Fasting Timer - SLOX is a lightweight intermittent-fasting countdown timer designed to keep tracking simple. Features: • Preset protocols: 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 — plus a fully custom protocol • Live countdown showing time elapsed and time remaining • Past-fast history with completion status • Quick-start and one-tap stop • Sound & haptic toggles • 7 languages supported (English / 한국어 / 日本語 / 简体中文 / 繁體中文 / Español / Português) NOT a medical device. The timer simply counts down the duration you choose. It does not measure metabolic state, glucose, or any biomarker, and it does not diagnose any condition. Intermittent fasting may not be safe for everyone (pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, people with diabetes, eating disorders, or other medical conditions). Consult a healthcare professional before starting any fasting routine.
