## What is Vrata?

Vrata: Moon-based Fasting Coach
Lunar Fasting

Nature-Aligned Fasting
Vrata is the only fasting app that aligns your fast with both
your body's metabolic state and the Panchang tithi calendar.
Each day, Vrata gives you precise dietary guidance, a live
metabolic phase reading, and a Sanskrit-grounded insight — all
computed on your device from the lunar calendar and your fasting
state. Your health data never leaves your iPhone.

HOW IT WORKS
Open the app. If today is Ekadashi, Purnima, Pradosh, or another
sacred day, Vrata recommends the appropriate fast with dietary
guidelines, duration, and scripture references. Tap Begin to
track your fast with a live timer and metabolic phase insights
drawn from clinical research.

SIRI & APPLE INTELLIGENCE
Ask Siri "What's today's tithi?" or "Start my Ekadashi fast"
without opening the app. After a few fasts, Siri learns your
rhythm and suggests your next one automatically. On supported
devices, Vrata generates a private on-device AI insight for your
exact lunar moment — the Sanskrit term, your metabolic phase,
the ancient source — no internet, no servers.

WHAT YOU GET (FREE)

and sunset
• 6 traditional fasting types with dietary rules
• Smart recommendations on sacred days
• Fast timer with hydration tracking

VRATA PRO
Upgrade to unlock the Daily Tithi × Metabolic Reading — a
personalized insight each morning combining your fasting state,
the day's tithi, and Ayurvedic guidance.

• Lunar Biorhythm Chart — visualise how your HRV and sleep
shift with the moon cycle over months

Vedic parallels

PRIVACY FIRST
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No data collection. Vrata
processes everything on your device — including our Apple
Intelligence features, which never send prompts to any server.
We don't have servers that could be breached, because we don't
have servers that store your data at all.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Families observing Ekadashi, Purnima, Pradosh, and Somvar vrats
• Diaspora seeking a modern tool for traditional practice
• Wellness seekers exploring lunar-aligned intermittent fasting
from a scientific and traditional perspective
• Anyone who wants to understand why fasting works — through
both science and scripture

SCIENCE-BACKED, TRADITION-RESPECTED
Vrata avoids pseudoscience. Metabolic claims are grounded in
published clinical research and presented conservatively.
Tradition is sourced from authentic Panchang computation and
classical references — not invented features.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.4 — 2026-08-03

What's New in Vrata
Discover Your True Birthday
Your Gregorian birthday is just a date. Your lunar birthday is who you are. Vrata now reveals your Janma Tithi (birth lunar day) and Janma Nakshatra (birth star) — and finds the exact Gregorian dates they return each year. Because in Hindu tradition, your real birthday moves.
Tithi Birthday · Tithi Janmadin
The North Indian tradition — celebrate the same sacred lunar day in your birth Hindu month, every year.
Nakshatra Birthday · Janma Nakshatra Dinotsavam
The South Indian tradition — celebrate when the Moon re-enters your birth star during your birth month.

### 2.0.3 — 2026-07-05

What's New in Vrata 2.0.3

Siri & Apple Intelligence
Ask Siri about your practice without opening the app:
• "What's today's tithi in Vrata"
• "What can I eat today in Vrata"
• "When's the next sacred day in Vrata"
• "Start my Ekadashi fast in Vrata"
• "My fasting streak in Vrata"

After a few fasts, Siri learns your rhythm and begins 
proactively suggesting your fast on the morning it's due — 
no reminders to set up.

On-Device AI Insight Card
Vrata now generates a personalized Vedic insight for your 
exact moment — the tithi, your fasting phase, the nakshatra — 
using Apple Intelligence entirely on your device. No internet, 
no data leaving your phone. Includes the Sanskrit term for 
your state and its ancient source text. On devices without 
Apple Intelligence, the curated contemplation quotes appear 
instead — no empty states.

Smarter Dietary Guidance
• Nirjala Ekadashi now correctly shows a CRITICAL warning — 
  water is prohibited, not just grain
• Sankashti Chaturthi and Vinayaka Chaturthi have distinct 
  profiles with the correct fasting rules for each
• Shani Pradosh (Saturday) and Som Pradosh (Monday) now 
  surface their special significance with extra context
• All warnings are colour-coded: red for absolute 
  prohibitions, amber for timing cautions, gold for context 
  that deepens your practice

Live Tithi Countdown
The "X hours left" display now updates every minute in real 
time. At under 15 minutes it turns red and reads "Changing 
soon." No more stale timers.

### 2.0.2 — 2026-07-01

Smarter fasting. Deeper wisdom.
• Health insights powered by Apple Watch
• Smarter dietary guidance 
• Recipes for the US kitchen
• Bug fixes

### 2.0.1 — 2026-05-04

The home screen now shows your position in the lunar fortnight (Day X of 15) and your next upcoming fast at a glance. Fasting milestone notifications alert you when you enter Fat Burning (12h), Ketosis (18h), and Autophagy (36h). Vedic health cards throughout the app now carry specific Ayurvedic citations — Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Atharvaveda verse references with named Sanskrit mechanisms. Fixed a display bug where the tithi countdown showed 0h instead of "less than 1h."

### 2.0 — 2026-04-28

Fasting timer bug fixed. Progress now tracks accurately even when the app is backgrounded or force-quit. Water count also saves correctly.

Deeper Ayurvedic guidance. Each fast now shows its full traditional protocol — what to eat, what to avoid, and how to break the fast. Four new lunar phase dietary tips added to Circadian Eating.

Cleaner home screen. Focused on what matters: your moon, your fast, your streak. Everything else is in Profile → Explore.

Widget cleaned up.

Universal mode works everywhere. Switching between Traditional and Universal display now updates all text across the app.
