THE TIMER Choose between OMAD, 12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 or longer protocols up to 72 hours, and watch a glanceable progress ring count your fast. Stop early and log why, or hit your goal and mark it. Start fasting straight away. No account required. STREAKS AND SCHEDULES Keep a streak alive with clear daily goals. Pro unlocks custom weekly schedules: a different target for each day, plus planned off days and cheat days that bridge a gap instead of breaking your streak.

Pro opens your complete all-time history and your 30-day completion rate.
