I created my first iPhone weight management app, X Factor, in 2008. It underwent two complete redesigns: the first in 2011 and the second in 2016. However, with Apple’s shift to Swift/SwiftUI for iOS development, X Factor’s Objective-C codebase remained dormant for the past seven years. Two months ago, I finally decided to develop a SwiftUI weight tracker, Weightage, to serve as a complementary app to the aging X Factor.

While X Factor’s calorie balance approach remains useful for those trying to understand what’s driving changes to their weight, Weightage focuses on presenting long-term weight results in an easily digestible format. It’s designed for data nerds/enthusiasts but offers powerful features that are accessible to everyone. The free app has no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or ads. The only request is to support my work by purchasing my book, but it’s easily ignored if preferred.
