FAST FROM

Help

Fast From pauses access to selected apps for the time you choose. Find instructions for starting a fast, scheduling recurring fasts, reviewing progress, using Apple Watch, and resolving common issues.

Start your first fast

1. Open Fast From.
2. Allow Screen Time access when your device presents the request.
3. Tap Start a fast.
4. Choose the apps you want to pause.
5. Choose a duration or an exact ending time.
6. Add an optional reason and start the fast.

During an active fast

Fast From shows the selected apps and the time remaining. Opening a selected app displays the Fast From restriction screen. Access returns when the fast reaches its scheduled ending time.

Open Fast options to extend the fast or begin the early-ending steps.

Screen Time access

Fast From uses Apple Family Controls, Device Activity, and Managed Settings to apply the timed restrictions you choose.

End a fast early

For a personal fast:

1. Open Fast From and find the active fast.
2. Tap Fast options.
3. Press and hold Press and hold to end fast.
4. Tap End fast now to confirm.

The selected apps become available again. An app included in another active fast stays paused until that fast ends.

Use an accountability partner code

Add the code while reviewing a new fast:

1. Choose your apps and ending time, then continue to Review fast.
2. Tap Add accountability partner.
3. Hand the device to your accountability partner.
4. Your partner creates a six-digit code, enters it twice, and keeps it private.
5. After Protection ready appears, tap Start this fast.

To end a partner-protected fast early, open the active fast and tap Fast options. Ask your partner to enter the six-digit code, then tap Verify code and end fast.

Five incorrect attempts start a 60-second waiting period. Fast From stores a protected one-way version of the code on the device, so your partner needs to remember the six digits.

Recurring fasts

Tap Schedule a fast from Home. Choose the apps, starting time, ending time, and days. Use the recurring-fast switch to activate or pause the schedule. Tap Edit scheduleto change it.

Install Fast From on Apple Watch

The Apple Watch companion is included with Fast From. Install Fast From through TestFlight on the iPhone paired with your Apple Watch.

1. With Automatic App Install active, Fast From installs on the paired Apple Watch automatically.
2. To install it yourself, open the Watch app on iPhone and tap My Watch.
3. Scroll to Available Apps, find Fast From, and tap Install.
4. Open Fast From on iPhone, then open Fast From on Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch app shows active fasts and can start a recent fast. Choose apps and edit recurring schedules in Fast From on iPhone or iPad.

Apple also provides instructions for installing apps on Apple Watch.

History, Fast Points, and badges

Open Fast history to review completed fasts, total time fasted, your longest fast, Fast Points, levels, and badges. Optional reasons and reflections stay on your device.

Troubleshooting

A selected app remains available

Open Fast From and confirm that the fast is active and includes the app. Confirm that Screen Time access remains approved for Fast From.

Access remains paused after the ending time

Open Fast From and review the ending time shown on the active fast. Restart the device, reopen Fast From, and contact us if access remains paused.

A recurring fast did not begin

Open Home, confirm that the recurring-fast switch is active, and review its days, starting time, and included apps.

The Apple Watch app is not current

Open Fast From on the paired iPhone, then open Fast From on Apple Watch. Confirm that both devices use the current app version.
