OMAD tracking stripped to its essence. Features: - One-tap eating window tracking - Edit past entries - Export your data - Weekly history + basic averages - Works offline forever One button. 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.

Two kinds of time, one app. The minutes of a stretch, a breathing cycle, or an evening wind-down — and the days until the trip, the race, or the birthday you're counting toward. Countdown handles both, on your iPhone, your iPad, your wrist, and your Lock Screen. No account. No ads. Nothing to buy. Nothing collected. TIMERS FOR ROUTINES Build a timer once and start it with a tap. Name it, set its length, and give it a beep every 10 or 30 seconds, or every 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes — a cue to change position or switch sides without watching the clock. Several timers can run at the same time, and they keep counting while you're in another app or with the screen off. COUNTDOWNS TO THE DAYS THAT MATTER Add an event with a date and watch the days, hours, minutes and seconds tick down. Mark it as a birthday, anniversary, trip, party, deadline or meeting, and the app dresses it accordingly — with a little celebration when it finally arrives. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app runs your routines on their own. Start, pause and reset from your wrist, and the display stays on while a timer counts down, so you can hold a stretch or follow a breathing cycle hands-free instead of tapping the watch awake mid-routine. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AND HOME SCREEN A running timer appears as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with pause and cancel one tap away. Widgets keep your next event in view — a full countdown on the Home Screen, or a compact one beside the clock on the Lock Screen. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD The same app, laid out for the screen it's on. On iPad the countdown dial grows and the content settles into a readable column, in Split View and Stage Manager too. MADE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY • Choose your beep and alert tones • Turn sound or haptics off entirely • Decide whether the screen stays awake while a timer runs • Time-sensitive alerts, so the end of a routine isn't lost to a Focus mode • Rename a timer or change its length and beep interval whenever you like PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Countdown makes no network requests at all. There are no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party code anywhere in the app. Your timers, events and settings stay on your device — we never see them, because there is nowhere for them to go.
