Balanza is a BMI calculator and weight tracker built for calm clarity — without ads, accounts, or diet plans. Most days the scale hands you a number and no context. Was that a good week? Are you closer to your goal than you were last month? Balanza answers both on one screen: your BMI, your trend, and how much is left to go. FEATURES →Your BMI in one calm reading Enter your height and weight and get your number without a lecture. The category label sits there quietly beside it — and you can hide it altogether if you would rather just watch the number. →A goal that counts both ways Set the weight you are heading toward, up or down, and Balanza shows the distance in plain words: "3.2 kg to go". Reached it? Maintain mode takes over and watches your healthy band instead of the countdown. →Every entry kept, every trend visible Logging a weight takes seconds; the chart does the rest. Weeks of small changes become a line you can read instead of a feeling you have to trust. →Kilograms, pounds, stones — whichever you think in Metric, imperial, st and lb. Change your mind whenever you like; your history converts with you. →Your history survives your next phone iCloud backup and restore are built in, so switching devices never costs you months of entries. Export everything to CSV whenever you want a copy of your own. →Reminders, if you want them Off by default. Turn them on and you pick the day and the time — a quiet nudge, never a demand. →Moments worth keeping When you reach your goal, Balanza builds a card with your real numbers on it — good enough to keep, or to show someone who has been cheering you on. WHY BALANZA → Calm by design — a reading, not a verdict; hide the category label whenever you want → No ads, no account, no sign-up — you open it and it works → Nothing to unlock — everything above is there from the first launch → Your data stays yours — no tracking, no analytics, iCloud backup and one-tap CSV export → A tracker, not a diet — apart from your weight there is nothing to log → Maintain mode — for the stretch where the goal is staying where you are Know your number. Watch it move. Feel steady. DISCLAIMER Balanza is a general screening and tracking tool, not a medical device, and nothing in it is medical advice or a diagnosis. BMI is a broad screening measure and does not account for muscle mass, build, age, or your individual health. Talk to a qualified professional before making decisions about your health.
