Terms of Service

The short version

GentleFast is a fasting timer and educational tool. It's not medical advice. Don't use it if you're pregnant, have an eating disorder, or have a medical condition that makes fasting risky. If you break something, that's on you. If we break something, we'll fix it.

By using GentleFast you agree to:

• Be 18 years or older.
• Not use the app as a substitute for medical advice or treatment.
• Consult a healthcare professional before starting any fasting regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have diabetes, low blood pressure, an eating disorder, or any other medical condition.
• Use the app for intermittent fasting protocols within commonly recommended beginner ranges (12–16 hours). The app does not support extended fasting (36h+).
• Not reverse engineer, copy, or redistribute the app.
• Not use the app in ways that violate applicable laws.

Not medical advice

GentleFast provides a timer, a fasting plan, and general educational content about what happens in the body during fasting. None of this is medical advice. The app does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The educational content describes general physiological processes and is not tailored to your health situation. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting or changing a fasting practice.

Subscriptions

GentleFast offers a free tier (timer, plan, progress, widget, protein check, reminders) and a premium subscription for additional features. Premium subscriptions are billed through Apple's App Store using StoreKit 2.

• A 7-day free trial may be offered. After the trial, your selected plan is charged automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
• Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings at any time.
• Refunds are handled by Apple according to their refund policy.

Your data

See our Privacy Policy for how we handle data. By using GentleFast you consent to the data practices described there.

No warranty

GentleFast is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee the app will be bug-free, always available, or produce any specific health outcome. Fasting results depend on many factors beyond the app's control.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gentle Fast (the developer) is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the app, including but not limited to health issues, data loss, or any indirect or consequential damages. Your use of the app is at your own risk.

Educational content

The "Learn" section and body-state descriptions in the app are based on widely published information about intermittent fasting physiology. They are simplified for beginners and are not complete or definitive. Sources are general knowledge, not clinical guidance.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we'll update this page and the date above. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
