Vrata: Moon-based Fasting Coach
Lunar Fasting
Nature-Aligned Fasting
Vrata is the only fasting app that aligns your fast with both
your body's metabolic state and the Panchang tithi calendar.
Each day, Vrata gives you precise dietary guidance, a live
metabolic phase reading, and a Sanskrit-grounded insight — all
computed on your device from the lunar calendar and your fasting
state. Your health data never leaves your iPhone.
HOW IT WORKS
Open the app. If today is Ekadashi, Purnima, Pradosh, or another
sacred day, Vrata recommends the appropriate fast with dietary
guidelines, duration, and scripture references. Tap Begin to
track your fast with a live timer and metabolic phase insights
drawn from clinical research.
SIRI & APPLE INTELLIGENCE
Ask Siri "What's today's tithi?" or "Start my Ekadashi fast"
without opening the app. After a few fasts, Siri learns your
rhythm and suggests your next one automatically. On supported
devices, Vrata generates a private on-device AI insight for your
exact lunar moment — the Sanskrit term, your metabolic phase,
the ancient source — no internet, no servers.

PRIVACY FIRST
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No data collection. Vrata
processes everything on your device — including our Apple
Intelligence features, which never send prompts to any server.
We don't have servers that could be breached, because we don't
have servers that store your data at all.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Families observing Ekadashi, Purnima, Pradosh, and Somvar vrats
• Diaspora seeking a modern tool for traditional practice
• Wellness seekers exploring lunar-aligned intermittent fasting
from a scientific and traditional perspective
• Anyone who wants to understand why fasting works — through
both science and scripture
SCIENCE-BACKED, TRADITION-RESPECTED
Vrata avoids pseudoscience. Metabolic claims are grounded in
published clinical research and presented conservatively.
Tradition is sourced from authentic Panchang computation and
classical references — not invented features.

What's New in Vrata 2.0.3
Siri & Apple Intelligence
Ask Siri about your practice without opening the app:
• "What's today's tithi in Vrata"
• "What can I eat today in Vrata"
• "When's the next sacred day in Vrata"
• "Start my Ekadashi fast in Vrata"
• "My fasting streak in Vrata"
After a few fasts, Siri learns your rhythm and begins
proactively suggesting your fast on the morning it's due —
no reminders to set up.
On-Device AI Insight Card
Vrata now generates a personalized Vedic insight for your
exact moment — the tithi, your fasting phase, the nakshatra —
using Apple Intelligence entirely on your device. No internet,
no data leaving your phone. Includes the Sanskrit term for
your state and its ancient source text. On devices without
Apple Intelligence, the curated contemplation quotes appear
instead — no empty states.
Smarter Dietary Guidance
• Nirjala Ekadashi now correctly shows a CRITICAL warning —
water is prohibited, not just grain
• Sankashti Chaturthi and Vinayaka Chaturthi have distinct
profiles with the correct fasting rules for each
• Shani Pradosh (Saturday) and Som Pradosh (Monday) now
surface their special significance with extra context
• All warnings are colour-coded: red for absolute
prohibitions, amber for timing cautions, gold for context
that deepens your practice
Live Tithi Countdown
The "X hours left" display now updates every minute in real
time. At under 15 minutes it turns red and reads "Changing
soon." No more stale timers.
