Questions, answered

Is Hourglass free?

Yes. Download it for free and track your fasts, stages, history and streaks at no cost.

Is there an Android app?

Not yet. Hourglass is on iPhone today, and Android is on our list.

Does it work in Arabic?

Fully: a right-to-left layout, Arabic notifications, and Ramadan prayer times.

Do I need an account?

Yes, so your fasts are saved and synced. Sign in with Apple, Google or email.

Does it work with Apple Watch?

Yes. The watch app shows your fast with its ring and stage, lets you start, pause and end it, and taps your wrist at your goal and at each new stage. Add a complication to keep it on your watch face.

Does it read my Health data?

Only if you turn it on, in Settings → Apple Health, with one switch for each kind of data. Steps, active energy and sleep are read on your iPhone and never leave it. Weight syncs both ways with Health and is saved to your Hourglass account, like any weight you log.

Is intermittent fasting safe for me?

Hourglass is a wellness tool, not medical advice. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic, or have a medical condition or a history of eating disorders, talk to your doctor before fasting.
