Read full description

Blimbi is the intermittent fasting tracker that stays clear, private and pressure-free. No ads and no rigid rules. You choose when to start and stop. Pick 12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 or another rhythm. Your reference time guides you but never starts or ends a fast automatically. Eating mode clearly separates your current eating window from the next fasting goal. THE ESSENTIALS, DONE WELL • Live timer with goal, time remaining and clear backdated edits. • Editable journal, weekly overview, calm milestones and CSV export. • Educational metabolic stages shown as approximate ranges, never measurements. • Illustrated quick reads about drinks, returning to food, evidence and safety. • Widgets, Live Activities, Shortcuts, Apple Watch and configurable reminders. • End-to-end encrypted backup with your Apple or Google account. • No ads. BLIMBI PLUS Build a custom weekly rhythm, add a clinician's comment, and prepare an assisted draft that you always review before saving. Plus also expands insights and personalization.
