Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

Fasto is a paid app with a single, one-off payment. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases and no premium tier: every feature and every future update is included in that one purchase.

Does it need an internet connection or an account?

No. Fasto works fully offline and there is no sign-up and no user account. The only thing that uses the network is iCloud sync, and that is optional.

Where is my data stored?

On your iPhone. If you turn on iCloud sync, a copy also lives in your own iCloud so that your fasts appear on your iPad too — never on any server of ours. You can turn sync off in Settings, and doing so deletes that iCloud copy. See the privacy policy.

I forgot to hit start. Can I fix the time?

Yes. On the Now tab, tap Adjust hours and change the start time or the length of the plan.

Which plan should I choose?

If you are starting from scratch, 12:12. Add an hour or two per week until you find one you can keep up comfortably. Consistency matters more than extreme duration.

Can I change the language without changing my iPhone's?

Yes. In Settings you can pick English, Spanish, French, Italian, German or Brazilian Portuguese, along with a light theme, a dark theme or the system one.

Where do the metabolic phases come from?

Each of the eight phases (0 to 72 hours) cites the published study it rests on, with a direct link to PubMed so you can read it yourself. You will find every reference together under About this information, at the foot of the Phases tab.

They remain educational, not a measurement: those studies describe groups of people, not you, and the exact moment each process happens varies a great deal from person to person.

Can I take my history to my doctor?

Yes. On the History tab, the share button produces a readable PDF report with your period covered, your frequency, how often you met your goal and your longest fasts. There is also a CSV export for spreadsheets.

How do I delete all my data?

Uninstalling the app removes everything stored on the device. If you used iCloud sync, turn it off in Settings first: that deletes the iCloud copy as well.
