A weight log only helps if you keep it. Tairoku is a weight-only tracker built so that today's entry is done by nudging yesterday's number — nothing to type. ■ Two taps, starting from last time The record sheet opens with your previous weight already in place. Move it with −0.1 / +0.1 for whatever changed, and save. ■ Weight makes sense as a line, not a number Day-to-day readings swing with food and water. View 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or a year as a line chart with a 7-day moving average on top, so one morning's number doesn't decide how you feel. ■ How far is the goal Set a goal weight and a progress ring shows how much of the distance you have covered since you started. Reaching it gets a short celebration. ■ Days kept, and the basics See your recording streak, the change in your weekly average, and the lowest and highest weight for the period. Add your height and BMI appears alongside them. Body fat percentage is optional. ■ Check it and log it from the Home Screen Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your latest weight, the change since last time, a 7-day trend, and goal progress. Tap one to open the record sheet. A daily reminder is there too — and it works fine left off. ■ Apple Health, CSV export, and history calendar Apple Health sync lets you turn reading and writing on or off separately; both are off by default. Browse past entries on a monthly calendar, and export your records as a CSV file. Units: kg and lb. Works in Dark Mode and on iPad. ■ Records stay on your device No account and no sign-in. Weight, body fat, and notes are stored only on the device and are not sent anywhere. The network is used to show ads and to send anonymous usage and crash data that help improve the app. We do not collect information that identifies you personally.

One number, one ring, one goal. Tally Steps shows you how far you have walked today and nothing else. No coaching. No streaks. No badges for getting out of bed. It reads the step count your iPhone and Apple Watch already record, and it draws it plainly. TODAY A single ring against your daily goal, with distance and active energy underneath. Drag the goal, or type an exact one. THE MONTH, AND THE YEAR Every day as a square, darker the further you walked. Tap any day to see it, page back through earlier months, or open the year to find one. ON YOUR WRIST A watch app, and three complications for the corner, circular and rectangular slots — so the number is on your watch face without opening anything. WIDGETS Small and medium for the Home Screen, plus Lock Screen widgets. They keep up in the background. LIGHT OR DARK Follows your phone, or pin it either way in Settings. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Nothing about your activity leaves your device — the app reads Health, stores a copy on your phone so the widgets can draw, and that is the whole of it. FREE The whole app, with nothing held back and nothing to unlock. If you would like to support it, Settings has a tip jar. It is entirely optional and changes nothing about the app. Requires access to Health for steps, walking and running distance, and active energy. Tally Steps only reads; it never writes anything back.
