FastLine is the intermittent fasting timer that does the one thing you actually open the app for โ€” beautifully โ€” and doesn't charge you $70 a year for a countdown. Start a fast and a clean count-up ring shows your elapsed time, your current stage, and how long until your goal. It lives where you'll actually see it: on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island as a Live Activity, and on your Home Screen as a widget. No need to keep opening the app. HONEST PRICING The timer, fasting stages, history and stats are free, forever. Pro is an optional upgrade at a fair price โ€” about twenty dollars a year, or a one-time lifetime unlock โ€” not a $70 subscription hidden behind a countdown. WHAT YOU GET, FREE โ€ข Count-up fasting ring with time elapsed and time remaining โ€ข Popular protocols: 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 and OMAD โ€ข Live Activity on the Lock Screen + Dynamic Island โ€ข Home Screen widget โ€ข Educational fasting stages as the hours pass โ€ข History, current streak, averages and a 14-day chart PRO (OPTIONAL) โ€ข Custom fasting goals โ€” set your own hours โ€ข Mood & energy notes on every fast โ€ข Weight trend from Apple Health โ€ข Export your history to CSV ON YOUR WRIST Glance at your fast on Apple Watch and start or end it without reaching for your phone. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No backend. Your fasts stay on your device. FastLine reads your weight from Apple Health only if you turn it on, and never writes your data anywhere. A NOTE ON HEALTH FastLine is an educational tracking tool, not medical advice. Fasting isn't right for everyone โ€” talk to a doctor before making changes, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a history of disordered eating.

See how long you've been fasting right on your Lock Screen โ€” without opening the app. Fasting Timer is an intermittent fasting clock that shows your day as a 24-hour dial. Instead of a progress bar, your fast is drawn as an arc on a real clock face โ€” "from 9:30 last night until 1:30 this afternoon" โ€” so you see when you can eat, not just how long you've held on. โ— Lock Screen widgets, Live Activity and Dynamic Island โ€” always accurate, even with the app closed โ— No 23-hour cap โ€” the arc keeps growing past your goal โ— Zero ads, no account, no server โ€” fully local, works offline โ— Your history stays โ€” a 30-day dial calendar plus automatic iCloud backup โ— Reminders for your first meal and your next fast Free forever - Timer with 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 and OMAD presets - Lock Screen widgets (circular, rectangular, inline) and Live Activity - Overtime counting, 30-day history, iCloud backup Premium (subscription) - Custom fast length (1โ€“72 hours) and extended 36/72-hour fasts - Full history beyond 30 days - CSV export About subscriptions: Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription.
