Scale
How do I set up different types of goals in Scale?
Just tap the plus button on the main screen to create a new goal. You can set a simple daily counter like water intake, a weekly check-off like gym sessions, or a project goal where you log progress like word count. The app automatically adapts how you log progress based on the goal type you choose.
Does Scale have a focus timer that connects to my goals?
Yes, Scale includes a built-in focus timer. When you start a timer session, it automatically logs that time toward a related goal—like adding 50 minutes of study time to your 'Study for Econ 101' goal. This helps you see how your daily work adds up to your bigger targets.
I want to adjust a goal’s deadline or target for just one day. How can I do that?
Currently, Scale doesn’t offer a simple way to temporarily change a goal for a single day. Editing a goal’s settings is possible but feels buried in the menus, and it applies permanently. For one-off adjustments, you might need to create a separate goal or skip that day’s logging.
The app feels a bit lonely. Is there any way to share progress or connect with others?
No, Scale is designed as a personal tracking tool with no community or sharing features. If you’re looking for social motivation like streaks or leaderboards, you’ll need to use a different app. However, the quiet nudges and clean interface help keep you focused without distractions.
How does Scale compare to Habitica for habit tracking?
Scale is simpler and more flexible than Habitica—it doesn’t use gamification or a role-playing theme. You get a clean list of goals with different tracking methods, while Habitica turns habits into a game with rewards and avatars. Scale is better for minimalists who want a no-fuss tracker, while Habitica appeals to those who enjoy earning points and leveling up.
