Welcome to Fasting Pals — What the App Does
A quick tour of everything Fasting Pals offers — from solo tracking to group fasts, games, points, and the knowledge base.
What is Fasting Pals?
Fasting Pals is a social fasting tracker built around one idea: fasting is easier and more fun when you do it with other people. You can track your own fasts privately, start a group fast with friends, join public fasts from strangers, chat during a fast, play games to pass the time, and earn points and badges as you go. Everything in the app works around your active fast — the timer on your home screen is the hub of everything.
The home screen
When you have an active fast, your home screen shows a countdown timer, your current fasting stage (with a description of what is happening in your body right now), how much time is remaining, and how many fasting buddies are in your fast with you. When no fast is active, the home screen shows recent public fasts you can join and your personal stats.
The five main sections
The bottom navigation bar gives you access to the five main areas of the app. Home is your dashboard and timer. Fasts is where you browse and join public fasts. Friends is where you manage your friend list and send direct messages. Profile is your personal page with your stats, badges, and points history. The blue + button in the middle starts a new fast.
