Terms of service / The practical details
A few ground rules.
Spoonful is an independent project by Gabby Welson. These terms explain what to expect when you use the website, demo, and household app.
Last updated September 19, 2026
Using Spoonful
By using Spoonful, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. This early version is intended for adults who can agree to these terms. Keep your sign-in details secure, use your own account, and only join households you are authorized to access.
A little care, together
Spoonful helps people organize shared household tasks around changing energy. A capacity check-in belongs to the person making it. Do not use the app to pressure someone to disclose health information, monitor them without their knowledge, or treat their capacity as a performance score.
- Respect the privacy, consent, and rights of other people in your household.
- Do not use Spoonful for harassment, unlawful activity, or harmful content.
- Do not try to access another household, bypass security, or disrupt the service.
- Only add information you have the right to use and share.
Access may be restricted or suspended to address misuse, protect people or the service, or meet legal requirements.
Your content and your household
You keep any rights you have in the content you add. You give Spoonful permission to store, process, and show that content as needed to provide the service to you and your household. This includes keeping shared task history and making household plans and contribution summaries.
Household members can see shared tasks, notes, activity, and capacity check-ins. They can also change shared tasks. Invite people thoughtfully and agree together on what belongs in that shared space. The privacy policy explains storage, providers, and the current limits on removing household information.
A planning aid, with limits
Spoonful does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, emergency support, or dependable reminders. A task marked “essential” is a priority chosen by your household; it is not a promise that the app will remind someone or make sure the task gets done.
Suggested plans are suggestions. You decide what is appropriate for your circumstances. Keep a separate, reliable arrangement for medication, emergencies, and anything else where a missed task could cause harm.
An early project
Spoonful is provided as available. Features may change, the service may be interrupted or discontinued, and information may be lost. There is no promise of uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or suitability for a particular purpose. Keep your own copy of information you cannot afford to lose.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided without warranties. Nothing in these terms excludes legal rights, warranties, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
The demo and other services
The demo is a sample household for exploration. Use pretend information: its changes live in this browser and can disappear when browser storage is cleared. They do not become a real household when you create an account.
Sign-in, hosting, and storage depend on external providers. Links to other websites, including resources about spoon theory, take you to services with their own terms and privacy practices.
Leaving, and changes to these terms
You can stop using Spoonful at any time. Leaving a household or closing a sign-in account does not automatically delete its shared records. These terms may change as the project develops; the current version and revision date will be available on this page. Any notice or agreement required by applicable law still applies.
