Intermittent Fasting Tracker‪:‬ 4+

Like most people I have been searching for a replacement for the Life fasting app which was unceremoniously retired recently. I have trialled many over the years and again recently. This is the one. I actually prefer it to Life. The UI is clean and simple. It gives notifications for various phases of the fast and collates all of your metrics wonderfully. The developer is also constantly making updates and is responsive to questions and feedback. I like the roadmap feature also. The fact this is free in the age of the micro transaction and subscription is wonderful. The only feature I am looking for is to be able to define a fast by the end time. So for example I want to fast from “now” until Sunday at 14:07. I want to program that in and the app to calculate how long that is on its own and count accordingly. I think I saw this as a possible feature on the roadmap and I have voted for it. The best fasting app in my opinion and it will only improve as time goes on.

Yes you can vote for such an end time based goal on the roadmap. Thank you! If you have more feedback contact me by email or vote on future features on the roadmap. Best, Kai

This is actually a pretty good fasting app, I downloaded it when Life OMIC stopped working (sob). Fasty allows you to track fasts, see how your fasting time compared to the previous week or month and to see how long you have spent in each of the fasting zones - all without having to pay for a premium version, so you get more than you do on the free version of Zero. you can edit the start time and end time of your fast and set the goal for length of your fast to whatever you want, so it has a really good level of flexibility. I like that you get badges but they are not annoying pop-ups like they are on zero. It doesn’t constantly prompt you to sign up to a paid version, which is nice. The interface is clean and simple.
I suppose my only criticism is that it’s not really clear to see your fasting and eating Window each day, I really miss this from Life OMIC, which had a chart where you could see for each day of the week when you started your fast, when you went into ketosis, and when the fast was ended - I found that really motivating to make me want to do longer fasts & to spend longer in ketosis each week. This app shows ketosis as >24h - I don’t know if that’s right or wrong but it’s different from the previous app I was using which showed ketosis at >16h

Thank you for the detailed review. Can you send me an email with a more detailed description of this chart? Then I may consider adding it to the roadmap. There’s no exact formula where ketosis starts. Every body is different and it matters how much sport you did and what you ate before. The only way to track this precisely would be to do ketone measurements. So 24h is an average estimate based on the literate I found on this topic.

Had the Life app which was discontinued. Tried for a bit to find a replacement to track my fasts and progress. This proved hard as many required subscriptions and were way too fancy and over the top. Beauty of IF is the simplicity of it and this app captures that wonderfully. No sign up fees or embellished “plans” just gives what’s needed which is an easy way to keep track of your windows and weight progress.

There is also extra information about the different fasting stages which isn’t pushed down your throat but there if you are interested and helpful to anyone who is new to the lifestyle.

So happy and grateful I found this app. I just hope it stays as it is for as long as possible!

Thank you! Best, Kai
