Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Fasten Health hard to install?

No—Fasten Health uses Docker Compose for a simple setup. With basic container knowledge, you can run it in minutes using the provided docker-compose.yml file. Post-install, you’ll need to connect your healthcare providers/lab accounts, which varies by provider.

? Is it a good alternative to Apple Health?

Yes—unlike Apple Health (closed ecosystem, limited provider integration), Fasten Health is self-hosted, cross-platform, and lets you aggregate data from more sources (e.g., hospitals, labs). It’s better for users wanting full control over their health data instead of relying on big tech.

? Is Fasten Health completely free?

Yes—Fasten Health is open-source under the MIT License, so there are no costs to use it. You only pay for your server (if self-hosting) or use a local machine—no hidden fees or paid tiers.
