Fastient Review (2026)
Pen-and-paper-inspired fasting journal — charming if you like that aesthetic.
6.5 / 10
Fastient is the most idiosyncratic app in the fasting category — a fasting journal with the aesthetic of a paper bullet-journal. The free tier is genuinely minimal; the appeal is in the writing experience.
For most users, Zero is the better choice. See fasting rankings.
