Why track your Ramadan fasts at all?
Fasting Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, and every missed day is a real debt (qada) to be made up later. Yet the practical side is genuinely hard: suhoor and iftar shift by a minute or two every single day, travel and illness interrupt the month, and women have days to make up by design. Without a record, "how many days do I owe?" becomes guesswork.
A dedicated tracker turns the month into a simple checklist. You see your streak, your completed count, and any gaps — so when Shawwal arrives you know precisely where you stand.
What a good Ramadan tracker must do
- Know the Hijri calendar. Ramadan's dates move ~11 days earlier each Gregorian year. The app should flag the month automatically.
- Compute your local fasting window. The fast runs from Fajr (dawn) to Maghrib (sunset) at your location — not a generic timetable.
- Remind you before it matters. A suhoor alert before Fajr closes and an iftar alert the moment Maghrib arrives.
- Record completions and gaps. One tap to mark a fast complete; missed days stay visible so you can plan make-ups.
- Show your progress. Stats and streaks keep motivation high in the long middle stretch of the month.
Ramadan is also the world's largest intermittent fast
Researchers study Ramadan as "diurnal intermittent fasting" — and reviews link it to improvements in body composition, lipid profiles and even mood. SAWM 360 leans into this: every fast shows its estimated duration (e.g. 14.2 hours from a 4:50 AM Fajr to a 7:01 PM Maghrib) and a Deep Fast view of what's happening in your body, so you get the spiritual and the health picture of your month.

Frequently asked questions
Can SAWM 360 track missed (qada) Ramadan days?
Yes — days you don't mark completed stay visible on the calendar, so you always know how many fasts you owe and can complete them on any permissible day after Ramadan.
Does the tracker work outside Ramadan?
Absolutely. SAWM 360 tracks sunnah fasting all year: Mondays & Thursdays, white days, Shawwal, Arafah and Ashura, plus regular intermittent fasting. See the sunnah fasting guide.
What time is suhoor today?
Suhoor ends when Fajr begins at your location. Open the Today tab and the app shows your exact local Fajr time — and can remind you before it. More on suhoor & iftar times.
