## Key points

- YourOwnWeigh redirects Withings scale data without a subscription.
- It currently supports two older scale models.
- Apple Health syncing uses a scheduled Shortcut.

## Summary

After Withings said new users would need a Withings Plus subscription to sync health data with third-party apps, developer Tom Anthony created YourOwnWeigh. The open-source project redirects data from some Withings scales to a server chosen by the user, allowing wireless syncing without the subscription.

The web app patches alternate firmware, transfers scale settings and user profiles, and downloads weigh-in data. Anthony uses Apple Shortcuts to import that data into Apple Health, while broader app support, including Google Health, is a community goal. For now, the project works with only two older Withings scale models and can run on a free Cloudflare account.
