Manage your daily energy with the spoon theory! Each spoon represents a unit of energy you can spend or regain throughout the day by logging an activity. Log activities, plan ahead, and track your energy using clear timeline and history views. Especially helpful for neurodiverse users (for instance people with ADHD or autism) but the app is designed for anyone who wants a simple, practical way to manage their energy levels. Your data is synced between your devices. The app is private by design. No personal data is shared, only anonymous analytics and crash reporting.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spoons at none against Basic Fidgit's 1. Basic Fidgit's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
