Our mission
Productivity tools assume unlimited energy. Most people don't have it.
Every mainstream to-do app measures success the same way: how many tasks did you complete today? It's a framework built on the assumption that your capacity is fixed and reliable — that if you organize well enough, you can do it all.
For millions of people, that assumption is wrong. Chronic illness, fatigue, pain, and mental health conditions mean that capacity isn't a constant — it's something you have to read, protect, and plan around every single day.
We built InPace on a different premise. Your energy is the constraint, not only your schedule. Planning should start there.
Who InPace is for
Feel guilty when you don't finish your list? We built this for you.
InPace is for people living with conditions that affect energy — fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, lupus, MS, POTS, depression, long COVID, and many others. It's for people who have good days and bad days, and need a system that understands the difference.
It's also for anyone who has ever felt like they were failing at productivity, when really the tools just weren't designed for how they actually live.
InPace uses Spoon Theory — the idea that energy is a finite, manageable resource — as its foundation. You tell InPace how much you have. InPace helps you figure out what's realistic.
A note from the founder
I built InPace for me, but I saw others could use it too.
I was tired. I had long days at work. I wanted to do things after work, but I didn't have the energy. I discovered Spoon Theory and started applying it. It changed the way I managed my work and life tasks. It balanced me.
I built InPace for myself to visually see where I would spend my energy each day. Yes, I put a lot of it towards the daily work grind, but the visualization helped me pace myself so I could have some energy left in my tank for after-work activities. I was also more aware that I needed to replenish my energy through healthy behaviors like short walks, casual water-cooler chats, or my morning exercise routine.
I saw that people with chronic health conditions, those with routine-driven schedules, and simply people with busy lives could also benefit from what I've built. If it helped me, others may benefit as well. I hope it does. Drop me a line if you want to share your thoughts - jad at inpace dot app.
