Intermittent fasting changed my body composition more than any diet I’d ever tried.
No calorie counting. No meal prep. No forbidden foods. Just… eating in a window.
I lost 15 pounds in two months without thinking about food constantly. First time that ever happened.
Then I tried the apps
Every fasting app I downloaded felt like it was designed by people who’d never actually fasted.
They wanted me to:
- Log my mood before and after eating
- Track my ketone levels (I don’t own a ketone meter)
- Read articles about autophagy during my fast
- Join a “fasting community” to share my progress
I don’t want a fasting lifestyle platform. I want to know one thing:
When can I eat?
That’s it. That’s the entire product requirement.
So I built FastTrack
The app does three things:
- Pick your protocol. 16:8. 18:6. 20:4. OMAD. One tap.
- Start the timer. Big button. Can’t miss it.
- Get notified when your window opens. “Time to eat.” Done.
There’s streak tracking because streaks work. Nothing motivates like not wanting to break a 30-day streak.
There’s a history view so you can see your consistency. That’s it.
No community. No articles. No mood logging. No ketone tracking. No gamification.
The anti-feature approach
I think most apps fail because they add too much. Every feature is a potential point of friction. Every option is cognitive load.
FastTrack succeeds by removing things.
No account required — your data stays on your device. No subscription — pay once, own forever. No notifications except the one that matters — your eating window.
Constraints breed clarity.
Results
I’ve been using FastTrack for my own fasting for six months. My consistency went from “I try to fast most days” to actual streaks of 60+ days.
The difference? Friction. When the app is simple, you use it. When it’s complicated, you don’t.
FastTrack is launching soon. Get early access.
