A built-in fasting feature would make it much easier to stay consistent and use the app as a complete nutrition and fasting tracker. For many people—especially those switching from apps like MFP—an intermittent fasting timer is the missing final piece they need to make this their go-to app.

What this could help with

• Track your fast automatically by showing the time between your last meal the previous day and your first meal of the day.

• Set a fasting goal and track progress against it with a simple start/stop timer.

• Choose from common intermittent fasting schedules or create custom fasting lengths that fit your lifestyle.

• Build flexible weekly routines, such as:

  • fasting on Monday

  • keto Tuesday through Thursday

  • dirty keto Friday through Sunday

• Mark specific fasting days on your calendar without needing to enter macro goals, so those days can clearly display 0 macro goals at a glance.

• Support Ramadan fasting with custom plans that match Ramadan schedules.

• Include helpful fasting education and guidance for people who want support while building the habit.

• Offer quick-glance access with a widget so it’s easy to check fasting status anytime.

• Add easy-to-see notifications, including the option to keep fasting status pinned in the notification bar.

Why it matters

Users have shared that they love the food database and already use the app for recipes and nutrition tracking—but are still looking for a reliable fasting timer to stay consistent. Having fasting plans, visible fasting days, and simple progress tracking in one place would make the app far more complete for anyone following intermittent fasting or seasonal fasting routines.
