Metered: Energy Planner

Plan tomorrow before the crash. Morning Signal, Apple Watch pacing, Quick Needs for carers, and Metered+ lifetime unlock with no subscription.

Plan your spoons before the crash.

Metered is a privacy-first energy planner for people with chronic illness, fatigue, pain, PEM, and limited capacity. Use a spoon-style budget to build today and tomorrow around your real energy, see when a plan is too heavy, and learn what activities cost you over time.

Everyday planning is free. Metered+ is lifetime, one-time, and no subscription. No account, analytics, tracking, or servers.

PLAN BEFORE YOU SPEND Other apps tell you what happened yesterday. Metered helps you decide what you can do today and tomorrow.

Add activities, see your remaining spoons, and know whether the doctor visit plus grocery run is one thing too many.

MORNING SIGNAL Metered+ reads overnight heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, and sleep from Apple Health, compares them with your own baseline, and shows a simple signal: Strong, Steady, Caution, or Low.

If your body data looks different from your usual pattern, Metered may help you choose a lighter day before you overdo it.

APPLE WATCH PACING Check your budget, complete activities, see heart-rate pacing, and send Quick Needs from your wrist.

Widgets keep remaining spoons visible without opening the app. Metered+ adds Live Activities for a persistent Lock Screen budget.

QUICK NEEDS FOR CARERS Send a short signal such as "need quiet", "bring water", or "no questions right now" to your carer in one tap.

Quick Needs works from iPhone, Apple Watch, widgets, and Siri, and pairs with Supported, the free companion app for carers.

BUILT FOR COMPLEX ENERGY Metered supports ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, Long COVID, POTS, EDS, MS, lupus, chronic pain, cancer fatigue, PMDD, endometriosis, IBD, caregiver burnout, and more.

Setup tailors your budget, activities, symptoms, and recovery settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. Your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. Metered reads Apple Health only with your permission and does not write health data back. Analyses run on device using your own plans, self-reported outcomes, and optional health data.

Rest is allowed to count.
