Open Settings → Restore purchase. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple Account that made the purchase. Restoring works on every device you own.
Nothing is lost. Open a fast and change its start time to when you actually began — every fast can be edited, and both the start and the end can be back-dated. To record a fast you never timed at all, use Add a past fast at the top of History.
The notification at your goal is time-sensitive, so it breaks through Focus. If you want something louder, turn on Ring like an alarm in Settings — that sounds even when the phone is silenced. It needs iOS 26 or later and asks for permission the first time.
Widgets for your home and lock screen, the Insights tab, extra heads-up alerts before your goal, automatic iCloud backup, and the alternate app icon. The timer itself, every preset, the alarm, editing, your full history, fasting stages, the Live Activity, and CSV export are all free and always will be.
No. Holdfast Pro is a single one-time purchase. There is no monthly plan, and there never will be.
Settings → Export as CSV, free forever. The file goes wherever you send it — Files, email, or another app — and your data is never held hostage.
No. The timer, your history, and the alarm all work with no signal, because nothing lives on a server. Only buying or restoring Pro needs a connection.
No. Holdfast times fasts and records when they started and ended. It reads nothing from Apple Health and writes nothing to it.
No. They're plain descriptions of what is commonly understood to happen over a fast, shown for interest. Holdfast gives no health advice and sets no goals for you. Talk to a doctor before changing how you eat, especially if you're pregnant or managing a condition such as diabetes.
Holdfast collects nothing. Details in the privacy policy.
