  • Simple, beautiful and easy to use design.
  • The app allows you to configure the starting time and the duration of your fasting window. The starting time can be any time of the day from 12:00 am to 12:00 pm, in half hour increments only, for example 12:00 am, 12:30 am, 1:00 am etc. The fasting durations (in hours) supported range from 12 to 23 hours.

  • On Apple Watch, the app supports all of the following complication types – Modular Small, Modular Large, Utilitarian Small, Utilitarian Small Flat, Utilitarian Large, Circular Small, Extra Large, Graphic Corner, Graphic Circular, Graphic Bezel and Graphic Rectangular. Complications with less screen real estate shows only the current diet window type (“F” for fasting window, “E” for eating window and “OFF” when diet is disabled). Those with more screen area display the remaining time as well. In Graphic complications only, a progress bar or ring would be present. Other complications may have a full circular border around them, but it does not change or indicate progress.
  • The app sends one notification each to notify the start of fasting window and eating window. If you are using the app on Apple Watch, notifications may appear on your iPhone or Apple Watch depending on various factors like lock/sleep states of the devices, notification settings etc. Also for your Apple Watch to receive notifications, it should be paired and connected to your iPhone.
  • By default, the app uses the color red to indicate fasting window and green to indicate eating window. If you prefer to swap the colors you can do so by double tapping on the progress bar on iPhone or Apple Watch when the diet is enabled.
  • No sign-in or account needed to use the app.
  • There are no ads or unnecessary pop ups.
