The trend under the daily jumps.
Weigh in when you can. Balance Point smooths the day-to-day noise into one line and carries it across the weeks you miss. When there isn’t enough data for a forecast, the chart says so.

Four lines, each with a name
Violet comes from your weigh-ins. Orange is the plan you set. Every line on the chart has a label, so a plan never reads like a second trend.
Trend
The line through your weigh-ins, with a shaded range. It moves when several readings agree, so one salty dinner barely nudges it.
Plan
The curve you committed to when you set a goal, by date or by pace. It stays where you drew it whatever the scale does.
Goal
The weight you’re aiming for. Balance Point checks each plan against it and refuses one steeper than 2% of bodyweight a week.
Forecast
Where the trend is heading, drawn as a range. It can level off above your goal, and it disappears when recent data runs thin.
What happens when you miss weigh-ins
A week of travel or a scale with a dead battery leaves a hole in the record. Switch the gap on: the trend continues across it and its range widens until readings return.
Balance Point draws no points to fill the hole, and it writes none to Apple Health.

What else it does
All features- ForecastA weight forecast shown as a range of datesBalance Point forecasts when your weight trend reaches your goal from weigh-ins alone, and shows a range of dates or none when the data is thin.
- Goals and paceGoals and pace for a weight campaignPlan a weight goal around a date or a pace. Balance Point shows each pace’s week-one change and keeps every campaign you start in one lifetime record.
- Apple HealthHow Balance Point works with Apple HealthBalance Point reads weight, body fat, waist, and intake from Apple Health, and returns only figures you entered by hand. Its estimates stay in the app.
- TreatmentsA treatment and dose log beside your weight trendLog a treatment such as a GLP-1 medication and repeat a dose in one tap, with each dose marked on the weight chart. Balance Point suggests nothing.
- EnergyIntake totals and an adaptive energy estimateDaily calorie and macro totals, flagged complete or incomplete, let Balance Point estimate your energy burned from intake and the weight trend.
- Quick loggingQuick weigh-in logging and Home Screen widgetsLog a weigh-in in seconds with the Log Weight Shortcut or Siri, and check your trend on Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that open Trends.

Guides to the scale and the trend
All guides- Why your weight can jump 3 pounds overnight
Overnight jumps on the scale mostly reflect water and the food still in your gut. Here’s what moves daily weight from one morning to another.
- What a weight trend is and how to read one
A weight trend is the smoothed line under your daily weigh-ins. Here’s how it’s built and what its range and weekly rate (like −0.3 lb/wk) tell you.
- How often to weigh yourself, and what skipped days do
Research links regular, often daily, self-weighing with greater weight loss. What gaps do to a weight trend, and why filling skipped days by hand misleads.
- When will I reach my goal weight? Why the answer is a range
A goal-weight date is more useful as a span than as a single day. Why a straight-line estimate arrives too soon, and why some weight curves level off.
Questions
What is Balance Point?
Balance Point is an iPhone app that turns irregular weigh-ins into a weight trend and shows the forecast as a range. It also keeps a log of treatments and doses and plans goals from a date or a pace.
Can I download Balance Point yet?
Not yet. The app is still being built for iPhone and iPad (iOS 18 or later). Leave your email on this site for one message from Rival Bear when it reaches the App Store.
Do I need an account?
No. You never sign up for anything, and your data never reaches a server run by Rival Bear. Everything you log is kept on the device, and the full history exports to a file whenever you like.
How is the trend different from what the scale says today?
A single weigh-in moves with water and meal timing, so it can swing a pound or two overnight. The trend is a smoothed estimate built from all your weigh-ins, with a range that shows how sure it is.
Why does the forecast show a range instead of a date?
Weight change slows and speeds up, so any single date would claim more certainty than the data has. Balance Point shows the range the weigh-ins support, and when recent weigh-ins are scarce it omits the date.
