The timer

A ring that glows
hotter as you fast.

Every fast has a shape. Temper maps yours onto a progress ring that changes color as you move through metabolic phases, from the cool blue of early digestion, through teal and green as fat burning kicks in, into the gold of ketosis and the ember of autophagy and recovery. The heat ramp is not decorative. It tells you where you actually are.

Progress ring

Metabolic phases

Seven phases from fed and sugar settling through fat burning, ketosis, autophagy and recovery, each marked with a time threshold and a short description.

Heat ramp

Cool blue at the start, warming through teal and green, settling into gold and ember as your fast matures. Visual rhythm you can feel.

Ring styles

The idea

Why intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating where you cycle between periods of eating and not eating. Most approaches simply narrow the window during which you eat, without restricting what you eat. It is practiced for a range of personal reasons, and Temper does not make any health claims about it.

Simple by design

The whole protocol reduces to one question: are you in your eating window or not? Temper answers that question with a single glance at the ring. No calorie counting, no food logging, just a timer you can trust.

Private by default

Your fasting log stays on your device. No ads, no trackers, no analytics. The one exception is the optional fasting buddy, which uses a server only when you switch it on and can be deleted anytime. What you do with your body is your business.

Fasting stages

Where are you in your fast?

Temper tracks seven distinct phases. Tap any point on the timeline to learn what your body is doing at that phase.

Fed (0h)
Your fast has just begun and your body is still processing your last meal. Insulin is elevated and your body runs on the energy from what you ate.

Tap or click any stage to explore it. Keyboard: Tab to focus, arrow keys to navigate.

Frequently asked questions

What is intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating where you cycle between defined periods of eating and not eating. Common approaches include 16:8 (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating) and 18:6. It focuses on when you eat rather than what you eat. Temper tracks your fasting window and shows you which stage you are in, without making any health or medical claims about the practice.

Which fasting protocols does Temper support?

Temper includes built-in plans for 16:8, 18:6, and OMAD (one meal a day) for free. Pro unlocks long protocols, fully custom windows you set yourself, and a weekly rhythm that assigns a different plan to each day of the week.

How does the fasting timer work?

Tap the ring to start your fast. The progress ring fills over time and changes color as you move through metabolic phases, from the cool blue of early digestion through green fat burning to the gold of ketosis and the ember of autophagy. Tap again to end your fast. The session is logged automatically.

What are the metabolic phases Temper shows?

Temper tracks seven phases: Fed (0h, your body is processing your last meal), Sugar settling (around 4h, insulin falls), Reserves drop (around 8h, liver glycogen declines), Fat burning (around 12h, metabolism shifts to fat), Ketosis (around 16h, the liver forms ketones), Autophagy (around 18h, cellular cleanup intensifies), and Recovery and hormones (around 24h). The exact timing varies by person and is shown as a general guideline, not medical advice.

Does Temper tell me what to eat?

No. Temper is a timing tool, not a nutrition or diet app. It tracks when you fast, not what you eat. For any questions about nutrition or how fasting fits your health situation, consult a qualified healthcare provider.

Is Temper free?

Yes. The core fasting timer, phase tracking, history, streaks, trends, and reminders are all free. Pro is optional and adds smart insights, a weight curve, streak protection, a weekly rhythm, a home screen widget, custom accent colors and export. It is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime unlock. There are no ads either way.

Does Temper collect any data?

Your fasting sessions, plans, and stats are stored locally on your device, with no ads, no analytics and no tracking. The only data that can leave your phone is the optional fasting buddy: if you turn it on, a small profile (a display name, your current streak and plan label, never your individual sessions) syncs so your buddy can see it, and you can delete it anytime. See the privacy policy for the full details.

Does it work offline?

Yes, completely. Temper works without any internet connection. The timer, stage tracking, history, and notifications all run entirely on your device.
