Fasting that fits your life. Most fasting apps hand you a generic timer and wish you luck. Pinchly does the opposite — a short quiz builds an intermittent fasting plan around your real schedule, chronotype, and goals, then adapts as you go. YOUR PERSONALIZED PLAN Not another generic 16:8 timer. Pinchly builds your eating window around your wake and sleep times, your cravings, and your goals — and quietly adjusts it as you build the habit. A TIMER THAT ADAPTS Open the app and see exactly how long until your next eating window. Stick the landing and Pinchly steps you up; miss a few days and it softens the plan instead of punishing you. YOUR CONSISTENCY SCORE + STREAK Every completed fast builds your Consistency Score and your streak — a simple, motivating way to watch your habit grow from day one. The number climbs as you stay consistent. HOUR-BY-HOUR COACHING Every fast comes with a milestone timeline, so you always know what stage you're in — from settling in, to the metabolic switch, to deep fasting. The hard hours feel normal instead of scary. CRAVING RESCUE Pinchly sees the wave coming and warns you before it hits, with quick, proven moves to ride it out — a glass of water, a short walk, box breathing, and more. GENTLE REMINDERS Only the nudges that matter: when your eating window opens, when it's time to fast, and your weekly check-in. No spam, ever. OPTIONAL PROGRESS PHOTOS If you like, keep a private before/after photo on your own device to look back on. It's optional, never rated or scored, and never leaves your phone. Pinchly is a wellness and habit app, not a medical device — nothing in it is medical advice. If you're pregnant or nursing, under 18, managing a condition like diabetes, take medication with food, or have a history of disordered eating, please talk with a clinician before starting a fasting plan. Start your plan and your first fast in minutes. Terms of Use (EULA): https://intuiv.dev/pinchly-terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://intuiv.dev/pinchly-privacy-policy
