Weigh Bright: Weight Tracker

You did everything right this week. Then the scale reads a kilo heavier than yesterday, and it feels like the week did not count. It did. Water, salt, sleep and last night's dinner move that number far more than fat ever does, and the daily wobble is what makes people quit.

Weigh Bright draws the line running underneath the wobble. Log your weight in a few seconds and you get:

• the shape of what is actually happening, instead of this morning's verdict
• a plateau you can explain rather than fear
• the number you will see on the day that matters
• and the same for the dog, the cat and everyone else in the house

LOG IT FAST
• A big keypad in the app, a home screen widget, or a tile in your quick settings
• Kilograms, pounds or stones, whichever you actually think in
• A logbook with the recorded weight, the trend, the weekly rate and BMI side by side
• Notes and tags on any entry: travel, sick, period, refeed, new med, or your own
• Reports by month and by year, including how your tagged weeks compare with the rest

SEE THE TREND, NOT THE WOBBLE
• The app works out which way of drawing the line fits how you actually weigh in, then uses it. Right for a daily weigher, right for someone who steps on once a week
• Start a new trend on any day, after a holiday or a change of plan, so a fresh start is not weighed down by the months before it
• It says so when your trend has been flat for a while, and a plateau you can see is a plateau you can do something about
• Charts over 7, 30, 90 and 365 days, with the line drawn on ahead of today

GET TO THE GOAL
• Your goal split into milestones, so the next win is always close
• Add the dates that matter and see what you will weigh on them. The wedding, the holiday, the reunion, the check-up
• Forecast from the rate you committed to, the rate you are going at now, or your rate all along
• Maintenance mode when you arrive. The goal becomes a band to stay inside, and dropping below it is no longer counted as progress

AND THE PETS
• Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets, chickens and horses
• Healthy weight ranges from a breed list of hundreds of dogs and cats
• The 9-point body condition score, walked through the rib, waist and tuck checks in plain words
• A safe weekly rate worked out for their size, not yours, and tags that suit them: vet visit, new food, off food, extra treats

WHEN THE SCALE WON'T MOVE
• Body measurements in centimetres or inches, waist first, with waist to height and waist to hip ratios
• If your weight is level this month but your waist is down, the app says so
• Progress photos with the date, the weight and a note on each, side by side, kept out of your gallery
• Body fat and lean mass get trend lines of their own
• BMI with WHO or NHS thresholds
• Optional calorie logging, with an estimate of what you actually burn based on your own results

MAKE IT YOURS
• Reorder or hide any card, and choose your own logbook columns
• Dark mode and accent colours
• Widgets for your stats, the past month and the next event, plus a lock screen widget where your phone supports one
• One weigh-in reminder at a time you choose, and nothing else. No streaks, no badges, no nagging
• A profile each for everyone in the house, people and animals, with its own goal and history

YOUR WEIGHTS STAY ON YOUR PHONE
• No account and no sign-up. Nothing about you is uploaded anywhere
• Your history is backed up automatically every time you log a weight, for every profile
• Export a copy to wherever you like and bring it back on your next phone. Changing devices does not cost you years of history
• Health Connect sync if you want it, off until you turn it on
• Lock the app behind your fingerprint or your device PIN

Step on the scale tomorrow and read the line, not the number.
