Detailed answers below ↓

What is the Spoons app?

Spoons is an energy tracking app built by an autistic adult 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 (I never see your data)

- Shows your past 14 days in-app (for quick pattern

 checking)

- Exports your complete history to CSV (every entry you've

 ever logged, not just 14 days)

What it does NOT do:

- No social features

- No gamification or achievements

- No motivational notifications

- No accounts

- No data sharing with third parties

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.

Already in burnout? Tracking still helps. You'll see what's draining you most — and what helps you recover, even slightly.

‍

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 attached, just your patterns.

Whether formally diagnosed, self-identified, or still figuring it out.

I'm autistic. I built this because I needed it to see what was constantly draining me and nothing else existed that could help me after being in burnout for 5+ years.

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.

You can log as many times per day as you want or need to.

‍

‍

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.

‍

Just log whenever you notice your energy fluncuating throughout the day, or just as a reference point.

‍

Using any app during a meltdown or shutdown is obviously difficult — sometimes impossible. Log after, whenever your able to. The timestamp shows when you recovered enough to open your phone. That gap is data too.

‍

‍

What happens if I track for months or years?

You build a recovery record. If you've been in burnout for years from constant masking or sensory overload, tracking over time shows how long recovery actually takes — not how long you think it should take.

It also tracks the inevitable exhausting days you have to tank. An unexpected meeting. A noise you can't block. Wearing earplugs all day but eventually having to take them off due to pressure fatigue. Those days happen. Tracking shows what your energy looks like days later — even when the exhaustion is still significant.

The longer you track, the more you can see: what drains you most, how long recovery takes, and whether anything is actually changing.

‍

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.

How private is my data?

Your energy logs stay on your device. I can't see your entries. No ads. No trackers.

Note: If you enable iCloud or Google device backups, your logs may be included. See our Privacy Policy.

‍

Do you use cookies?

The site uses one required Cloudflare security cookie to keep the website reliable and block abuse. No marketing or tracking cookies.

‍

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 and to restore purchases if a current subscription is active.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Scroll down to the bottom, tap "Export All Data" → CSV file downloads. Works anytime—even after your trial ends. For your records, to share, or for your own analysis. No lock-in.

When you export, pulling up your CSV such as on Google Sheets for example will list Date, Time, and Energy. Every entry you've logged since you started using Spoons will be listed here.

‍

Can I import my data?

Yes. Tap the settings icon → Click "Import Data" → Select your CSV file.

This works if you:

  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the app
  • Got a new phone
  • Want to restore from a backup you saved

Your history comes back exactly as it was. No account needed. No cloud sync. Just a file you control.

Recommended: Export regularly (monthly or before switching to a new device) so you always have a backup.

‍

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.

‍

What happens after the trial?

After trial ends OR if you cancel:

✓ View all your past entries

✓ Export & import your data anytime (CSV, no restrictions, forever)

✓ 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 (Either importing previous data or keeping app installed.)

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

‍

What if Spoons shuts down?

Your data stays on your device forever. There are no servers. The app works completely offline — it literally cannot send your data anywhere because there's nothing to send it to.

If Spoons ever closes: 90 days notice, full refunds for unused subscription time, and the app code gets released publicly so the community can maintain it.

Your logs can't disappear from a shutdown because they were never anywhere but your phone.

‍

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.

‍

Will you offer regional pricing?

Yes - available at launch for 37+ 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 (~$5.50)

Why?

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

Check your price:

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

‍

‍

Why a subscription instead of one-time purchase?

Two reasons:

1. The app stays simple

One-time purchases create pressure to add paid features, ad's or release "Spoons 2.0." (Aka, clutter and features that don't really matter) Subscription means I can keep saying no to feature requests forever.

2. The mission scales

40% of after-tax income goes toward diagnosis funding. Subscriptions create sustained revenue that grows over time. One-time purchases would generate a fraction of the impact as well as making survivability of Spoons as a business very unpredictable.

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

Where does my subscription money go?

Approximately:

  • 33% → Platform fees (Apple/Google) + taxes
  • 40% of what's left → Diagnosis funding
  • 27% of what's left → Founder sustainability + maintenance

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

‍

Exact percentages may vary slightly — Apple and Google take different platform fees, and tax rates differ by country.

The 40% allocation may increase over time if Spoons as a business continues to grow income-wise and possibly even overperforms.

Alternatively, if Spoons underperforms, the 40% allocation may be temporarily reduced during genuine financial hardship — but never quietly.

I'll publicly disclose that a reduction happened, why, and when I expect to resume. This isn't an escape hatch. It exists because if I end up not being able to afford to live and properly maintain this system, how am I gonna fund any diagnosis in the first place?

‍

‍

What devices does it work on?

Tested on: iPhone 12 and newer, Galaxy S24

The app is lightweight with no heavy graphics or processing. If your phone runs iOS 15+ or Android 10+, it should work. I plan to test with more devices in the future, including tablets, to ensure everything works smoothly while also respecting your energy but not forcing you to message me.

‍

Does it drain battery?

Designed to be lightweight—no GPS, vibrations, notifications or sensor polling. It barely uses any battery life.

‍

Will you add more features?

No. Spoons stays simple—one slider, that's it. 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 operating at low 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.

‍

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 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.

40% of after-tax income 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):

  • Partner organizations identify adults who need an evaluation but can’t afford it.
  • Partners vet based on financial need.
  • Spoons pays clinics directly whenever possible (no cash to individuals).
  • Adults receive their evaluation.

Why no direct applications?

‍
To reduce fraud and make sure the money reaches real evaluations. Partnership announcements will be shared as they’re finalized.

‍

What do diagnosis recipients get?

Adults who receive a funded diagnosis get lifetime access to Spoons.

You'll receive a permanent access code after your diagnosis is confirmed. Enter it once in the app settings. It works on any device, forever.

Keep your code somewhere safe. We can't recover lost codes.

‍

Countries where diagnosis costs are lower are priorities — the same funding goes further and has more of a global impact on those of us who don't live in the United States.

Why should I trust this commitment?

Fair question. Here's why this is real:

  • Structure: 40% of after-tax income 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 and is taking 4-months long and even over a year in some case. This is clearly unfair and I feel Spoons can meaningfully help with this obvious gap.

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 and call me out for it.

When does it launch?

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

‍

Do you offer vouchers or promo codes?

Spoons doesn’t use promo codes or vouchers. Instead, I keep pricing fair by using regional pricing and dedicating part of every subscription (40% of after-tax income) to diagnosis funding. That way, everyone gets access without having to ask for discounts.

‍

Accessibility

Designed with WCAG 2.2 AAA principles in mind—the highest accessibility standard. This includes 7:1+ contrast ratios, full VoiceOver and TalkBack support, reduced motion settings, large touch targets, and text that scales with your device settings.

It makes the most sense to have accessibility baked into the interface by default rather than adding unnecessary clutter in an app made to be intentionally simple in the first place.
