Capacify is an energy budgeting app for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent people whose normal to-do list keeps lying to them. Instead of pretending every task costs the same, Capacify lets you give each task an EP cost, set today's actual capacity, and see what realistically fits. When a task feels too boring, too big, or too loaded, AI reframes it in a voice that actually gets you moving. Use Capacify to: - Set a daily energy budget - Add tasks with realistic EP costs - See only the tasks that fit your current capacity - Reframe tasks with playful, direct, cozy, chaotic, or custom voices - Build your own custom personality for nudges that sound right to you - Track patterns over time without turning your life into a productivity spreadsheet Capacify is built for ADHD and autistic brains, burnout recovery, low-energy and low-spoon days, executive dysfunction, sensory and chronic overwhelm, and any neurodivergent mind that needs a more honest way to plan. This is not a medical app, therapy app, or diagnosis tool. It is planning support with a little bite: part energy budget, part task manager, part motivational translator. Bandwidth is finite. Chores can wait. Pick what fits today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.capacify.app/terms
