Understand the record
A forgotten tap can leave the running display shorter than the session you meant to track. Fastly lets you edit the current start without ending and creating a second record.
Use the controls deliberately
Open the running timer's start adjustment, choose the actual date and time, and check the resulting elapsed value. Make sure an overnight session has the correct calendar date.
Completed records can be edited through History. An end must follow its start and cannot be in the future; the controller reorders history after a valid correction so the list follows completion time.
Check a practical example
After correction, review the goal time too. Moving the start changes when the same duration is reached, so a previously expected reminder may no longer match your mental schedule.
| Check | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Correct date | Especially important overnight |
| Check elapsed | Confirm the adjustment |
Keep the meaning clear
Keep only the correction that reflects the actual event. The app blocks a future start, but it cannot know whether a plausible past timestamp is accurate.
Fastly keeps one current session, then adds a completed record to History when you stop. The record includes its own protocol and goal, so a later default choice can coexist with earlier settings.
A worked walkthrough
Imagine you pressed start after an event had already begun and know the earlier timestamp from a reliable reference. Adjust the current start rather than stopping, creating a replacement timer, and trying to explain two fragments later. Read the date picker carefully if the earlier instant was before midnight. After saving, compare the elapsed value with the difference you expected and check whether the goal is now already reached. If the goal instant moved into the past, do not expect a newly scheduled notification to announce that past instant. The note can explain why the adjustment was made if the correction matters to later interpretation. If the actual earlier time is unknown, preserve that uncertainty instead of making a series of increasingly precise guesses. A valid timestamp is not automatically an accurate timestamp.
Fastly is a lifestyle timer and journal. These notes explain the app and offer reflection prompts. They are not medical advice or a prescribed eating schedule.
