Pick a plan, tap once, and watch a clean timer count your fast. Free to start. No account, no ads. Hi, I'm Hayk, a solo developer. I built EasyFasting because every fasting app I tried buried the timer under paywalls, sale pop-ups, and exaggerated science. So I made the app I wanted to use: • The timer is free forever • No account, ever • No ads, no marketing notifications • Your data stays on your iPhone, synced through your own iCloud FREE, FOR EVERYONE • One-Tap Timer Five plans: 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD. Switch anytime. • A Timer That Works Around You Forgot to hit start or stop? Adjust the start time while you're still fasting, and fix the start and end of a finished fast whenever you need to. No fast is ever locked. • On Your Wrist Start, stop, and switch plans from Apple Watch. See your current phase and time remaining at a glance, kept in sync with your iPhone. • Forgiving Streaks Build streaks that stick — and skip a day when life happens, without losing the progress you've earned. • Six Fasting Phases See what your body is doing hour by hour, from Fed to the Metabolic Switch and beyond. Honest science, no overpromising. • Every Reminder Fast complete, new phase reached, water, streak at risk. All free, all customizable, with quiet hours. • Widgets Your timer on the Home and Lock Screen. Log water without opening the app. • Learn Courses Short lessons on the science and habits behind fasting, with gentle reminders to finish what you start. • 3D Awards Earn animated awards for your milestones and share them. Every award is free to earn. • Your History, Your Rules Water and weight logging, plus a color-coded calendar of your last 7 days — and you can delete any log for good, anytime. Nothing is held on a server. • Plus 15 languages. PREMIUM, IF YOU WANT MORE • Full stats: totals, averages, and trend charts • A 30-day weight trend with moving average • Unlimited history (your last 7 days are always free) • Feel & Tips insights for every phase • 7 accent colors Try Premium free for 7 days, then pick monthly, yearly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Apple shows your exact local price before you pay, and you can cancel in two taps in your iOS Settings. WHY EASYFASTING • The timer never gets paywalled • The science never gets exaggerated • The app never nags you to buy anything Start your first fast today. COMMUNITY There's a small Discord where I post updates, answer questions, and take feature requests.
