Imagine you measure the minimal energy you can spend during the day in spoons. Let's say you have some mental challenges and therefore the energy amount you have available during the day corresponds to 12 spoons. Getting out of bed consumes one of your spoons. Breakfast takes another spoon from your available daily amount. You have to ration your spoons. This is where this app comes in. This app helps you to keep an overview over your available spoons. It's simple, private and easy to use.
