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.

Features
Read full description

Tabaqi is a calorie counter built for Arabic food and habits — no ads, no subscription, no account. • Saudi food built in: kabsa, mandi, jareesh, qursan, marqooq, dates and 600+ foods; dishes computed from their ingredients. • By the plate or by the gram: household portions or exact weight. • Fast logging: what you ate last comes first, plus "same as yesterday" for any meal. • Halal check: scan a barcode and Tabaqi reads the ingredients for pork, alcohol and gelatin. • Ramadan mode: iftar and suhoor replace breakfast and lunch. • Water and weight: a 7-day weight trend, and a goal that updates itself. • Apple Health: steps and active energy in; your calories and weight saved. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — add a glass of water with one tap. • Share your day as a clean picture, or save it. • Arabic first, complete English, and your choice of units. Tabaqi Pro — one purchase, for you and your family: reports, macro targets, your own recipes and log export. Everything free stays free. Your data stays on your device. Tabaqi is an estimation tool, not medical advice. Terms of use: https://jade-puppy-e8be9c.netlify.app
