Track your weight in two seconds: just snap a photo of your scale. ScaleTrack reads the number off any scale's display, right on your iPhone. Confirm it, and it's saved and charted. It works with the scale you already own: if it shows a number, ScaleTrack reads it.

Export to CSV whenever you want. MORE THAN THE SCALE β’ Add a note, tags, or how you felt to any weigh-in. β’ BMI at a glance once you set your height. β’ Track body fat percentage and waist alongside weight, synced with Apple Health. β’ Optional progress photos with a lineup guide and side-by-side compare, stored on your device, seen only by you.
