When you scroll down on the main tracking interface, the circular widget collapses into multiple sections at the top of the screen. It’s a great visual but also lets you keep an eye on it while you’re entering data or looking at other information. It also pulls in your hydration, weight, and steps. This can be entered into the app or pull natively from the Health app. The last great page I saw was the stats tab. This look every much like the stock Health interface. Is it a copout to just copy Apple’s sleek design? Maybe… but it also looks great and makes a more cohesive user experience throughout iOS. It has small rounded rectangular boxes on top with numbers and icon and then graphs below forecasted over various periods of time.

Ok, wrapping this up with all of the ways FastMinder ties into iOS, rather than just support for the Health app. All of your data syncs, not just with Health, but iCloud too. So all of your schedules and other data is being backed up and moves between your various devices. It supports system-wide dark mode so it changes as your phone does. There are new interactive widgets — fresh for iOS 17 — and Live Activities for the Lock Screen. Lastly, it has a gorgeous Apple Watch app. It has these slick gradient backgrounds you don’t often see on Apple’s wearable and is much more full featured than other watchOS apps.

If you want to try fasting, or you already are trying it, this is the app I’d recommend. It seems like it will give you your best shot versus staring blindly at the clock and counting down the minutes until you can eat again.
