Tap when you start eating. Tap when you stop. Done. No signup. No account. No cloud. Your data stays on your phone. No ads. No premium upsell. No subscriptions. Ever. No badges. No streaks. No guilt trips when you skip a day. No social features. No sharing. No comparing yourself to others. No calorie counting. No macro tracking. No food photos. No articles. No coaches. No 47-step fasting protocols. No notifications begging you to open the app. Just the facts: - How long you've been fasting - When you ate today - Your meal times this week That's literally it. We built this because every other fasting app treats you like a child who needs gamification, or a wallet that needs emptying. You're neither. You know what OMAD is. You know why you're doing it. You don't need our motivation or education. You just need to track your one meal. 2MB app size. 2 screens total. 1 button to rule them all. Automatic handling if you forget to stop your eating timer. Quick fixes if you forgot to log yesterday. Extended fasting? The timer just keeps counting. For people who want their tools to do one thing well and then get out of the way. The way software should be.
