The Best Christian Fasting and Spiritual Disciplines Apps
Lenten challenges, 90-day asceticism programs, and structured fasts.
Fasting apps turn spiritual discipline into structure - giving you a reason, a plan, and a place to track your progress. Spirit Fast leads with freedom and prayer-centered design, perfect for dipping a toe in; Exodus 90 offers an intensive 90-day overhaul built explicitly for men, including prayer, fitness, and accountability; Lent Companion appears every spring with seasonal rhythm and guided reflection. The choice is whether you want everyday practice, a seasonal challenge, or deep personal work.
Most apps are free or under $15, and several are seasonal (appearing only during Lent or Advent). Start with Spirit Fast if you're new to fasting, or check the comparison table to see whether you want a daily practice, a time-bounded challenge, or guided Catholic or Christian Orthodox observance.

Spirit Fast
Spirit Fast is a fasting tracker built around prayer and Scripture rather than calories - and that single reframe changes the whole experience.
Exodus 90
The 90-day asceticism, prayer, and fraternity program built specifically for Catholic men - a structured tour through cold showers, Scripture, and small-group accountability that has quietly become the most demanding spiritual app on either app store.
Lent Companion
A seasonal Catholic devotional that goes live for forty days and then disappears - the only Lent app built like a printed missal you carry in your pocket.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Christian fasting app?
Spirit Fast is the most accessible for beginners and everyday practice. Exodus 90 is excellent if you want an intensive, structured 90-day program; Lent Companion is the go-to for seasonal, liturgical fasting during Lent.
Are fasting apps free?
Spirit Fast is free. Exodus 90 and Lent Companion charge a subscription or one-time fee, but most run under $15. Check the comparison table for exact pricing.
Do I need an app to fast?
No, but an app helps you stay accountable and remember why you're fasting. It's especially useful if you want daily prayer prompts, community support, or a guided plan rather than going it alone.
Can I fast for reasons other than Lent?
Yes. Fasting is a year-round spiritual discipline in many traditions. Spirit Fast supports custom fasts anytime; Exodus 90 runs on its own schedule regardless of the liturgical calendar. Check the app to see whether you can fast outside Lent.
