Stop managing tasks. Start playing them. You have an hour free. You want to be productive. You open your to-do list... and you freeze. There are too many options, too many overdue dates, and too much noise. Instead of picking a task, you waste energy just staring at the list, trying to decide where to start. Yah.Nah. solves this by turning your Apple Reminders into a high-speed sorting game. It helps you build a realistic plan based exactly on the time you have available right now. REDUCE DECISION FATIGUE Standard to-do lists can be overwhelming because they show you everything at once. Yah.Nah. shows you one thing at a time. It forces a simple, binary choice: Do it now (Yah) or skip it for later (Nah). By separating the decision from the execution, you stop overthinking and start doing. WORK WITH THE TIME YOU HAVE Most apps ask "What do you need to do?" We ask "How much time do you have?" Whether you have 30 minutes or a few hours, the app helps you curate a specific stack of tasks that fits your current capacity, so you don't overcommit. BREAK THE PARALYSIS We all have those big, vague tasks like "Clean the apartment" that sit on our lists for months. With the "Chop" feature, you can instantly break those giants down into bite-sized steps that actually fit into your schedule. YOUR DATA, YOUR TOOLS Yah.Nah. is a powerful client for the Apple Reminders app you already use. There is no new ecosystem to migrate to. Everything syncs instantly. We just make the experience tactile, focused, and effective. WHAT IT DOES FOR YOU: • Filters your list based on how much time you have available • Helps you focus by showing only one card at a time • Prevents burnout by setting realistic session limits • Turns the chore of planning into a satisfying, tactile game You don't need another place to write down tasks. You need a way to actually start them. Download Yah.Nah. and get your momentum back. --- TRANSPARENCY: This app does not collect, track, or share your personal data. It functions strictly as a client for your on-device Apple Reminders database.

Plan your day around the energy you actually have — not the energy you wish you had. Spoons is an energy-aware task planner built around Spoon Theory. Set your capacity for the day, give each task an energy cost, and see what you can realistically take on before you've overcommitted. Spoon theory was named by Christine Miserandino, who used a handful of spoons to explain to a friend what living with lupus felt like. The idea is simple: every task costs energy, and you only have so much to spend each day. Spoons turns that idea into a practical planner. HOW IT WORKS Each morning, tell Spoons how many spoons you have today. Rate tasks from 1 to 5 based on how much energy they take, then decide where they belong: • Today • Tomorrow • Next Day • Soon • Someday • On Hold Each bucket has a spoon cap, so you can see how much of your available energy you've committed. If you're taking on too much, Spoons gently pushes back — rebalance your day, or consciously decide that today is a bigger day than usual. Anything you don't finish rolls forward automatically. No guilt. No streaks. No shame. WHY SPOONS IS DIFFERENT • Plan around energy, not just time. See what you can realistically fit into the capacity you have today. • You stay in control. Place tasks where you want them. No algorithm decides what your day should look like. • See your limits before you hit them. Spoon caps show how full your day is. • Unfinished tasks roll forward instead of becoming another thing to feel guilty about. • Built for low-energy days. Low Energy Mode hides everything that isn't Critical or High priority when you need to simplify your day. • Projects, tags, due dates, and priorities give you the fundamentals of a task manager — without the pressure. • Light and dark themes follow your system settings. FREE FOREVER The full task manager is free. You don't need an account to use Spoons, and your tasks are stored locally on your device. There is no paywall blocking the core task-planning experience. Use Spoons for as long as you want without paying for Premium. PREMIUM When you're ready for more: • Cloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and soon the web • Recurring tasks — daily, weekly, monthly, or every X days • Full-text search across tasks, notes, and tags • Completion statistics and a yearly heatmap to see your patterns • Quick-add bar — add a task without opening a detail screen Premium is $3.99/month or $29.99/year and includes a 7-day free trial. WHO IS SPOONS FOR? • People living with chronic illness, fatigue, or pain conditions • People with ADHD who need a smaller, more realistic to-do list • Anyone recovering from burnout • Anyone who regularly plans more than they can realistically accomplish • Anyone who's tired of ending the day feeling like they "didn't do enough" Your energy isn't unlimited. Your planner shouldn't pretend that it is. PRIVACY Free users never need to sign in, and your tasks stay on your device. Spoons collects basic, anonymous usage analytics — such as app opens, daily check-ins, and task activity — tied to a private device ID rather than your name or email. This helps us understand whether Spoons is helping people and improve the app. There is no advertising, third-party analytics SDKs, ad tracking, or data brokerage. Premium cloud sync is opt-in and runs through Supabase. Subscriptions are managed through RevenueCat and Apple, which receive your purchase and subscription status. We don't sell your data. Spoons is inspired by Christine Miserandino's essay at butyoudontlooksick.com. Spoon theory belongs to the community; this app is a love letter to it. Subscription terms: Spoons Premium automatically renews until cancelled. Manage or cancel through your Apple ID subscription settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; existing paid periods are not refunded. The free trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends.
