Why I Built Fastrack

I love food. Like, really love food. Pizza at midnight? Yes. Nasi babi guling for lunch? Absolutely. Bakmie as a late-night snack? Why not.

But I also love fitting into my clothes. And somewhere between my love for Indonesian street food and my expanding waistline, I discovered intermittent fasting.

The concept was simple: eat within a specific window, fast for the rest. 16:8 became my rhythm—fast for 16 hours, eat for 8. It worked. I was losing weight while still enjoying all my favorite foods. The magic wasn't in what I ate, but when I ate it.

But tracking my fasts? That was annoying. Every app I tried wanted my email, my weight, my goals, my life story. Some wanted subscriptions. Others bombarded me with notifications about "premium features."

I just wanted to know: "Am I fasting right now? How long have I been fasting? When can I eat again?" That's it.

So I built Fastrack. No login, no personal data, no premium features. Just a simple timer that tracks your fasts. Start it when you begin fasting, stop it when you're ready to eat. It remembers your progress locally, respects your privacy, and gets out of your way.

It's for people like me who want to practice intermittent fasting without the complexity. Who want to lose weight while still enjoying pizza. Who believe that the best tools are the ones that don't try to be everything to everyone.

Fastrack helped me lose 15kg while still eating all my favorite foods. Not because it's magical, but because it made intermittent fasting simple enough to stick with.
