Maximizing Your Fasting Experience with Widgets

In the modern world, speed of information can either break or make your fasting regimen. The FastZen widget takes your fasting journey to your home screen, providing a seamless experience that keeps you consistent with a simple glance at your phone.

The Power of Visual Cues

For creating any new habit, visibility is everything. Behavioral science proves that visual reminders in the environment have an enormous impact on our ability to maintain new habits. By placing the FastZen widget on your home screen, you're providing a perpetual visual reminder of your dedication to intermittent fasting.

Unlike measuring progress within the app itself —a widget provides instant feedback. Instant visibility makes fasting become part of your identity and not something else you try to remember to do. You'll simply become more aware of your fasting schedule as it becomes part of your daily visual landscape.

The Convenience Factor

The real value of the FastZen widget is the reduction of friction. If you can take a quick look at your ongoing fasting status, you are less likely to unintentionally break your fast. The widget displays your ongoing status and remaining time, so there is no need to constantly open the app during the day.

This convenience is especially helpful when you have difficult fasting periods or hectic days where you would otherwise lose track of time. The widget makes your fasting data available without interrupting your work or activity flow.

The widget also provides a quick shortcut to the app itself—a tap opens the timer screen in the app where you can view more information or make adjustments as necessary.
