mito helps you understand what happens inside the body during fasting. Instead of simply counting hours, mito visualizes the metabolic stages of fasting. Animated stages illustrate how the body gradually shifts from digestion and blood sugar regulation to stored glucose use and increasing reliance on fat metabolism. Most fasting apps simply count hours. mito explains how your metabolism gradually changes during a fast and what these changes mean for your body. Each stage includes a short article that explains what is happening in the body, making the biology of fasting easier to understand — not just something you track. Beyond the stages, mito also includes a growing collection of articles that explore different aspects of fasting and metabolism. You can also track your fasting history, recognize patterns in your fasting habits, and keep notes about how different fasts feel. What mito includes • A fasting timer with animated metabolic stages • Visual explanations of what happens during a fast • Short articles explaining each stage of fasting • A growing library of articles about fasting and metabolism • A history view to see patterns over time • Notes to capture observations during a fast • Structured fasting plans for different rhythms • Home Screen widgets and Live Activities Focused on privacy mito works without accounts, tracking, or cloud sync.
