Ocras

Read full description

You don’t need another fasting app begging for your attention and tracking your data. Ocras is a simple fasting app built around one question: am I eating right now, or fasting? Set your eating window once, add a widget to your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Apple Watch, and that’s pretty much it. Ocras works out your current fasting state from your schedule and shows it at a glance. There’s no need to start or stop a fast manually. No notifications telling you when to eat. No account to create. You shouldn’t have to open the app several times a day just to keep a fasting timer accurate. If it’s 3pm on a Tuesday, Ocras should simply be able to tell you at a glance whether you’re inside your eating window, without you unlocking your phone. What Ocras does * Set a different eating window for each day of the week, or use the same schedule every day * Choose from common schedules like 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 and OMAD, or make your own * Add widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen * Add widgets and complications to your Apple Watch * Choose from different widget styles, including the original designs, retro-inspired widgets and vaporwave themes * Check your fasting status without opening the app * Works completely offline - no cloud needed What Ocras deliberately does not do: * There are no notifications. * There’s no social feed or sharing. * There’s no account to maintain. * There’s no internet connection required for the core app (only if you want to unlock the additional widgets). * Your schedule and fasting data stay on your device - Ocras does not track anything about you. The aim is to keep Ocras useful without turning fasting into another thing you need to manage. Still growing: I’m continuing to add new widget designs, including more customisation options, and support for longer multi-day fasts is planned too. For now, Ocras is intentionally small: set your schedule, put a widget somewhere useful, and get on with your day. Set once. Glance when you need it. Happy fasting!

Fasty is the simplest way to track intermittent fasting — 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, or custom. One tap to start. Live Activities keep your progress on the Lock Screen without opening the app. Pick a plan, tap Start, and let Fasty take care of the rest. Your fasting timer lives where you actually look: the Home Screen widget, the Lock Screen Live Activity, and the Dynamic Island, so you always know how long you have left without opening the app. WHY FASTY - Quiet by design. No streak shaming, no animated pressure, no push spam. - Local-first. Your data stays on your device. No account. No backend. No tracking. - Just enough features. A timer, proven plans, history, widgets, and Live Activities. PLANS INCLUDED - 16:8: the most popular daily window. - 18:6: a tighter eating window for experienced fasters. - 20:4: the Warrior style, one main meal. - 24h: a full-day fast for an occasional reset. WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITY Add the Fasty widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and your remaining time updates automatically. When you start a fast, a Live Activity appears in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen so progress is one glance away. NOTIFICATIONS Fasty sends a single local notification when your fasting window completes. No marketing pushes, no streak nags. You can turn notifications off any time in iOS Settings. PRIVACY Fasty does not collect data. There is no sign-in. Your fasting history lives only on your device and is shared with the widget through Apple App Groups, never sent to a server. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER Fasty is a habit-tracking timer, not medical software. Fasting is not appropriate for everyone. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, have a history of eating disorders, diabetes, any chronic condition, or are taking long-term medication, consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any fasting regimen.
