Happy Scale Alternative for Android and Web: Weight Forecast vs Happy Scale

Happy Scale runs on iPhone, iPad, and Apple-silicon Macs; we could not find an official Android or web version (checked October 2, 2026). On Android, Libra is the most common suggestion. Weight Forecast is a free web app you can install from your browser on Android, iPhone, or desktop. It shows your weight trend and an approximate goal date based on your weigh-ins.

Disclosure: we make Weight Forecast. This page is not affiliated with Happy Scale or Front Pocket Software LLC.

Is Happy Scale available on Android or the web?

As of October 2, 2026, the US App Store listing shows Happy Scale for iPhone and iPad (iOS 16+) and Mac with Apple silicon. happyscale.com links to the App Store only; we found no official Google Play listing.

Be cautious with unofficial "Happy Scale APK" or "for PC" download sites — they are not listed by the developer.

What Happy Scale does well

  • Four documented smoothing methods (exponential, 7-day moving average, double exponential, and "Happy Scale Smoothing" on its support pages).
  • Weight predictions and milestone goals (per App Store description).
  • Apple Health import/export so smart scales that write to Health can feed it.
  • Active maintenance — version 2026.7 listed September 2026 on the US App Store as of October 2, 2026.
  • Strong App Store reputation — about 4.9 stars from roughly 58K US ratings as of October 2, 2026 (ratings change over time).

How our goal-date forecast works →

Where Weight Forecast is different

One account on Android, iPhone, and desktop

Open Weight Forecast in any modern browser. Install it from the browser menu as a Progressive Web App (display: standalone in our manifest) so it behaves like an app on your home screen.

Approximate goal date from your weigh-ins

A straight trend line through your last 30 calendar days of weigh-ins produces an approximate goal date and a weekly rate in kg/week. Method documented on our forecast page.

Garmin and Strava in the same place

Optional Garmin Connect and Strava connections are described in our privacy policy and terms. Workouts and activity data feed your daily balance; the goal-date line itself uses weigh-ins only.

Food logging and AI-assistant access

Voice and photo meal logging on the site. An MCP server lets supported AI assistants log weight and read your forecast (see llms.txt on this site).

Where Happy Scale is the better pick

  • You are on iPhone and Happy Scale already fits

    Happy Scale is mature, polished, and actively maintained (version 2026.7 on the US App Store as of October 2, 2026).

  • You want several smoothing methods

    Happy Scale documents four smoothing modes on its support pages — more choice than our single regression trend.

  • You rely on Apple Health or a scale that syncs through it

    Happy Scale supports Apple Health import/export per its App Store listing. Weight Forecast does not support Apple Health or Health Connect today.

  • You want passcode lock or multiple profiles

    Happy Scale lists passcode protection and multiple user profiles in its store description. Weight Forecast does not offer those today.

Other Android options people recommend

  • Libra — often cited on Reddit for Android; trend smoothing, ads with optional paid ad removal (Google Play listing updated September 15, 2025 when we checked).
  • openScale — open-source Android tracker with Bluetooth scales and CSV export on F-Droid; no account required.

Switching from Happy Scale

There is no import from Happy Scale today — you would start a fresh log. Keep weighing at the same time of day, set your goal in Weight Forecast, and allow one to two weeks of entries before the trend line stabilizes (at least 3 weigh-ins in the last 30 days for a data-based date).

Does Weight Forecast predict my goal date like Happy Scale?▼
