Smart task matching
Tasks are matched to your actual energy right now — not what you wish you had. Low energy day? Only the right tasks appear.
Prevents overcommitting
Draining tasks are hidden until you genuinely have the capacity. Pembleton keeps you from saying yes when you shouldn’t.
Recovery tracking
Log healing activities — a nap, meditation, coffee — and watch your energy levels restore in real time.
Morning check-in
Each morning, Pembleton asks how you slept and how you feel. The AI reads your answers and sets your energy levels automatically.
Physical
Your body’s capacity for physical effort right now.
e.g. Shower, walk, cooking, cleaning
Enthusiasm
Your mood, motivation and social energy.
e.g. Social calls, creative work, music
Mental
Your cognitive capacity for thinking and decisions.
e.g. Bills, admin, emails, planning
Each task is tagged with its strain type — P, E, M, or All. Pembleton only shows you a task when that specific dimension has enough capacity. High P but low M? Your bills stay hidden, but your walk is right there.
PEM also stands for Post-Exertional Malaise — the hallmark symptom of ME/CFS where activity causes a delayed crash. Pembleton was built with this in mind.
A task can also be marked Essential — meaning it must happen regardless of energy. It always shows, but its cost still applies when completed. Your flight home from Cape Verde: Essential ✓, Draining, All.
