A fasting app without calorie counting

Many fasting apps have grown into diet platforms. If you want a tracker that only tracks, here is what to look for.

Short answer

Yes. Bide is an intermittent fasting tracker with no calorie counting, no food logging and no account. It has a fasting timer with stages, an eating-window countdown, a water tracker, a weight trend, streaks and reminders. It is a subscription with a free trial.

Why a simpler fasting tracker

Intermittent fasting has one rule: when you eat. An app for it needs to answer two questions quickly, how long have I fasted and when can I eat. Food diaries, meal scans and daily lessons add work without answering either.

What to look for

A timer that survives closing the app and restarting your phone
Start and end times you can correct afterwards
The plans you actually use, plus a custom window
Water tracking on the same screen
History, streaks and a weight trend, without requiring a sign-up
A price shown before you commit, and an easy way to cancel

What Bide leaves out on purpose

No calorie or macro tracking
No food logging or meal photos
No AI coach or chat
No social feed or challenges
No account, no email, no cloud sync. Your data stays on your phone.

What it costs

Bide is a paid app with a free trial. There is no free tier. The price and trial length are shown in the app before you subscribe, and you can cancel from Settings.
