How WeekScale handles your daily entries, weekly trends, privacy, and data portability.
Body weight can shift from one morning to the next for reasons unrelated to long-term change. WeekScale groups readings into fixed Monday–Sunday or Sunday–Saturday calendar weeks, so a week that ends stays finished and can be compared fairly with another. A rolling average is useful for a different kind of view, but it is not how WeekScale compares weeks. Why calendar weeks matter
It shows how complete a week is. One recorded day is 14%, five days is 71%, and all seven days is 100%. More entries generally make a weekly average more representative.
Yes. You can choose kg or lb, and WeekScale selects a sensible first-run default based on your device region.
Yes. Choose any date up to today. There is one entry per calendar day, so saving another value for the same date updates that entry.
No. There are no streaks, badges, leaderboards, celebrations, or a goal weight to chase. The only thing WeekScale rewards is a more complete week: five or more weigh-ins earn the week its reliable-week treatment.
No. WeekScale has no account system and no proprietary cloud synchronization. Your database and settings are stored in the app's private storage on your device. Read what local-first storage means in practice.
WeekScale does not directly transmit your weight history. Android does not grant the app internet permission, while the iOS app makes no direct network requests and has no third-party runtime dependencies. System-managed backups may include app data, and an export leaves the app only when you choose a share destination.
Potentially. Android system backup and device transfer are enabled, and Apple-managed device or iCloud Backup may include the iOS app's private data. Inclusion depends on your device and backup settings. These are platform services, not WeekScale-operated synchronization; CloudKit app sync is disabled.
Yes. WeekScale imports common CSV, TSV, and text formats with flexible column mapping and date recognition. Export is always initiated by you and uses the platform's system share interface.
No. Android does not grant the WeekScale app internet permission, so it cannot send your data anywhere even if it tried. The iOS app makes no direct network requests and has no third-party runtime dependencies.
Use the beta signup form on the homepage and choose iOS or Android. Your email address will only be used to contact you about WeekScale beta access and testing.
No. WeekScale will be a one-time purchase, planned at $6 USD in the United States and €5 EUR in Europe. Pay once, use it forever, and receive updates without a recurring fee.
No. WeekScale uses straightforward calculations for averages, ranges, trends, and reliability. It does not use AI models or send your weight history to an AI service.
WeekScale is currently pre-release and coming soon to both iOS and Android.
No. Daily weigh-in and monthly backup reminders are optional and disabled by default. On both platforms, notification permission is requested only after you enable a reminder. Reminders are local and do not include your weight.
