Blimbi is the intermittent fasting tracker that stays clear, private and pressure-free. No ads and no rigid rules. You choose when to start and stop. Pick 12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 or another rhythm. Your reference time guides you but never starts or ends a fast automatically. Eating mode clearly separates your current eating window from the next fasting goal. THE ESSENTIALS, DONE WELL β€’ Live timer with goal, time remaining and clear backdated edits. β€’ Editable journal, weekly overview, calm milestones and CSV export. β€’ Educational metabolic stages shown as approximate ranges, never measurements. β€’ Illustrated quick reads about drinks, returning to food, evidence and safety. β€’ Widgets, Live Activities, Shortcuts, Apple Watch and configurable reminders. β€’ End-to-end encrypted backup with your Apple or Google account. β€’ No ads. BLIMBI PLUS Build a custom weekly rhythm, add a clinician's comment, and prepare an assisted draft that you always review before saving. Plus also expands insights and personalization. Price and terms are shown before purchase. Blimbi is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent or measure any condition or metabolic process, and it is not a substitute for professional care. If you have diabetes, take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare team first. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Need a comfortable breathing rhythm for a tense moment, an upcoming meeting, a distracted afternoon, or bedtime? BreathLever starts with how you feel, explains why a practice may fit, and makes it easy to stop or switch. No account required. START WITH THE MOMENT β€’ Choose from six quick scenarios: tense, panicky, angry, overloaded, before a meeting, or unable to sleep. β€’ Gentle Reset offers a simple, hold-free starting point. β€’ Browse and search by goal, including calm, sleep, focus, energy, and mindfulness. MORE THAN A BREATHING TIMER β€’ Explore 32 breathing topics: 21 guided practices plus 11 safety and education entries for methods that are information-only or require professional guidance. β€’ Find Natural Breathing, Gentle 4–6, Coherent 5–5, Box Breathing, Diaphragmatic Breathing, Physiological Sigh, Alternate Nostril Breathing, 4–7–8, and more. β€’ Every method includes scenarios, its basic pattern, expected experience, evidence level, references, safety limits, and stop signals. β€’ Create a custom inhale, hold, exhale, cycle count, and duration. Built-in rules block unsupported patterns. GUIDANCE THAT FITS YOU β€’ Follow visual, voice, sound, and haptic cues, each adjustable on its own. β€’ Practice with Still Waters, meditation music, temple bowl, rain, and other soundscapes, or import your own audio. β€’ Pause or stop at any time, skip an optional hold, and use reduced-motion support. BUILD A PRACTICE THAT LASTS β€’ Follow the 7 Days of Gentle Foundations course. β€’ Review daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly trends, a practice calendar, session history, and method, goal, and time-of-day distributions. β€’ Save before-and-after check-ins and a private journal. Set goals, reminders, and rest days. BUILT FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM β€’ Practice quietly on Apple Watch with wrist haptics. β€’ Start from widgets, Siri App Shortcuts, and iOS 18 Control Center controls; manage an active practice from its Lock Screen Live Activity. PRIVACY FIRST No account is required. Practice history, journal entries, check-ins, and safety preferences stay on your device by default and are never used to personalize ads. The free experience includes core gentle methods and everyday tools, with samples of other methods; ads never interrupt an active practice. Pro adds unlimited access to the complete guided library, the full seven-day course, expanded customization, and an ad-free experience. For adults aged 18 and older. BreathLever is a general-wellness and educational tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and is not a substitute for professional care. Never practice while driving, in water, at height, or while operating machinery. Do not force or strain your breathing or breath holds. Stop immediately for dizziness, chest tightness, marked shortness of breath, numbness, panic, faintness, or any discomfort. Seek qualified care for medical concerns and contact local emergency services when there may be immediate danger.
