An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A minimalist tracker focused on visualizing the current fast and showing a calendar history. The paid retroactive-start feature (manually setting a past fast's start time) is genuinely useful for regular practitioners. The 48-hour fast cap cuts off extended fasting.

What reviews complain about

Maximum fast length of 48 hours is not enough for extended formats.
No Apple Health or Apple Watch integration despite repeated user requests.
The weight goal feature is inaccessible after purchasing premium.

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

A great app for manually tracking weight and fasts. The one huge downside for me is that there is no way to set a target fasting duration without an exact time, ex: target 18 hours, not 5pm to 11am. I don't know anyone who manages to start and end their fasts at the exact same minute each day.
