Upvas
Intermittent fasting calibrated for Indian dinner times.
An intermittent-fasting app built around real Indian eating patterns — 9pm dinners, morning chai, Ekadashi and Navratri fasts — with vegetarian and Jain modes, a metabolic-stage timer, and Apple Health sync.
Upvas offers an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your App Store or Google Play account; it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your account settings. Terms and Privacy Policy.

How it works
Up and running in under two minutes.
- 01
Set your dinner time
Pick your real meal schedule (9pm by default) and a protocol — 16:8, 18:6, OMAD, or a religious fast.
- 02
Start your fast
One tap. The ring fills clockwise and changes colour as your body moves through each metabolic stage.
- 03
See what holds
After two weeks the data shows which windows your body actually keeps — and which ones you break.
A note from the studio
“Every fasting app is built around a 6pm Western dinner. NRI and Indian families eat at 9pm, fast on ekadashi, and need a vegetarian mode — so we made the one that actually fits.”
Questions
The honest answers.
How is this different from other fasting apps?
Upvas is built around Indian meal timing and observances — 9pm dinners, Ekadashi, Navratri — and ships with vegetarian, vegan, and Jain recipe filtering. Most apps assume a 6pm Western dinner.
Where is my fasting and weight data stored?
On your device, in an encrypted local database. Optional iCloud sync (preferences and recent sessions only) stays between your own devices.
Does it use Apple Health?
Optionally. With your permission it can read your weight and write mindful minutes. Your fasting log itself is never sent anywhere.
Do you show ads or sell my data?
No ads, no data sale. Analytics are anonymous and can be turned off in Settings.
Is this medical advice?
No. Upvas is a wellness and tracking tool. Fasting isn't right for everyone — talk to your doctor before starting, especially if you're pregnant, diabetic, or have a medical condition.

Reading Your Intermittent Fasting Progress Chart Honestly
Your intermittent fasting progress chart probably shows a streak. What it rarely shows is whether you're actually fasting — or just starting timers and calling it close.

The Fasting Data Your Doctor Actually Wants to See
Most fasting apps give you streaks. But the fasting data your doctor wants is completion rate, weight trend, and why you broke the fast — not just when.
