Simply Fast is a beautifully simple, no-frills companion for time-restricted eating. Rebuilt from the ground up for the latest iPhone and Apple Watch, it keeps the same clean, one-glance design while feeling right at home on today's devices. Set your window, glance at your progress, and get on with your day. [Features] • Clean, distraction-free design for iPhone and Apple Watch. • Set your fasting start time to any half hour of the day. • Choose a fasting duration from 12 to 23 hours. • A live progress bar shows your current fasting or eating window, with the time remaining at a glance. • Apple Watch complications for modern watch faces, so your window is always one look away. • A notification at the start of each fasting and eating window. • Your schedule stays in sync across iPhone and Apple Watch. • No sign-in, no account, no ads, and no pop-ups. • Private by design: the app collects nothing and sends us no information. [Important] You should consult your doctor before starting or changing a fasting schedule. Simply Fast supports time-restricted eating only, not full-day fasting such as 5:2, and it does not track or store a history of your fasts. [Feedback] We would love to hear from you. Please reach us through the app support page (https://www.mpathy.tech/contact-us). If you find Simply Fast useful, please tell a friend and leave a rating on the App Store.
