard fitness apps ignore.
If you live with M.E./CFS, Fibromyalgia, Long Covid, POTS, or other fatigue-inducing conditions, you know that your energy doesn't follow a normal schedule. Pace is designed to support you through the daily challenges of invisible illness:
Avoid the trap of overexertion on good days that leads to delayed symptom flares (Post-Exertional Malaise). Pace helps you spot when you are exceeding your limits.
Traditional apps push you to hit step counts or active minutes. Pace focuses entirely on pacing, validating that rest is a necessary and productive choice.
When you are experiencing severe brain fog, visual fatigue, or a post-exertional crash, standard health apps are too overwhelming to use.
Pace is designed to minimize cognitive load. Simple interfaces, clear layouts, and the Three-Tap Rule make logging your day effortless, requiring zero typing and very little physical or mental energy. It also features typography optimization, including support for Atkinson Hyperlegible to improve readability.
