About this app

Fastward is an intermittent fasting timer built around your home screen, not a menu you have to dig into. Start and end a fast straight from the widget, no unlocking or opening the app required.

Free, forever, with no ads: every core feature below is free from day one. Nothing about tracking a fast is paywalled.

FEATURES

- Home-screen widget with a live progress ring, tap it to start a fast when idle, no need to open the app
- Standard protocols: 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, or set your own hours
- Fasting-stage guide (fed, blood sugar drop, fat burning, ketosis, autophagy), clearly framed as general education, not medical advice
- Full history with editable start and end times, so a mistyped time is never stuck on your record
- Stats: weekly hours fasted, streaks, longest fast, average window, all-time total
- Milestone badges for fasts completed, longest fast and longest streak, once earned, never lost by missing a day
- Streak freeze: one missed day inside an otherwise consecutive run won't reset your streak to zero
- A silent, ongoing notification mirrors your progress with an End fast button, so you can check it without opening the app
- Quick Settings tile to start or end a fast from your notification shade
- Haptic feedback and Dynamic (You) theming on Android 12+ that matches your phone's own wallpaper
- Share a streak or milestone as an image with one tap
- Opt-in daily start reminder and a weekly recap notification, both easy to turn off
- A light check-in nudge past 24 hours of active fasting, this app never frames fasting purely as a weight-loss shortcut

WHY FASTWARD

Most fasting apps treat the widget as an afterthought, a static number you have to open the app to update. Fastward's widget is the main event: your ring, your remaining time, and a real start button, right on your home screen.

No account needed. No data leaves your phone unless you choose to export it yourself.
