Doctor report

The report your doctor gets

An at-a-glance box, questions for the visit, every crash with its length and the energy used on the 3 days before, a week-by-week count of days out and about, mostly home, housebound and bedbound, energy by day, morning check-ins, sleep and optional counters. Save it as a PDF, print it, or send it by email or text.

Made from sample data. Your report is made on your phone and shared only when you choose.

Features

Everything included in the $4.99 unlock.

  • Your energy budget

    Spoons, energy points or a battery percent. You choose the number; a one-tap morning check-in sets today's budget.

  • Plan the day

    Everyday activities with costs you can change. The energy jar says it plainly: "Planned 9 of 12 spoons. 3 left."

  • Log what happened

    Done, Skip or Tomorrow, "It took more" or "It took less", and Undo for a few seconds after every tap.

  • A crash in one tap

    The "I'm crashing" button is on every screen. Details can wait. Crash days get a very quiet screen with four big buttons.

  • The Pacing Report

    A clear PDF for your doctor or for disability or work paperwork: crashes, energy used, housebound and bedbound days, in plain numbers.

  • How today is

    A short, kind note for a partner, parent or friend, ready to send in one tap.

  • Made for tired brains

    Dim, soft colors, big buttons, few words. No streaks, badges or scores.

  • Private by design

    Works offline. Nothing measured, nothing sent anywhere. Optional app lock and a backup file you keep yourself.

Questions

Is it a subscription?

No. Pacewell is free to download and every feature works for 7 days. After that, one $4.99 in-app purchase unlocks it for good. There is no subscription and no ads. If you don't buy it, everything you logged stays readable, the crash log and reminders keep working, and you can still back up and export.

Does it need a wearable or a heart rate monitor?

No. Pacewell never measures anything. You choose your numbers and log what you did; the app counts and shows them.

How many spoons should I have?

Pacewell never says. You set your own usual budget, and you can change it anytime. Talk with your clinician about pacing.

Does it predict crashes?

No. It shows your own numbers in plain words, like the energy you used on the days before a crash, and leaves the conclusions to you and your clinician.

Where is my data stored?

Only on your phone, inside the app, kept out of iCloud and Google cloud backups. There is no account and no cloud sync, and nothing you enter is sent to us or to anyone else.

Can my partner see how I'm doing?

Send them the "How today is" note from Share or Today by text or email. Nothing syncs between phones.

How do I move to a new phone?

On the old phone, open Settings and tap Make a backup, then save the file somewhere you can reach from the new phone. On the new phone, install Pacewell and tap Restore a backup on the first screen. Restoring replaces everything on the new phone.

How do I get help?
