Looking for a Zero fasting app alternative? A plain comparison
Zero is the best known fasting app on the iPhone, and if you are looking for a Zero fasting app alternative, it is usually because you want less: just a timer and your history, without the extras. We make FastTrack, so here are the facts from both App Store listings, side by side.
Zero, by its own listing
On 25 October 2026 the US App Store showed Zero: Fasting & Food Tracker at 4.82 stars from 445,313 ratings. Its listing says Zero is free to download with fasting timers, streaks, weekly trends, expert articles and challenges included. Zero Plus, an optional subscription, unlocks photo meal logging and a Protein Score, water tracking, custom fasts and saved presets, Fat-Burning Mode, a mood journal, habit insights, premium articles and longer-range charts.
Zero has grown into a full nutrition app: fasting, protein, meals, hydration and habits in one place. If that is what you want, it is a strong choice.
FastTrack, by its own listing
FastTrack does one thing: fasting. Free, it gives you 16:8, 18:6 and 20:4 timers with a live countdown, full editing of past fasts, forgiving streaks and reminders, with no account and no ads. Premium adds OMAD, custom windows from 1 to 23 hours, the fasting stage timeline, statistics and CSV export.
