Simple Fasting & Meal tracker is a wellbeing app that fuses intermittent fasting and mindful eating in one handy, personalized solution to help people make educated and healthy lifestyle changes.
@hroland_ Zero guys make a wonderful product, but we go a little further in content, personalization and lifestyle context around intermittent fasting. I will be glad to hear feedback from you at my inbox mentioned above. Thanks!
Hey Product Hunters! I’m Alex, and I know how tough it can be to start building healthy lifestyle habits and losing weight after more than 30 years of taking your body and health for granted. Although I’m glad I made the right call and have already lost over 55 pounds, I had to learn my lessons the hard way. :)
I know very well how frustrating it gets to torture yourself with strict diets day in day out only to be brought back to square one again and again. For me, any diet out there would always end the same way: I tapped out and only had a massive dent in my self-esteem for a consolation prize. And, contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t actually relieving to know I wasn’t alone in this. Over 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, struggled with excess pounds in 2016, and the numbers have only tripled for the past 40 years, with 95% of diet adopters eventually returning to their initial weight.
Like I said before, I had to take the hard way, so other people wouldn’t have to. And now I’m using that hard-earned experience to build an app that can help people around the world see the real power of intermittent fasting as a tool for achieving their long-term weight-loss goals, and live longer, healthier and happier lives. Who needs the ‘hard way’ when you can take the ‘right way’ instead?
TL;DR: we help people build healthy habits that last a lifetime. It’s the only methodology that works – trust me, I’ve seen them all :)
Key features:
- Fasting tracker - Guides you every day, telling you when to eat and when to fast. It will adapt to your life and adjust your fasting times based on your lifestyle. 30+ fasting plans made available and still counting.
- Meal & Drink tracker - we know that intermittent fasting is the foundation of your healthy lifestyle, but unlike others, we also care about your eating interval: fasting and eating come hand in hand and depend on each other. Also, it’s crucial to stay hydrated while fasting, so we offer a fully functional drink tracker keeping you on track with your water balance.
- Personalized insights - We offer you AI-powered personal health insights based on your goals and eating context to help you focus on improving the quality of your life.
- Program adoption - We tailor a personal intermittent fasting plan for you, based on your details, your progress, and your eating patterns logged within the app.
- Personalized content - Get educated and motivated with exclusive, scientifically-backed content delivered daily and based on your goals, lifestyle and overall progress.
We use a subscription-based monetization model, trying to keep our prices low. Right now it’s $39.99/year with a 7-day trial period and $29.99/year without trial.
I’m excited to hear your thoughts, comments, and suggestions at alex@simple.life. Or if you’d just like to chat – that’s cool too!

Seems like a good product, I just wish the pricing was more upfront before I go through the steps of filling my info and making an account. I understand this is a way to force interest and payment, but I feel it's shady and made me not want to bother.
@david_ramalho1 thank you for your feedback, David. You can easily skip the paywall after onboarding and have benefits of the grace period. We have to collect the information to choose an intermittent fasting plan/program, that's part of our offering we ask you to pay for. Basic features are still free, though. We think it's a fair compromise. :) Thanks for your interest anyway
@ilinski I don't mind that it's a paid service by any means, it looks well polished and thought out. I would just appreciate the signup and pricing portion to come before making the user fill out a bunch of information. Just transparency in products and services - stand by your pricing and be forward about it before the onboarding process.
Hey there! 👋
My name is Stas and all over the last year I have been creating Simple.
If you have any questions about the product, I'll be happy to answer. And of course, I will be very happy with your ideas and suggestions for improving the product 😊
Nice product. Good to see you thought about the bigger 'eating' picture rather than just building another fasting/timer app. I really like the focus on mindfulness.
@kieranmcgrady thanks for understanding the idea, Kieran! It actually helps our users stay on track, being a good development of intermittent fasting as a basic nutrition pattern.
Very interesting. One of the biggest issue with a newbie to intermittent fasting is being able to stay hungry post 12 hours. What solution do you guys provide for hunger management?
Great content, appropriate notifications and smooth UX. Being using the app for about 1 month and lost 4.5kgs. Some feedback: would love to see more about the RIGHT things to eat during the non-fasting windows.
@lewis_yim Thanks, Lewis, I'm happy to see you enjoy the app and achieve results with us :) Your feedback is noted and appreciated, we'll definitely consider it. Thanks again, have a nice day!
This by far the best app for fasters and I’ve tried a few. It’s easy to use. the content and information shared is funny, interesting and very relevant and educational. Notifications are appropriate and you can personalise your plan as it best suits you. Ive been fasting for many years but with no knowledge about what was doing to my body and its benefits. since i have the app I've learned so much about it and this has pushed me to go further as the benefits are clearly amazing! The only thing i would like to have on the app is the ability to communicate/add friends and create a community with the other app users. Ive been sharing the app with all my friends in hope we could track our progress together but soon i realised it was not possible, which is a shame. But im still super happy with the app and recommend it to everyone.
I have use a lot of health app apps over the last 5years and overtime Either I got bored or was not satisfied but this app not only has show me how to properly work on my body but my eating habits and I cannot be more satisfied I recommend this abs to so many people I am so happy thank you simple
