Meet yourself where you're at
FunctionalMe helps you track your patterns, understand your needs, and create structure that works in real life. No judgment. No pressure. Just tools that help you stay steady and move forward.
Work with yourself, not against yourself
FunctionalMe gives you a simple, low pressure way to notice your energy, mood, and the stress and success signals that shape what you can realistically handle in a given moment. The app helps you understand your capacity throughout the day and choose how to move forward: adjusting your expectations or taking time to care for yourself.
The goal isn’t to force productivity or make you follow a strict routine. FunctionalMe helps you understand your patterns so you can make choices that support what you actually need.
Built for brains that are wired differently
Flexible focus support
People with ADHD often have shifting attention and unpredictable energy. FunctionalMe gives them structure that adapts to the way their focus actually works.
Steady support for surviving trauma
Complex trauma comes with shutdowns, overwhelm, and inconsistent capacity. FunctionalMe helps you understand what’s happening without pressure.
Tools that work with chronic illness
Chronic illness changes your capacity hour to hour. FunctionalMe reshapes routines around your body instead of demanding consistency.
Sensory-friendly routines
Wherever you may fall on the autism spectrum, routines that respond to sensory load, emotional intensity, and capacity changes. FunctionalMe adjusts without forcing strict schedules.
Gentle structure for heavy days
Dealing with depression or anxiety often makes it a struggle just to start. FunctionalMe supports the pace you can manage without guilt or shame.
Low-demand design for cognitive fatigue
When you’re recovering from brain injury you often need simple, predictable tools. FunctionalMe stays easy to return to without creating extra load.
Systems that fit neurodivergent minds
Neurodivergent people rarely fit rigid planners or timers. FunctionalMe bends around your real capacity instead of expecting you to fit a model.
Structure that shifts with you
The app learns your signals
You check in with your energy, mood, and how your body feels. FunctionalMe uses that information to understand what you can realistically manage.
Your own insight guides you
You set your own warning signs and build the tools that you know help you stay grounded. When FunctionalMe notices the patterns you identified, it brings forward the support you already chose.
Self care anchored to routine
You don’t need to be consistent for the app to work for you. Your routines are event-driven so that you don’t have to do more work to figure out how to adapt your tasks when you’re running behind or time blind.
Your day reshapes around you
Your tasks, schedule, and routines adjust automatically around your capacity. On steady days you can tackle more, and on harder days you’ll take it easier on yourself.

Frequently asked questions
What is FunctionalMe?
FunctionalMe is a self-regulation and capacity-tracking app designed for people with neurodivergence, chronic illness, trauma histories, and anyone who struggles with executive functioning. It helps you understand your patterns and adjust your day without pressure or judgment.
Who is FunctionalMe for?
Anyone who struggles with executive functioning and deals with inconsistent energy, fluctuating focus, chronic symptoms, or difficulty managing daily routines. Many of our early users are living with ADHD, autism, chronic illness, trauma, depression, anxiety, or brain injury.
How does the app learn about my patterns?
FunctionalMe learns your signals through the things you tell it matter. During setup, you choose the cues that show up when you’re getting tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or stretched thin. You also add the signs that tell you when you’re doing well or feeling steady.
As you check in, the app notices patterns in what you report: your energy, mood, pain, focus, and the shifts you experience throughout your day. Over time, it starts recognizing the combinations that mean “I’m struggling,” “I’m doing okay,” or “I have a little more room today.”
The app doesn’t guess what’s happening to you. It follows the signals you defined, and reflects them back in a way that helps you make decisions without pressure. Over time, machine learning will enable the app to figure out deeper patterns.
How does the app measure capacity?
Capacity is measured using a mix of the inputs you give the app. Each check-in includes things like energy, mood, pain, focus, sleep, and how steady or overwhelmed you feel. You can add other custom cues too, like sensory load or brain fog.
FunctionalMe pulls those together into a simple capacity level. It’s not a medical score. It’s a quick snapshot of how much you can realistically handle right now based on your own signals.
Your routines, tasks, and self-care tools then shift around that capacity level so you don’t have to spend mental energy figuring out what to do next. Over time, the app learns what you're able to achieve when you're at specific capacity levels.
Can this app treat my conditions?
No. This app is not designed to treat any condition. There are some conditions that could be made worse by using this app. That's why we're going through extensive testing and research before making the app widely available. We want to make sure we're providing a safe, supportive tool for our users to learn more about themselves and have a better picture of their capacity.
The app and its features do not constitute treatment or medical advice of any kind.
Does the app use AI chatbots?
No.
FunctionalMe will never use an AI chatbot because we do not believe automated conversations can replace human understanding. When someone is overwhelmed or struggling, real connection matters. Friends, partners, providers, and community resources offer care, nuance, and accountability that a chatbot cannot.
There is also growing concern in psychology and mental health research about the use of AI chatbots for emotional support. Professional groups like the American Psychological Association (APA) have warned that these tools can give misleading reassurance, create false confidence, reinforce harmful patterns, or respond unpredictably in sensitive situations. Many researchers argue that chatbots may increase distress rather than reduce it, especially for trauma survivors or people who feel isolated.
Our goal is the opposite of isolation. FunctionalMe is built to help you understand your own patterns so you can communicate more clearly with the people who support you. The app provides insight, not advice. It helps you show up to conversations with more clarity, not rely on AI as a substitute for human connection or professional care.
Does the app provide crisis support?
FunctionalMe does not currently offer crisis support and should not be used as an emergency tool. The app does not monitor for crisis or provide real-time intervention. If someone feels unsafe or overwhelmed, the most effective support always comes from real people and real services, not an app.
Some future features, like the warning sign system, may eventually help users notice early shifts in their capacity. This work is experimental and still evolving. The goal is not to diagnose or predict crisis, but to help users recognize patterns they may want to bring to a trusted person or provider. Any insights the app generates will always be informational and never a substitute for safety planning, crisis services, or human care.
FunctionalMe is designed to help you stay aware of your capacity and your patterns, not to handle emergencies. If you are in crisis or feel like you might be, please reach out to local emergency services, a crisis line, or someone who can support you directly.
When will the app be available?
We’re currently in active development and hoping to have a stable app ready for the general public by spring of 2026. Alpha testing begins at the beginning of December 2025, followed by a wider beta phase. Joining the waitlist is the best way to stay informed.
Is the app free?
During alpha and beta testing, yes. Long-term pricing has not been finalized, but our priority is keeping FunctionalMe accessible to everyone who needs it regardless of financial barriers, including sliding scale options and donor-supported access.
You can help make the app accessible for others by donating.
What platforms does the app work on?
The app is available for Android and iOS users with a Google account during alpha testing. Users with Apple and Microsoft accounts will be able to participate in beta testing. When FunctionalMe is officially released, it with be available for download on the Apple Store and Google Play.
How is my data protected?
Your information is encrypted, never sold, and never used for advertising. You control what you share, what stays private, and what gets deleted. Sensitive data stays inside the app unless you choose to export it. View our app's privacy policy and terms and conditions for more information.
Can I keep or delete my data?
FunctionalMe helps you collect and analyze the data other apps are already using to target advertising at you. We just make it easy for you to acces that data in a way that's meaningful for you. Your data belongs to you, not to us. You can export your data for any reason at any time you want.
You can also delete your data at any time. Deleted accounts go through a brief recovery window in case you change your mind, unless you opt out of that safety period.
