Gentle pacing for
energy & capacity.
Paciva is a calm envelope system for people living with ME/CFS and for neurodivergent people who run out of capacity during the day. It helps you notice limits, log what matters, and protect recovery — without pressure.
Today may feel more fragile later. A short pause could protect your buffer.
Activity, rest, and “Today was quiet”.
See what changed your envelope today.
What Paciva is
A gentle pacing tool — not a productivity system, and not a medical device.
ME/CFS pacing
Stay within your envelope and reduce the risk of delayed payback by tracking what drains you and what helps.
Neurodivergent capacity
Use the same envelope idea for daily bandwidth — including optional sensory load — to avoid overload and shutdown.
Built for real days
Minimal inputs, calm language, and a Bad Day Mode that simplifies everything when needed.
Your 100 is personal. Paciva doesn’t compare you to anyone else — it uses a reference scale that belongs to you.
How it works
Simple. Transparent. Adjustable.
-
1
Choose your lens
Pick ME/CFS pacing or neurodivergent capacity. You can switch later.
-
2
Set a safe starting point
Onboarding questions help Paciva choose a more protective or more flexible interpretation — without making medical claims.
-
3
Log tiny moments
Add quick activity and rest entries. Paciva updates your remaining capacity and explains “why”.
-
4
Adjust gently over time
A simple weekly calibration helps Paciva feel more “right” for you — no fiddly numbers required.
What it includes
Designed to reduce cognitive load, not add it.
Simple Settings + Advanced Settings
The basics are easy to understand. Advanced controls are tucked away for people who want deeper tuning.
Every setting explained
Paciva explains what a setting does, when to change it, and when to leave it alone — in calm language.
Built-in FAQ & “How Paciva thinks”
Clear, lens-aware answers about baseline, remaining, overspending, work/school context, and privacy — without jargon.
Optional sensory tracking (ND)
Turn on sensory load only if you want it. If it’s off, you won’t see it anywhere.
Custom activities with guided setup
Create your own activities and use a short question flow to set a sensible starting point — always editable.
Quick log + “Today was quiet”
Log activity/rest fast, or mark a day as quiet so the app stays neutral even when you don’t log much.
Work/School as context (optional)
Work and school are treated as context, not an “activity” that drains your day. One optional toggle helps interpretation.
iOS widgets
A “Today” widget for a quick glance, and a “Quick Log” widget that jumps straight to activity/rest logging.
Bad Day Mode
Fewer decisions, fewer visuals, calmer screens. Paciva becomes simpler when you need it to.
Quiet companion graphics
Subtle abstract visuals in onboarding and empty states — designed to feel warm without being noisy.
Paciva is intentionally not goal-driven. No streaks, no targets, no “do more” energy — just support.
Why I’m building this
A small note from the person making Paciva.
Hi, I’m Fabio.
I’m a Swiss media maker and developer, and I’m neurodivergent. I build gentle systems that reduce overwhelm and help people notice what they need.
Energy isn’t infinite.
Someone very close to me was diagnosed with ME/CFS. Watching how invisible and misunderstood limited energy can be made me want a calmer tool — not to “fix”, but to notice limits before they hurt.
If you want the longer story: When energy isn’t infinite
Beta testing
If you’d like to help shape Paciva, you can join the TestFlight beta.
Join the beta
Paciva is in active development. Beta feedback helps a lot — even one small impression.

Tip: In the app, you can send feedback directly from Settings.
How TestFlight works
TestFlight is Apple’s official beta testing app. It lets you install pre-release versions safely.
-
1
Download TestFlight from the App Store.
-
2
Open the beta link above.
-
3
Install Paciva inside TestFlight.
-
4
Use it normally. If something feels off or surprisingly helpful, send feedback in-app.
Beta builds expire after a while (that’s normal). TestFlight will tell you when an update is available.
Privacy & trust
Built for people who don’t have extra energy for complicated systems.
Offline-first
Paciva is designed to work without accounts. Your data stays on your device.
No medical claims
Paciva supports pacing and self-understanding. It doesn’t diagnose, measure, or treat anything.
Export when you want
Export your entries for your own notes or to share with someone you trust.
Optional integrations later
Wearables and system data may be added later — never required.
