HOME / FEATURES / INSIGHTS
Burn reads your own fasting history and writes what it finds as a sentence you can check. Every insight names the figures it was calculated from.
Not a score and not a verdict. Your averages, your completions, your records and your trends, stated plainly.
How an insight reads
Each insight is titled, dated, and written so you can verify it against your own history rather than take it on trust.
Your average fast length since you started, the size of the change, and the lifetime totals it is drawn from. This is the insight that shows a habit forming rather than a single good week.
How many fasts hit their target this month, as a count and a percentage, compared against last month. Completion is the number that predicts whether a schedule is actually working for you.
Your longest fast this month, the date it happened, the stage it reached, and how it sits against last month's best and your all-time record.
When your average drops, Burn says by how much, over how many fasts, and suggests checking whether sleep, stress or a change of schedule is behind it. It reports the dip rather than judging it.
Insights are calculated from the fasts you log. They are not a medical assessment, and Burn does not measure ketosis, autophagy, or metabolic state.
The breakdowns
Fasts, total hours, average length and how many hit target, each with the direction it moved. The fastest way to see whether this week is holding.
A bar per day with the hours on it, so a gap is visible as a gap rather than hidden inside an average.
Every fast you have logged sorted into short, medium, long and extended, with counts and percentages. This is where you find out what you actually do, as opposed to what you meant to do.
Your average rating and the moods you logged most often, counted. Burn keeps how a fast felt next to how long it ran, because the two together are more useful than either alone.
Month and lifetime
A single fast is a timer. Fifty of them is a pattern, and that is what these sections are for.
THIS MONTH
Fasts, hours and average side by side with the previous month's figures, plus your best fast and the pace you are on for the rest of the month.
LIFETIME
Total fasts, longest fast, and twelve personal records kept as you set them. Twelve personal records, kept as you set them, so a bad week does not erase what you have already done.
CONSISTENCY
Your current streak sits in the same view as your averages, so consistency and length are read together rather than one standing in for the other.
What Insights is not
Insights are computed from the fasts you have logged. They describe what your history contains, and nothing in them is a medical assessment.
An insight that says your average improved states both averages and the difference. You can check it, which is the point of writing them that way.
Your history is stored on your device, synchronized through iCloud if you enable it, and exportable as CSV at any time.
Insights fill in as you fast. The first week is a timer. As the fasts accumulate it becomes a pattern you can act on.
