RecoverE Timer

Rest at regular intervals and gradually rebuild your reserves RecoverE is a simple tool for people experiencing persistent fatigue, for example while recovering from cancer or COVID, following prolonged overexertion, or while living with a chronic condition. How RecoverE works RecoverE makes it easier to follow the ‘Building Your Reserves’ method, developed by Annemarieke Fleming and published in her book “Je vermoeidheid te lijf”. Instead of waiting until your fatigue increases significantly before resting, the method encourages you to rest at predetermined times. You indicate how long you can remain active before becoming tired. RecoverE creates a schedule tailored to you, alternating periods of activity and rest. With a clear timer and customisable alarms, the app helps you rest at the right time and gradually rebuild your reserves. Why rest at regular intervals? When you only rest once you feel extremely tired, fatigue and rest can become increasingly linked. By resting at fixed intervals, regardless of how tired you feel at that moment, you aim to break this pattern. This allows you to work gradually towards greater stamina and more energy.

She wanted to try the Building Up Reserves method but found it difficult to keep track of her fatigue and continually set new alarms. The app supports her with a simple timer and clear, accessible statistics. This helps her gradually rebuild her reserves. The app supported her so well that we now want to make it available to others too. RecoverE is free to use.
