Fasting timer
Start a fast, watch the elapsed time, and end it when you eat. Your past fasts are kept so you can see your pattern.
Fasting
A fasting timer and calorie tracker in one app
Byte Balance pairs an intermittent-fasting timer with photo, barcode and search food logging, so you can see both how long you’ve fasted and what you ate in your eating window. It works for 16:8 fasting and for Ramadan, and the whole app is available in Arabic.
Eating-window logging
Photograph suhoor or iftar, scan a date-syrup bottle, or search a dish — the calories and macros go against the same daily target.
Arabic, right to left
Every screen is translated into Arabic with a full RTL layout.
Hydration
Fasting days make water easy to forget. Track it with one tap after iftar.
Family
Iftar is a shared meal. Log the dish once and split it across your household by portion.
Weekly view
See how your intake and weight trend across the month, not just one day.
Tracking nutrition in Ramadan
During Ramadan, most eating happens in two meals — suhoor before dawn and iftar at sunset — with the fast in between. Common difficulties are a very large iftar, too little protein and too little water. A tracker helps with all three because it shows the day as a total rather than meal by meal.
- Start the timer at suhoor and end it at iftar, using your local timetable.
- Log iftar by photo — shared platters are hard to estimate, so review each item’s portion.
- Watch protein across both meals; the macro view makes a low day obvious.
- Add water between iftar and suhoor.
Fasting is not suitable for everyone. If you have diabetes or another health condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take regular medication, talk to your doctor first.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a calorie tracker that works during Ramadan?
Yes. Byte Balance has a fasting timer you can start at suhoor and end at iftar, logs the meals you eat in between by photo, barcode or search, and is fully available in Arabic with a right-to-left layout. Your daily calorie and macro targets stay the same whether you eat across two meals or five.
Does Byte Balance support 16:8 intermittent fasting?
Yes. You can run a 16:8 fast — or any other length — with the fasting timer, see how long you have been fasting, and review past fasts.
Does the app show prayer, suhoor or iftar times?
No. Byte Balance does not calculate prayer or fasting times for your location. You start and end each fast yourself, so use your local mosque’s or a prayer-time app’s timetable.
Is fasting safe for everyone?
No. People with diabetes, who are pregnant or breastfeeding, who have a history of eating disorders, or who take regular medication should speak to a doctor before fasting. Byte Balance is general nutrition information and not medical advice.
