What is the Spoons app?

Spoons is an energy tracking app designed specifically for autistic adults.

It does exactly one thing: lets you log your current energy level using a single slider (0-10). That's it.

What it does:

- Takes <8 seconds from opening app to saved entry

- Works offline (no internet required)

- Stores data only on your device (we never see your data)

- Shows your past 14 days of entries

- Exports everything to CSV (you own your data)

What it does NOT do:

- No social features

- No gamification or achievements

- No motivational notifications

- No accounts

- No data sharing with third parties

Does it work offline?

Yes, completely. All your data is stored on your device. You don't need internet except for the initial subscription purchase.

How do I actually use it?

1. Open app (~2 seconds)

2. Move slider to your current energy (0-10)

3. Release finger - automatically saves

4. Close app

Total time: Under 8 seconds

View past entries:

Swipe up to see your last 14 days of entries.

Export data:

Tap "Export All Data" button → CSV file downloads

Made a mistake? After logging, a confirmation appears with "tap to undo" to correct it.

‍

‍

Can I export my data?

Yes. Export CSV anytime — for your records, to share if you want, or for your own analysis. No lock-in.

What devices does it work on?

Tested on: iPhone 12+; Galaxy S24
More devices in testing (including older phones).
Not sure? Email your phone model to hello@getspoons.app and I’ll confirm.

Does it drain battery?

Designed to be lightweight—no GPS or sensor polling. Typical use is minimal battery impact.

‍

Why the name “Spoons”?

‍In the app, I use the word “Energy.” “Spoons” is just the name (inspired by spoon theory).

Spoon theory is a common way to describe daily energy limits

It can help you:

  • Notice patterns (what drains you, what restores you)
  • Communicate limits (“I’m low energy today” / “I’m at my limit”)

You don’t have to use the word “spoons” at all — you can think of it as a simple scale from no energy → full energy.

What's the difference between autism fatigue and regular tiredness?

Autism fatigue comes from masking, sensory processing, social translation, and executive function demands. Spoons tracks this exhaustion—the kind sleep doesn’t always fix.

Can I track shutdowns and meltdowns?

Yes. You can log energy before, during, and after to understand what leads up to shutdowns and how long recovery takes.

‍

When does it launch?

Target: April 2nd, 2026 on iOS and Android. Join the waitlist for updates regarding launch.

How much does it cost?

$7.99/month or $79.99/year. 30-day free trial. Price locks forever—it never goes up. Regional pricing for 25+ countries at launch.

‍

Where does my subscription money go?

Approximately:

  • 40% of net profits → Diagnosis funding for adults who can't afford assessments
  • 25% → Founder sustainability
  • 25% → Platform fees (Apple/Google), taxes, maintenance

Exact percentages may vary. Annual impact updates starting 2027 will show actual allocation and diagnoses funded.

‍

Why a subscription instead of one-time purchase?

Two reasons:

1. The app stays simple

One-time purchases create pressure to add paid features or release "Spoons 2.0." Subscription means I can keep saying no to feature requests forever.

2. The mission scales

40% of net profits go toward diagnosis funding. Subscriptions create sustained revenue that grows over time. One-time purchases would generate a fraction of the impact.

Your $7.99/month isn't just for the app. It's a contribution to diagnosis access for autistic adults who can't afford it.

‍

What happens after the trial?

After trial ends OR if you cancel:

✓ View all your past entries

✓ Export your data anytime (CSV, no restrictions)

✓ Keep the app installed

✓ All your logs stay on your device forever

What you CAN'T do:

✗ Log new energy entries

If you resubscribe later:

✓ All your old data is still there

✓ Same price (your rate is locked forever)

✓ Pick up right where you left off

Your data never disappears. Subscription just controls whether you can add new entries.

‍

What if I forget to cancel my trial?

Best strategy: Cancel immediately after starting trial

1. Start your 30-day trial

2. Go to App Store/Google Play → Cancel subscription

3. You keep full access for all 30 days

4. No automatic charge

5. Resubscribe on day 29 if you want to continue

Why this works: No risk of forgetting. You have to actively choose to pay, rather than actively remember to cancel.

