Easy Fast is a free intermittent fasting tracker for iPhone designed around simplicity. It supports the most common fasting protocols, stores your data locally on your device, and does not require an account. The app has over 1 million users and an App Store rating above 4.7 stars.

This review covers what Easy Fast does well, where it falls short, the pricing structure, and who it is built for.

What is Easy Fast?

Easy Fast is an iOS app that helps you track intermittent fasting windows. You choose a protocol, tap start, and the app times your fast in real time. When the window ends, you tap stop, and the fast is saved to your history.

Unlike many fasting apps, Easy Fast does not bundle in educational content, coaching, or community features. It is a tracker, not a platform. That is either its biggest strength or its biggest weakness depending on what you want.

The app is built and maintained by NextPixel Apps, an independent iOS developer focused on simple, privacy-respecting tools.

Core features

One-tap fasting timer. The app opens to a large timer and a single button. Tap to start, tap to stop. There is no setup screen between you and your fast.

Pre-configured protocols. Easy Fast supports the most common intermittent fasting schedules:

Fasting history. Every completed fast is saved with start time, end time, and duration. The app visualizes your history in charts so you can see consistency over time.

Smart reminders. Optional notifications remind you when to start a fast or when your eating window opens.

Dark mode. A full dark theme that respects iOS system settings.

Local data storage. All fasting data stays on your device. There is no cloud account, no server-side log, and no data sharing.

Pricing

Easy Fast follows a free-first pricing model. The full tracker is free without a subscription, trial timer, or feature paywalls on basic functionality.

Free tier includes:

Easy Fast Pro (optional subscription) adds:

The free version is fully usable on its own. Pro is for users who want deeper insights into their fasting patterns.

What Easy Fast does well

Simplicity. Most fasting apps front-load onboarding flows, account creation, and goal-setting. Easy Fast skips all of that. You can install the app and start your first fast within seconds.

Privacy. The on-device approach is rare in the fasting app category. Most competitors require accounts and store your fasting data in the cloud. If you treat health data as private, this is a meaningful difference.

No artificial paywalls. The free tier includes everything you need to track fasts daily. Many freemium apps lock basic features like protocol selection or history depth. Easy Fast does not.

Performance. The app is lightweight and opens instantly. There are no loading spinners or sync delays because there is no cloud to sync with.

Clean interface. The design avoids visual noise. The timer is the focus, and most other features are accessible without clutter.

Where Easy Fast falls short

iOS only. Easy Fast is not available on Android. If you switch phones or live in an Android-heavy household, this is a real limitation.

No cross-device sync. Because there is no account, your fasting history does not move between devices. If you upgrade your iPhone, your data restores from iCloud backup but does not sync live across devices.

No educational content. The app does not include articles, coaching, or guidance on fasting. Beginners may want to read about fasting elsewhere before starting.

No community features. There are no streaks shared with friends, leaderboards, or discussion groups. If you are motivated by social accountability, this is missing.

Advanced analytics are paywalled. Detailed trend analysis requires Pro. If you want deep data without paying, the free version's charts are functional but basic.

Who Easy Fast is for

How it compares

Compared to Zero, Easy Fast is simpler, more private, and more generous on the free tier, but lacks Zero's content library and Android availability. Compared to Fastic, Easy Fast skips the gamification and community in favor of a cleaner tool.

Verdict

Easy Fast does one thing and does it well: tracking intermittent fasts on iPhone with minimum friction. The free tier is genuinely complete, the privacy model is unusual in a good way, and the interface stays out of your way.

The trade-offs are real. No Android, no content, no community, and advanced analytics cost extra. But for users who want a clean, fast, private fasting tracker, Easy Fast is one of the strongest options on iOS.
