Mac tracker guide

Fasting tracking on Mac

Start or log fasting sessions and understand active timing, weekly consistency, completion results, trends, and history.

The Mac Fasting tracker separates a session that is happening now from sessions that are already complete. Every record has a plan and start time; completed records also have an end time. Those facts drive duration, completion percentage, weekly markers, plan results, and trends.

Choose between a live session and a completed log before entering times; the two paths produce different intermediate states.

Fasting plans are tracking labels.

12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, 5:2, and ADF describe target durations in the app. They are not recommendations and do not establish that fasting is appropriate for you.

Start a live fast

1. Open Trackers → Fasting and choose Start Fast.
2. Select the plan that matches the session you intend to record.
3. Confirm the actual start date and time, then save.
4. Follow the Active Fast card for elapsed time, remaining time, recorded start, and calculated target end.
5. Choose End Fast when the session finishes, confirm the end time, and save.

Only one fast can be active at a time. BeFit Tracker rejects overlapping sessions so the same period is not represented twice.

The selected plan sets the target duration. The start time should describe when the session actually began.

Ending the active fast supplies its final boundary and turns it into a completed History record.

Log a session that already ended

1. Choose Log Fast.
2. Select the plan, start date and time, and end date and time.
3. Make sure the end follows the start and that the range does not overlap an existing session.
4. Save and verify the plan, duration, and completion percentage in History.

Log Fast records both boundaries at once and is the correct choice for backfilling a completed session.

Understand the workspace

• Active Fast shows the one unfinished session, if present.
• Completion percentage compares actual duration with the selected plan’s target. It measures timing, not health benefit.
• Weekly Plan marks days containing completed sessions and lets you move through weeks.
• Fast Type Results groups completed sessions by plan, then ranks up to four types by average completion and completed count.
• Trend uses completed sessions across Week, Month, 6 Months, or Year.
• History preserves exact plan, start, end, duration, and active state.

The overview summarizes the plan and pattern; History remains the place to verify exact session times.

Results compare recorded timing by plan. A higher completion percentage is not a medical score.

Correct or delete a session

History preserves the selected plan and exact session boundaries used for duration and completion calculations.

1. Find the session in History and choose Edit.
2. Correct its plan, start time, or end time. An active session has no end time until it is finished.
3. Save, then check duration, completion, the weekly marker, plan results, and trend.
4. Choose Delete and confirm only when the entire session should be removed.

Use fasting history with other trends

Longer ranges can show when fasting was part of your routine and how closely saved sessions matched their selected plans. Place those dates beside your own food, sleep, weight, or mindfulness history when useful, but do not interpret a visual relationship as proof of safety, effectiveness, or cause.

The timer cannot evaluate your health.

Fasting is a Beta tracker. Stop or change a session based on your needs and appropriate professional guidance, not because the app displays a remaining time or target end.