Alternative: Set phone reminder for 2 days before trial ends.

If you do get charged: Request refund through Apple/Google within 48 hours. See Terms of Service for full process.

‍

Who is Spoons for?

Built for autistic adults by an autistic developer. If you experience autistic burnout, meltdowns, or shutdowns, this is for you—no social features, no neurotypical assumptions, just your patterns.

Will you add more features?

No. Spoons stays simple—one slider, no feature creep. I won't add mood tracking, graphs, reminders, or social features. You can swipe up to see recent entries from the past 14 days (helpful for noticing patterns), but for deeper analysis, export your data. Simplicity is the feature that makes Spoons work when you're at 0 energy.

‍

What if I need graphs or analytics?

Export your data as CSV and use whatever tools you prefer. Some users analyze in Excel, some use Google Sheets, some just want to see the raw numbers. I don't force you into one way of viewing patterns—that's why CSV export is built-in from Day 1.

‍

Will you offer regional pricing?

Yes - available at launch for 25+ countries.

How it works:

Your App Store or Google Play shows your local price before you subscribe. Prices adjust for local purchasing power.

Examples (monthly):

- United States: $7.99

- India: ₹179 (~$2.15)

- Philippines: ₱119 (~$2.10)

- Brazil: R$28 (~$7)

Why?

So autistic adults globally can afford energy tracking, not just people in rich countries.

Check your price:

Open App Store/Google Play when we launch - your exact price shows in local currency before any charge.

‍

How does Spoons help with autistic burnout?

Spoons makes burnout visible. You'll see:
‍

  • What's draining you most (even when you can't avoid it yet)
  • Warning signs at 2-3 energy (before you hit 0)
  • Recovery patterns (how long it takes to bounce back)
  • Evidence for changes you need (like job switch, accommodations, boundaries)

Tracking doesn't prevent burnout - it documents it.
Sometimes you're stuck in harmful situations. Tracking gives you data to explain why you need to escape, request accommodations, or set boundaries. It's evidence, not magic.

How private is my data?

Your logs stay on your device unless you export them. No ads. No trackers. (OS/iCloud/Google backups may include your data if you enable them.) See our Privacy Policy.

What's the long-term vision?

Phase 1 (2026): Launch app. Prove it works. Escape warehouse.

Phase 2 (Q1 2027): Launch diagnosis funding through partner organizations.

Phase 3 (2028+): Scale partnerships. Increase diagnoses funded annually.

Minimum goal: 50,000 diagnoses over 15 years Stretch goal: 100,000+

40% of net profits go toward diagnosis funding. This commitment begins at launch, with funding distribution starting Q1 2027.

Annual impact updates will show progress.

‍

How does diagnosis funding work?

Starting Q1 2027 (planned):

  1. Partner orgs identify adults who need diagnosis but can’t afford an evaluation (often ~$2,000–$2,500 in the U.S.).
  2. Partners vet candidates based on financial need.
  3. Spoons pays clinics directly whenever possible (no cash payments to individuals).
  4. Adults receive their diagnosis.

Then:

  • “You can’t apply directly yet. Funding runs through vetted partners to reduce fraud and ensure the money reaches real evaluations.”
  • “Partnership announcements will be shared as they’re finalized.”

‍

Why should I trust this commitment?

Fair question. Here's why this is real:

  • Structure: “40% of net profits is the commitment (not ‘up to’).”
  • Transparency: “Annual impact updates starting 2027 (revenue, allocation, diagnoses funded).”
  • Accountability: “Partners + clinics provide confirmation documentation where permitted.”
  • Motivation: “I was diagnosed as a kid. Many adults can’t afford an evaluation. This is personal.”
  • Sustainability: keep as-is.

    • ‍

    If I ever fail to publish annual updates or honor the 40% commitment, hold me accountable. If I miss an annual report, you should question it.
