Long COVID Pacer

Long COVID Pacer is a pacing app built for people who actually need to pace — Long COVID patients, spoonies with ME/CFS, POTS, fibromyalgia, and other energy-limiting conditions. No streaks. No badges. No fitness aesthetic. Just honest tools for staying within your envelope. THE ENERGY TIDE Each morning, rate how you feel (1–10). Pacer sets your daily energy budget and shows you a tide that rises as you spend energy through the day. When you're at 60%, you see it. When a meal prep would push you to 95%, you know before you start. ONE-TAP ACTIVITY LOGGING Pre-loaded tiles for the activities that actually matter — shower, cook, errand, video call, short walk. Each carries an energy cost you can tune. Logging a full day takes under two minutes. NEW: APPLE WATCH COMPANION (Plus) A standard ME/CFS pacing technique: stay below your anaerobic threshold. Set your BPM number. Your Watch monitors your heart rate continuously and gives a gentle wrist tap the moment you cross it — and you can log an activity or a crash straight from your wrist. NEW: ON-DEVICE AI DEEP INSIGHTS (Plus / Pro) Powered by Apple Intelligence, entirely on your phone. The AI writes your weekly review in plain, believing language, tags your journal automatically, and — new — correlates your Apple Health data: "Your worst-energy mornings followed nights under 6 hours of sleep." No guessing. No self-blame. Nothing leaves your device. NEW: TRENDS & ANALYTICS (Pro) A calm, low-contrast dashboard of your energy over time, budget adherence, crash clustering, sleep-vs-energy, and HRV trends — with week-over-week and month-over-month deltas. Export any range as a PDF or CSV. NEW: LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITY (Plus) Keep the tide on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and watch your envelope fill through the day in a Live Activity. Glanceable pacing, no app-opening required. NEW: PRIVATE iCLOUD SYNC (Pro) Your history follows you across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch and survives device upgrades — stored in your own private iCloud. No account, no server. NEW: GENTLE PACING REMINDERS (Plus) The only notifications this audience tolerates: a quiet, opt-in morning check-in nudge at a time you choose. No urgency. No streaks. Soft by design. CRASH LOGGER When PEM hits, log it. The app looks at the previous 48 hours and surfaces likely culprits. The crash screen is its own design space — warm tones, no exclamation marks, no judgment. SPOONIE DIARY Text or voice journal entries (transcribed on-device) tagged automatically — brain fog, joint pain, good day, social drain — without you lifting a finger to label anything. DOCTOR REPORTS (Plus / Pro) Generate a clean 30/60/90-day PDF for your next appointment. The AI adjusts framing by specialty — cardiology focuses on POTS and HRV, neurology on cognitive symptoms, rheumatology on pain patterns. Pro adds CSV export and unlimited ranges. WHAT PACER DOES NOT DO No gamification. No streaks. No "you've been so active!" No push notifications urging you to do more. No wellness-washing. No green smoothies. This audience has been gaslit by medicine for years; the app does the opposite. PRIVACY All data stays on your device, or in your own private iCloud if you turn on sync.
