ScalePal is the simplest way to track your weight journey. No account. No subscription. No clutter. Log your weight in seconds, see your trend over time, and stay consistent with daily streak tracking — right from your Home Screen widget. WHAT'S NEW • Trend prediction: ScalePal analyzes your progress and tells you when you could realistically reach your goal, based on your actual pace — not a generic formula. • Context check-in: When your weight looks a bit unusual, ScalePal quietly asks what was going on (sleep, stress, hydration). Optional and never guilt-based. Over time, it shows you what actually affects your weight. • Weather context: ScalePal checks local weather when you log an unusual reading — hot, humid days can cause water retention, and now you'll know. FEATURES • Quick log with notes and custom date/time • Daily trend chart with goal tracking • Streak tracking to keep you consistent • Home Screen widget for at-a-glance check-ins • Apple Health sync — your data stays on your device • Supports lbs and kg
