Manually entering your daily weight into a tracking app can be a tedious and demotivating task. Enter ScanMyScale, a free app that eliminates the need for this tedious step. Developed by an innovative individual, this app allows you to take a photo of your weight displayed on any scale, be it analog or digital, and it will automatically recognize the weight for you.
The app then logs this weight into your personal history, providing a hassle-free way to monitor your progress. The simplicity of ScanMyScale lies in the fact that it focuses solely on weight, making it a straightforward tool for anyone looking to keep track of their progress. The app is a Progressive Web App (PWA), meaning it can be accessed directly through your mobile browser without the need for downloading from the Play Store or App Store.
While manual entry remains optional, the app strongly encourages the use of photos for a more convenient experience. As the app is still in its early stages, the creator is eager to gather feedback on its usability, the accuracy of the weight readings, and any other suggestions for improvement.
