If eating more mindfully is a goal you’ve set for yourself, Zero guides you through a personalised journey of intermittent fasting to promote fat-burning and weight loss. Based on scientific studies, the app focuses on helping you adopt healthier, more mindful habits.

What we love: Zero’s assistant that can answer any fasting-related questions. If you want to know whether you need to drink more water or increase your salt levels, or aren’t sure whether kombucha counts as breaking a fast, type or dictate your question to get an instant answer.

Quick tip: Zero is also an excellent health tracker and mood journal with achievement rings for tracking your nutrition, activity, sleep and mental health. You can also sync its data with the Health app on your iPhone for easy reference.

Meet the creator: Zero was made by Kevin Rose, creator of the meditation app Oak and social media site Digg. Zero and Oak are now owned by Rose’s friend Mike Maser, who also created Less to help people drink more mindfully.
