Meridian vs Hold Fast

Meridian is the fasting app for people who are tired of fasting apps. No 15-screen onboarding quiz. No AI coach upselling you a meal plan. No gamification badges. No paywall on the timer. Just a clean, powerful tool that respects your intelligence and your time. START IN SECONDS One tap to start. One tap to stop. Meridian tracks your fasting window, shows what's happening in your body at each metabolic phase, and stays out of your way. Every schedule built in — 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, or set your own custom window. REAL SCIENCE, NOT SLOGANS Each body phase is grounded in peer-reviewed metabolic research. Know when glycogen depletes. Know when ketosis begins. Know when autophagy ramps up. Meridian tells you what's actually happening — with citations, not marketing copy.

Fasting works. Remembering when you started, when to stop, and whether you're on track? That's the hard part. Hold Fast makes it effortless. Whatever your reason for fasting, Hold Fast keeps up. Some people fast to manage their weight. Others do it for metabolic health, steady energy, sharper focus, longevity, spiritual practice, or simply the discipline of it. Hold Fast doesn't push one goal on you. It just tracks your fast, cleanly and reliably, so you can focus on why you started. Tap once to start your fast. Watch the timer count up on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island, without even opening the app. Hit your goal, log the win, and build a streak you can actually see. That's the whole idea: a fasting app that gets out of your way. No noise, no clutter, no ads. Just a clean timer and the data that keeps you consistent.
