Short answer. barehabits makes small iOS apps for everyday wellbeing. Each app does one thing. None needs an account, none shows ads, and each has a fair price. The first app is Bare Fast, an intermittent fasting tracker.
One app, one job
Most wellbeing apps grow until they do everything: a timer, a meal plan, a coach, a feed, a shop. Each new part asks for a little more of your attention.
A barehabits app does one job and stops there. Bare Fast times your fast. It does not plan your meals or count your calories. If you need those, other apps do them well.
No account, no ads
You open the app and start. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log in to. Your data stays on your iPhone. There are no ads and no tracking across apps. The Bare Fast privacy policy lists the little we do receive.
No pressure
No badges, no challenges. Bare Fast counts your days in a row, but rest days and a pause do not break the count, and nothing nags you to keep it. An app should not make you feel bad for a day off. An early end in Bare Fast reads «of 16 h», never «late» or «failed».
A fair price
The core of each app is free. Extra features cost a fair price, stated plainly, with no «last chance» offers. In Bare Fast, Pro is a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase, for people who would rather not subscribe.
One at a time
We make one app, finish it, and only then start the next. Each app gets its own colours, because each does a different job. They share the same calm.
What we write here
Guides that answer real questions, and honest comparisons with other apps. We say where other apps are better. We date every fact we check about them.
