Hold Fast vs Steady

Fasting works. Remembering when you started, when to stop, and whether you're on track? That's the hard part. Hold Fast makes it effortless. Whatever your reason for fasting, Hold Fast keeps up. Some people fast to manage their weight. Others do it for metabolic health, steady energy, sharper focus, longevity, spiritual practice, or simply the discipline of it. Hold Fast doesn't push one goal on you. It just tracks your fast, cleanly and reliably, so you can focus on why you started. Tap once to start your fast. Watch the timer count up on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island, without even opening the app. Hit your goal, log the win, and build a streak you can actually see. That's the whole idea: a fasting app that gets out of your way. No noise, no clutter, no ads. Just a clean timer and the data that keeps you consistent. WHY YOU'LL STICK WITH IT • One tap to start, so your fast is always a glance away • Popular plans built in: 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, and OMAD • A unique Sun Up to Sun Down plan that tracks your fast to local sunrise and sunset • Streaks and history that make progress feel real and keep you coming back FEATURES • Live Activity and Dynamic Island for real-time progress • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets in every size • Full fasting history with a month calendar and weekly trend charts • Start and goal reminders so you never miss your window • Private by design.

Other fasting apps count the hours. Steady gets you through the hard one. For people who already fast and keep breaking at the same stretch. Not a diet app: no calories, no meal plans, no weight tracking. A streak to protect. Badges to earn. Water, weight and steps to log. A dozen pings before lunch. None of it helps at the hour you want to eat, and all of it is one more thing to fall behind on. Steady is a timer, one check-in before the hour you usually quit, something to do while that hour passes, and a record that tells the truth. That is the whole app. Hungry is easy. Tired, hungry and low, all at once, is what beats you. That stack lands around the same hour of a fast and lifts not long after, and no timer notices. Steady learns when it hits you, checks in just ahead of it, gives you three minutes of slow breathing to get through it, and two hours later shows you, from your own record, that it passed. WHAT IT IS - A fasting timer for 12 to 20 hour windows. - One check-in, two taps: pick a mood, log it. - Three minutes of paced breathing when a check-in is low. The circle fills, you breathe in; it empties, you breathe out. A gentle pulse in your hand marks each breath, so you can shut your eyes. Works offline. - A small puzzle if breathing is not your thing. A new one every time. No clock, no score. - Then one question: how is it now? Steady keeps the answer and tells you plainly whether it lifted. - Or water and a ten-minute wait, with the drink picked for the time of day. Water first, nothing with caffeine late. - An honest record: how many you finished, your longest, and how often you felt better a little later after a low check-in, with the fasts you ended early counted against it. The You tab shows what got you through, counted from your own record. WHAT IT IS NOT - No streaks at all. No badges, no fire icons. Nothing resets, so there is nothing to lose. - Not a diet app. No calorie counting, meal plans, or water, weight or step logging. No meditation library to keep up with either. - No social feed, no ads, no analytics. - No inflated stages. Steady tops out at 20 hours and does not claim autophagy or ketosis, because they do not happen at 16 hours. IT WILL TELL YOU TO STOP Tap anything physical during a check-in (shaky, dizzy, heart racing) and Steady tells you to stop and eat, whatever the hour. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No server. Everything Steady knows about you lives in a local database on your iPhone, and nothing you enter is sent anywhere. It all works offline. Delete the app and it is gone. Steady is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. If you take insulin, a sulfonylurea or an SGLT2 inhibitor, or have any condition affected by not eating, talk to your doctor before fasting. If you feel unwell during a fast, stop and eat.
