Your progress is more than a number. FrameByDay brings your weight goal, daily check-ins, and progress photos together in one private journal. PLAN YOUR JOURNEY Set a starting weight, goal weight, and timeline. See daily targets as a planning guide, record actual weigh-ins, and adjust your plan when life changes. Choose pounds or kilograms. CHECK IN YOUR WAY Record a weight or choose On Track or Not Today. Undo a quick check-in, edit past entries, and set reminders around your preferred weigh-in days. Encouragement is optional. UNDERSTAND YOUR PROGRESS Explore recorded weights, trends, weekly recaps, and a dated chart values list. Find a calendar date quickly and distinguish saved readings from planned targets. See your total weight change and remaining distance to your goal. SEE THE CHANGE Keep dated progress photos with their recorded weights. See Before and Current together, correct photo dates, and choose whether photos appear on your home screen in the app. Photo widgets are optional. KEEP YOUR GOAL CLOSE Add Home Screen widgets for targets, the latest recorded weight, weight change, and progress toward your goal. Medium and large daily widgets support quick check-ins. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No FrameByDay account, advertising, or third-party analytics. Your journal stays on your device unless you choose to share, export, or back it up. Optional app lock and light or dark appearance help make the journal your own. Manual backups can be saved to Files or iCloud Drive; they are not automatic cloud sync. FREE FEATURES Unlimited weight tracking, goal editing, daily check-ins, calendar, charts, weekly recaps, reminders, widgets, basic data backups, and four progress photos. LIFETIME PRO An optional one-time purchase unlocks unlimited progress photos, comparisons between any two dates, progress videos and shareable cards, multiple journeys and goal history, photo-inclusive manual backups, PDF reports and CSV exports, optional Apple Health body-weight syncing, monthly insights, and body measurements. No subscription or automatic renewal. Explore illustrated examples before purchasing, and restore your purchase with your Apple Account. Daily targets are a planning guide, not medical advice or a prediction of weight change. Weight naturally fluctuates. FrameByDay is a personal wellness journal, not a medical service.
