Yuru Fasting is the gentle way to do intermittent fasting — one you can actually keep up.
◆ Why "gentle"?
Strict water-only fasting often breaks a life. Dinners with family, time with friends — these matter too much to give up. This app helps you care for your brain and cells without sacrificing the relationships and rituals that make life rich.
◆ What makes it sustainable
● Small amounts of vegetables, fruits, and plain nuts fit in — foods that don't spike insulin much, which I think makes it easier to keep going than a water-only fast.
● No streak guilt — there's nothing to compete over. Every hour you fasted simply adds up, quietly.
● Nothing chases you — the timer runs on its own; open the app when you feel like it. Notifications are optional and stay off until you turn them on.
● Watch how you feel, not just the numbers — log your morning freshness, focus, and mood alongside your fasting hours.
◆ On your Home Screen and Lock Screen
A Home Screen widget keeps the changes inside you in view. Your fasting time ticks live and your current phase is right there — no need to open the app.
Turn it on in Settings, and while fasting your elapsed time also shows on the Lock Screen and Apple Watch (watchOS 11+), up to 8 hours at a time per iOS rules.
◆ Your usual rhythm, gently
Set your usual start time, turn on its note, and a quiet note arrives then — it rests while you're fasting. Forgot to start? The next morning, one tap on "Started at the usual time" starts counting from that time.
If Health has weight entries, turn it on in Settings and they're read in when you open the app. Read-only; nothing is written to Health.
◆ Read what's happening in your body
The time since you started fasting is shown across 11 phases. In plain language, you can read what may be happening inside you right now — a gentle look at the changes within, not just numbers.
◆ The science behind it
In animal studies, autophagy (the cell's self-renewal process) is known to rise as a fast goes on, and human research has begun to look for early signs of it. How fasting relates to BDNF, a protein tied to memory and learning, is also being studied. Yuru Fasting doesn't promise these effects — listen to your body and keep going at your own pace.
◆ About the app's color
This app shows no ads, and I don't plan to add any.
Everything you have today stays free. With no ads to rely on, payments like these are the only thing keeping the app going.
If you support the app, you can choose its color — Blossom, Sky, Leaf, Dusk, Shore, Rose, Sunset, or the original. You can change it whenever you like.
◆ Who this is for
· People who find traditional fasting apps too strict
· Those who don't want to give up meals with the people they love
· Anyone who cares more about clarity and a steady mood than the scale

◆ From the developer
I've taken on serious fasting myself, more than once — I once kept it up for about half a year and felt my head grow clear. But I kept stopping partway through. I never found the app that fit me, so I built it. You don't have to be perfect. Just give yourself time to settle, within what you can keep up.
