The number on the scale can go up even when you’re making progress. Honest Scale is a calmer weight loss tracker that helps you look past normal day-to-day changes and understand where your weight is actually headed. See your weight trend, note factors like sleep or travel, and stay focused on meaningful progress—not one stressful number. SEE THE TREND, NOT THE NOISE Honest Scale shows both the number on the scale and your underlying weight trend, helping you recognize real progress even when individual weigh-ins bounce up and down. GET INSIGHT, NOT JUST DATA Today’s Weight Insight uses your latest weigh-in together with your history, weight trend, and goal to provide relevant guidance. You can add optional details about sleep, salty meals, workouts, or travel to better understand what may be happening. Today’s Perspective provides a separate, supportive view that helps keep one number in proportion. KNOW WHETHER YOU’RE ON TRACK Explore interactive charts covering 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or your complete history. Follow milestone progress, see how much your weight has changed since your first weigh-in, and view an estimated timeline toward your next milestone when enough information is available. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Connect Apple Health to import existing weigh-ins with their original dates. You can also log manually, add notes and real-life factors, and optionally save manual entries to Apple Health. SEE YOUR WHOLE JOURNEY Review your individual weigh-ins, weight trend, average weekly change, notes, and real-life factors in an organized monthly history. Filter manual or Apple Health entries and revisit the moments behind the numbers. BUILD A CALMER ROUTINE Choose a gentle reminder schedule that fits you. Honest Scale won’t remind you again after you have already logged that day. PRIVATE AND IN YOUR CONTROL Protect Honest Scale with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Export your history as a spreadsheet file (CSV), or create a backup file to move or recover your app data. HONEST SCALE INCLUDES • Clear weight trends and interactive charts • Personalized Weight Insights and Today’s Perspective • Optional real-life factors and notes • Goal milestones, progress, and estimated dates • Import from Apple Health and optional saving of manual entries • BMI reference based on your saved height and weight • Flexible weigh-in reminders • App Lock, spreadsheet export, backup, and restore Honest Scale is built for people who want to lose weight, maintain their weight, understand weight changes, or feel less anxious about stepping on the scale. It stays focused on helping you understand your weight—without the calorie counting, meal logging, and clutter of an all-in-one diet app. Premium subscription required for full access.

About

NidoLoop

Features
Read full description

NidoLoop is a shared record of a child's day, built for the adults caring for that child together — a parent and a nanny, two parents on different shifts, a grandparent covering Tuesdays. It exists because handing over a baby's day is hard when you don't share a language. Every note, message and log in NidoLoop is shown to each person in the language they read. ONE DAY, EVERYONE SEES IT Log a bottle and it is on the other phone before you have put the kettle on. Feeds and nursing, naps and overnight sleep, diapers, solids and how they went down, baths, temperatures, medicines, vaccinations, illnesses, growth, tummy time and play — all on one screen, in the order you arranged it. Everything works offline. Log on the bus with no signal and it syncs when you come back. TALK, IN FOUR LANGUAGES Chat with your caregiver in English, Spanish, Nepali or Russian. Each of you writes in your own language and reads in your own language. Hold the microphone button and speak instead of typing. Translation is machine translation. It is good enough to run a day between two people who don't share a language, and it is not a substitute for a professional interpreter when something serious needs saying. THE PATTERNS YOU CAN'T SEE FROM ONE DAY NidoLoop learns your baby's own rhythm — how long between bottles, how naps fall across the day — and tells you when one is due. Trends slide back through the months so you can see what changed after the growth spurt, not just what happened this week. A CARE TEAM, NOT A LOGIN YOU SHARE Invite people with a code and approve them yourself. Everyone has their own account and their own name against every entry. A caregiver keeps her own profile — her languages, her experience, her worked hours — and it travels with her between families. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Download everything as a file, or delete your account, from inside the app. Both are free and always will be. No ads, no advertising identifiers, no tracking across other apps, and no analytics profile built about you or your child. Message and note text is sent to an AI provider to be translated, and is not used to train models. Your records are stored in Canada. The full detail is in our privacy policy. Coming from another app? NidoLoop reads exports from other baby trackers, on your phone, and shows you what it found before writing anything. NidoLoop is used by adults, about a child. It is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. If you are worried about a child's health, contact a doctor. Nido Technologies LLC · nidoloop.com
