MEALPAUSE

A little help.

Start or finish a fast

Choose a target on Today, then tap Start fast. If you started earlier, choose “Already started?” to set the time. End fast opens a review before you save. Reaching a target does not automatically finish your session.

Add a widget

Open Mealpause once. Touch and hold your unlocked Lock Screen, tap Customize, then Lock Screen. Tap the widget area below the clock and choose Mealpause, then Fasting timer. The rectangular widget shows time spent fasting and a thin progress bar. Tap the date above the clock for the inline layout. Tap Done.

A widget looks out of date

Open Mealpause to refresh the shared session. iOS may delay updates after changing or ending a session. Check Today in the app for the current session and target finish. The progress bar fills at your goal; the timer continues until you end the fast. After a phone restart, unlock it once.

Reminders

Enable Target reminder in Mealpause Settings. If permission was denied, open iOS Settings to allow notifications for Mealpause. Focus and notification settings can affect delivery.

Correct or remove a session

Tap a session in History to edit its start, end, or target, or delete it. Times must not overlap another session. Settings → Delete all data removes all sessions and preferences and cancels reminders.

Where is my data?

Records stay on this phone and are excluded from backups. They cannot be restored after deleting the app. Mealpause has no account or cloud sync.
