Fasting Timer - SLOX is a lightweight intermittent-fasting countdown timer designed to keep tracking simple. Features: • Preset protocols: 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 — plus a fully custom protocol • Live countdown showing time elapsed and time remaining • Past-fast history with completion status • Quick-start and one-tap stop • Sound & haptic toggles • 7 languages supported (English / 한국어 / 日本語 / 简体中文 / 繁體中文 / Español / Português) NOT a medical device. The timer simply counts down the duration you choose. It does not measure metabolic state, glucose, or any biomarker, and it does not diagnose any condition. Intermittent fasting may not be safe for everyone (pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, people with diabetes, eating disorders, or other medical conditions). Consult a healthcare professional before starting any fasting routine.

Better Fasting is a simple intermittent fasting tracker and companion. Pick a protocol, hit start, and get on with your day. THE TIMER Choose between OMAD, 12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 or longer protocols up to 72 hours, and watch a glanceable progress ring count your fast. Stop early and log why, or hit your goal and mark it. Start fasting straight away. No account required. STREAKS AND SCHEDULES Keep a streak alive with clear daily goals. Pro unlocks custom weekly schedules: a different target for each day, plus planned off days and cheat days that bridge a gap instead of breaking your streak. ANALYTICS Charts, totals, and averages turn every fast into a trend you can read at a glance. Without Pro you see your last seven days. Pro opens your complete all-time history and your 30-day completion rate.
