Getting your weight in — and never losing it
The tracker keeps everything in your browser — nothing is uploaded, no account needed. This guide shows you how to pull in your history from any scale, log new readings automatically, and — most importantly — keep a backup.
Because your weights live only in this browser, clearing your browser history or losing this device will erase them — there is no cloud copy to restore from. So every so often (and after a big milestone), open the tracker and tap “Back up my data”. You'll get a small
weight-backup-YYYY-MM-DD.json file — keep it somewhere safe (email it to yourself, drop it in your cloud drive). To restore, just drag that file back into the importer. It's your data; keeping a copy is on you, and it takes five seconds.
Export from Renpho
The Renpho Health app can export your weight history as a CSV:
- Open the Renpho Health app and go to the Trends tab, then tap Weight.
- Tap the clock / history icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap Select Data → “…” → Select all data.
- Tap the share icon (a square with an up-arrow) in the bottom-left. Choose how to send yourself the file — it comes out as a .csv.
- Save that CSV to your phone or email it to yourself, then import it below.
Renpho's export layout changes between app versions; if you don't see these exact words, the alternative path is to sync Renpho into Apple Health or Google Fit and export from there — see the sections below.
Export from Xiaomi (Zepp Life / Mi Fitness)
Xiaomi scales don't offer a tidy CSV, but they sync cleanly into the big health apps — which is exactly what we want, because those export beautifully:
- iPhone: in Zepp Life → Profile → Add accounts → Apple Health, and turn on Weight. Now follow the Apple Health steps.
- Android: in Zepp Life / Mi Fitness connect Google Fit (or Health Connect) and enable weight sync, then use the Google Fit steps.
Export from Apple Health (iPhone)
- Open the Health app → tap your profile photo (top-right).
- Scroll down and tap Export All Health Data. It builds an
export.zip(this can take a minute). - Save / AirDrop the zip to a computer and unzip it — inside is export.xml.
- Import that
export.xml. We read only your body-weight records and ignore everything else.
Export from Google Fit (Android)
- Go to Google Takeout (takeout.google.com), deselect all, then select just Fit.
- Create the export and download the archive.
- Inside, look under Fit → Daily activity metrics for the CSV files — they include a weight column.
- Import the CSV. (A plain
date,weightCSV from any source works too.)
Import a file into the tracker
Open the Weight Tracker, scroll to Import & backup, and drag your file onto the drop zone (or tap to choose it). We auto-detect the format — Renpho CSV, Apple Health XML, Google Fit CSV, a generic date,weight CSV, or a SpecEnvoy backup — convert everything to your chosen units, and merge by date so re-importing never creates duplicates. Nothing leaves your device.
Log your weight automatically every morning
Manual logging is easy to forget. How hands-off you can get depends on your device — but they all use the same trick: the tracker accepts a “quick-add” link that logs a reading when it's opened, so any automation that can open a URL can log for you.
- iPhone — a free Shortcut reads your latest weight from Apple Health and opens the link each morning (steps below). Any scale that syncs to Apple Health (Renpho, Xiaomi, Withings…) then logs itself.
- Android — an automation app (HTTP Shortcuts, Tasker, or Macrodroid) reads weight from Health Connect and opens the same link. See the Android note below.
- Computer (Windows / Mac / Linux) — there's no phone-style health feed, so this is manual: import your scale's export, or just type today's number into the tracker (a couple of seconds). Still private, still yours.
The quick-add link looks like:
https://www.specenvoy.com/data/health/weight/#add?kg=95.3&d=2026-07-06
(use lb= instead of kg= if your Health app is set to pounds). Opening that link adds the reading once and then cleans itself up.
On iPhone — the Shortcuts recipe
- Open the Shortcuts app → Automation tab → + → Time of Day. Pick a time after you usually weigh in (say 9:00 AM), Daily, and set it to Run Immediately (turn off “Ask Before Running”).
- Add action Find Health Samples → type Body Mass, sort by End Date, order Latest, Limit 1.
- Add Get Details of Health Sample → Value (this is your weight number). Add another for Start Date if you like.
- Add a Format Date action on that date → custom format
yyyy-MM-dd. - Add a Text action and type the link, dropping in the variables:
https://www.specenvoy.com/data/health/weight/#add?kg=[Value]&d=[Formatted Date] - Add Open URLs with that Text. Done — each morning it opens the tracker, logs your weight, and you'll see the celebration if you cross a milestone.
#add?kg=…&d=… link. Or just export from Google Fit weekly and import — whatever fits your routine.This is a friendly tracker, not a medical device. Talk to a doctor about your healthy weight and any significant changes — and if weight is a source of real distress, please reach out to someone you trust.
