I made a weight tracking app because every existing one felt like it was trying to become my life coach. Roast it.
I recently launched a small Android app called Weilo.
It’s basically a simple weight tracking app, but the whole idea is to avoid the usual bloat I kept seeing in other apps: accounts, BMI calculators everywhere, subscriptions, ads, “fitness journey” content, meal plans, dashboards that feel way too serious, etc.
The app is intentionally simple:
You log your weight, see your progress, and track the difference between entries. That’s pretty much the core of it.
The reason I made it is because years ago, when I was actively going to the gym, I used to manually write down my weight and calculate the difference from my last entry just to stay motivated. I looked for apps that did only that, but most of them felt overbuilt or annoying to use.
So I built the kind of version I personally wanted: lightweight, private, local-first, no account required, and not trying to turn weight tracking into a full fitness ecosystem.
I’m not posting this as a “please download my app” thing. I’m more curious if the positioning itself makes sense.
There are already a ton of weight tracking apps, so I’m wondering:
Would “simple, private, no-bloat weight tracking” actually stand out to people, or is this too small of a problem to care about?
Also roast the idea, store-listing, app positioning, monetization, anything.
