Happy Scale
What Happy Scale is
Happy Scale tracks weight trends by smoothing daily scale readings with moving averages. It can break a weight-loss goal into smaller milestones and estimate future weights, including the time to a target, based on current trends. Users can import weight entries from Apple Health and export them with permission; Apple Health is not available on iPad. Health data is stored locally by default, without a server login requirement. Optional Dropbox sync and backup use the app’s own Happy Scale folder. Profiles can be protected with a passcode. The maker says it does not share personal or health data with third parties without permission, and that analytics exclude health data and personally identifiable information. Happy Scale is free, with in-app upgrades. Deluxe costs $1.99 a month, $11.99 a year, or $39.99, paid once. The yearly plan shows a free trial. The app supports iPhone and iPad with iOS 16 or later, and Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later.
