Spoonwise

The chronic illness life-admin planner, for people whose meals depend on how much energy they have today.

Most meal planners assume you can cook every day. Spoonwise starts from your energy instead. You set today's "spoons", give tasks like batch-cooking or a grocery run a cost, and see what fits before you overdo it. Its Flare Day Plan keeps a list of no-cook foods ready for bad days, and it also tracks meds, appointments, symptoms and paperwork in the same place.

  • Plan cooking and shopping around a daily energy budget
  • Flare Day Plan with easy no-cook food you choose in advance
  • Check-ins for energy, pain, fog and sleep, so you can spot what eating patterns help
  • Interactive app plus a 14-page printable PDF
