Start the timer, get on with your day, and it tells you when you are done. FREE, AND STAYING FREE - The timer, every preset, and your complete history - An alert at your goal that breaks through Focus, or a real alarm that sounds even on silent (iOS 26 and later) - Live Activity and Dynamic Island, so a running fast is on your lock screen without opening anything - Fasting stages as they pass, described in plain words - Forgot to start it?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Holdfast at none against Nutrio's shown. Nutrio's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
