FastMinder: A Simple, Lightweight, and Clutter-Free Intermittent Fasting Tracking Experience [Sponsor]

Funn Media knows that the best tracking apps make it easy to get started and even simpler to stick with your tracking. That’s exactly what FastMinder, its new iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch app for tracking intermittent fasting, does.

Funn Media’s years of experience developing apps like WaterMinder and Calory show in FastMinder. The app is beautifully designed, making it easy to set up a fasting window with popular presets or a completely custom schedule.

Once you set up your fast and begin, you can track your progress using FastMinder’s Home Screen widgets and Live Activity. Then, over time, you can chart your progress with FastMinder’s Stats tab, tracking the number of your fasts and their length, your current streak, weekly, monthly, and yearly totals, and more. FastMinder also incorporates weight, hydration, and setup tracking, providing the sort of context that many other apps don’t.

FastMinder also includes custom reminders to help keep you on track and insights into the benefits of each stage of a fast. And, with version 1.2, FastMinder will soon add Solar Fasting to its feature set.

If you’ve decided to explore the health benefits of intermittent fasting, make it easier to get started and stay on track by downloading FastMinder from the App Store today.

Our thanks to Funn Media and FastMinder for MacStories this week.
