About Untire

The Untire self-help app provides a step-by-step guide to help you and your family and friends beat cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Whether you're a living with cancer or are survivor, the programme can help you regain energy.

How Can Untire Help?

Untire provides a step-by-step programme to help reduce cancer-related fatigue and address the things that may be causing it. The app uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques and physical exercise to help you manage fatigue. It is self-guided, so you can decide in which order and at what pace you want to do the programme.

Untire is suitable for anyone who has been diagnosed with or is recovering from cancer, their family, friends and caregivers.

Untire was developed by Tired of Cancer, a Dutch social enterprise. The service is approved by the NHS and featured in the NHS Apps Library. 

The Untire app is only available through an invitation code. The Untire app team is working to establish partnerships with hospitals, cancer care centres and organisations throughout the UK so more people can access Untire free of charge. Ask your healthcare provider or cancer care team for more information about accessing the Untire app.

What people say about Untire - Cancer Sleep Programme

This really a very high quality cancer survivor life coaching tool. I wish I had this earlier. It would have made my life after cancer a lot easier.

Stevet

“I found out about the Untire app and can honestly say I cried. Everything I’d been feeling finally made sense! The app guided me through ways of pacing myself, maintaining my energy levels and managing my low mood. I still feel fatigue, but I feel far more in control. I wish that cancer fatigue was more widely known, especially by the medical profession, but thanks to Untire, I finally feel like ‘me’ again – a very different me to how I was before I had cancer, but definitely a stronger version of myself.

I started using the Untire app after my treatment, as I was still feeling wiped out and weak. While ill, I used it every day when possible, even if just to switch on and read one tip. When getting stronger, the exercises help me with mobility, motivation and recovery. It is very much about finding your own truth about what’s happening. Untire helped me feel normal, sane, weak yes but still alive and kicking.
