## What is W8buddy recomposition tracker?

W8buddy is the ultimate tracker for body recomposition (recomp).
Track not only weight but also body fat, muscle mass and visceral fat (all optional)

This app does not require any online-accounts or sign-ups and it stores all data on the device, not in the cloud. (cloud free, no-cloud, offline)

This app is especially useful if you have a body fat scale like an OMRON, Withing, Renpho or InBody. Of course you can also only track your weight, but then you won't experience many of the features of this app.

The following values can be recorded and tracked (multiple profiles are possible!):
 * Total Weight
 * Body Fat
 * Muscle Mass
 * Visceral Fat Score (Belly Fat)
 * BMI (calculated)

Don't just track your weight but more importantly track your body, muscle mass and visceral fat (all optional) and calculate your BMI. 

From percentage values (body fat percentage in %) the app automatically calculates the absolute values (body fat in lb / st / kg) so that you can track what really matters despite the natural fluctuations.

Use the optional 5-day-smoothing to get an even better understanding of your progress by smoothing out single day outliers and measurement errors.

Analyze your progress and change in body composition with specialized charts that actually make use of the information instead of just showing the measurements independently like many other apps do.

Stay motivated by using your long-term values to automatically see, when you last had this body composition prior to your current effort period.

Set goals, analyze your progress and see what your average change is, last 7 days, last 30 days and get a projection of when you will reach your goals approximately.

Let the assistant help you to set realistic and good goals with respect to weight loss and body fat reduction.

Of course you can export all your data to CSV even in the free version and also import CSVs to the app.

Set up multiple profiles to keep track of multiple scales (home, fitness studio) or multiple persons.

This is only the beginning, possible future features:
 - Sync-Function with upload to a server
 - Display of data from your withings-scale (Withings-API integration)
 - Integration of fasting-tracker functionality
