FastWindow
Read full descriptionHide full description
FastWindow does one thing. It shows you how long you've been fasting and when you can eat. Every major fasting app has become a wellness platform — coaching subscriptions, quizzes, recipe feeds, and paywall friction. FastWindow strips all of that away. ONE-TAP FASTING TIMER Open the app. Tap start. Done. No quiz about your goals. No onboarding survey. No account creation. Just a clean fasting timer that works. You see two things: • How long you've been fasting (elapsed time) • When you can eat (remaining time) That's it. That's the app. FASTING PRESETS BUILT IN Choose your fasting window in one tap: • 16:8 (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating) • 18:6 (18 hours fasting, 6 hours eating) • 20:4 (20 hours fasting, 4 hours eating) • OMAD (One Meal A Day) • Custom durations (Pro feature) No coaching. No meal plans. No calorie tracking. Just fasting. FEATURES THAT MATTER • One-tap fasting timer • Live elapsed and remaining time • Fasting presets (16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD) • 7-day fast history at a glance • Calendar heatmap to see patterns • Backdate your start time if you forget to start the timer • Local notifications when your fast ends • No account required. Ever. • No subscription. Ever. FASTWINDOW PRO — One Time Purchase Upgrade once to unlock: • Unlimited fast history (beyond 7 days) • Custom fasting durations (set any hours:minutes) • Weight log with trend visualization • Apple Health export (weight, fasting data) • Advanced stats (average fast length, streak tracking) Pay once. £4.99. Yours forever. No renewal, no monthly fee, no subscription. WHY FASTWINDOW EXISTS The fasting app category has a problem. Every major app pushes you toward: • Subscription upsells (coaching, premium insights, meal plans) • Onboarding quizzes (goals, weight, activity level, dietary preferences) • Wellness bloat (recipes, articles, community challenges, step tracking) FastWindow rejects all of that. If you need a fasting coach, use Zero. If you want recipes and meal plans, use Fastic. If you want community challenges, use BodyFast. But if you just want to know how long you've been fasting — and that's it — FastWindow is for you. PERFECT FOR • People practicing intermittent fasting (16:8, 18:6, OMAD, etc.) • Users frustrated by fasting app subscriptions • Anyone who wants a timer, not a wellness platform • People who value simplicity over features • Users tired of onboarding quizzes and paywalls WHO FASTWINDOW IS NOT FOR FastWindow does not provide: • Coaching or fasting advice • Meal plans or recipes • Calorie tracking or macros • Community features or challenges • Water intake or step tracking • Body measurements beyond weight If you need those features, consider Zero, Fastic, or BodyFast. FastWindow is intentionally minimal. PRIVACY & SIMPLICITY • No account creation required • No email, no password, no profile • All data stored locally on your device • No cloud sync (intentional — keeps it simple) • No third-party analytics or tracking • Offline-first design NO SUBSCRIPTION MEANS NO SUBSCRIPTION Other fasting apps say "free" but push monthly subscriptions for basic features like custom fasting durations or history beyond 7 days. FastWindow is different: one optional upgrade, one price, lifetime access. No coaching upsells, no premium tiers, no renewal fatigue. Free version: 7-day history, preset durations (16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD), basic timer Pro version: £2.99 once, everything unlocked, forever MEDICAL DISCLAIMER FastWindow is not medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional before beginning any fasting program, especially if you have a medical condition or take medications. SUPPORT & CONTACT Questions? Feedback?

A fasting timer. That's it. Free to use, no account, no ads, no AI coach, no subscription required — upgrade once and keep it forever. Fix a forgotten fast in two taps. Your data stays on your device and exports any time. THE TIMER Pick a preset — 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, 5:2 — or set a custom fast. One big ring shows elapsed, remaining, or percent; tap to switch. Started fasting before you opened the app? Adjust the start time mid-fast. Ending early or late? The end time is editable too. No lectures either way. YOUR HISTORY IS YOURS TO EDIT Every fasting app makes logging mistakes. Nistis is the one that lets you fix them: any fast, any field, any time — including days you forgot entirely. Tap an empty day, add the fast, done. Streaks and stats recompute instantly. No punishment screens. STAGES, NOT SERMONS A simple timeline shows the stages commonly associated with fasting — digesting, fat burning, ketosis ramp — with honest, hedged language and no medical claims. FREE MEANS FREE The timer, every preset, unlimited history with full editing, streaks, stats, notifications, and a home-screen widget. Free forever — in writing. Whatever ships free stays free. Available in 34 languages. NISTIS PRO — PAY ONCE IF YOU WANT MORE • Apple Watch app with complications — start and end from your wrist • Live Activity and Dynamic Island — your fast on the lock screen • Every widget style, including lock-screen widgets • Apple Health sync for weight and water • Advanced stats: trends, completion rate, weight overlay • Import from other fasting apps (first import free) and export any time $2.99/month, $14.99/year, or $29.99 once — yours for life. Other fasting apps charge $69.99 every year for less. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No ads. No tracking SDKs. Works completely offline; optional iCloud sync uses your private iCloud, which we can't read. The only thing the app ever phones is Apple's purchase system. Check our App Store privacy label against any other fasting app — that's the whole pitch. Nistis — Greek νήστις, "the one who fasts." Pronounced NISS-tis. Not medical advice. Consult a doctor before changing your eating pattern. Privacy policy: https://nistis.com/privacy Terms of use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: FastWindow at 15.1 against Nistis's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
