Fasting Journey is a clean, focused app for tracking intermittent fasting — built around a live progress ring that shows exactly where you are in your fast or eating window, in real time. CHOOSE YOUR PROTOCOL 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, 5:2, OMAD, or set your own custom hours. Switch anytime from the ring itself. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log water, weight, and meals for each day. Watch your streak build and see your average fasting duration over time. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Weekly, monthly, and yearly views: duration charts, a monthly heatmap, your longest fast, weight trend, and full session history. WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY UPDATE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets tick live, right alongside the app — no need to open Fasting Journey just to check how much longer you have. STAY ON TRACK Optional reminders for starting your fast, finishing soon, drinking water, and an evening summary — with quiet hours so they never interrupt sleep. APPLE HEALTH Sync your weight and fasting sessions with Apple Health, entirely on your device. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Fasting Journey is available in English, Russian, Spanish, French, and German, with full support for both light and dark appearance. Fasting Journey includes a free trial. Continued use requires a subscription (monthly or yearly, auto-renewing) — manage or cancel anytime in Settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Fast at none against Fasting Journey's 2. The Fast also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
