Mercy Scale
Stop weighing your hope.
A bathroom scale that detects repeat weigh-ins and hides your number for 48 hours after the seventh attempt. It ends the bagel-math spiral before breakfast even starts.
Mornings shouldn't feel like forensics.
- ✕You step on the scale, then step off, then step back on wearing one less sock, hoping the number moved.
- ✕Every re-weigh turns into a private math problem about a bagel you ate three days ago.
- ✕Scales just report a number with zero awareness of the spiral you're clearly stuck in.
There's a smarter way to weigh in.
- ✓Mercy Scale detects the loop after seven attempts and stops feeding the spiral entirely.
- ✓It hides the number for 48 hours so the bagel math simply never happens.
- ✓It replaces the obsession with a raccoon shrug and a reminder of what you actually ate.
Built different.
Repeat-Weigh Loop Detection
Precision load cells accurate to ±0.05 lb log every step-on within a rolling 10-minute window and flag the seventh attempt as a hope loop.
Hope Index Calculator
Capacitive sensors estimate how much clothing you've shed between attempts and turn that into a 0–100 Hope Index score.
Raccoon Shrug Animation
The built-in display plays one of twelve raccoon-shrug reaction clips the instant your Hope Index peaks.
48-Hour Number Lockout
Once a loop is detected, your weight is sealed for 48 hours so you physically cannot check it again.
Dinner Photo Diversion
Instead of a number, the app texts you a photo of what you ate for dinner last night, pulled straight from your camera roll timestamps.
Simple by design.
Step On As Usual
You step onto the scale and the load cells log the exact timestamp and weight.
Loop Gets Flagged
After the seventh step-on in ten minutes, onboard sensors calculate your Hope Index from clothing removed between attempts.
Number Goes Dark
The screen shows a shrugging raccoon, locks your weight for 48 hours, and your phone gets a photo of yesterday's dinner instead.
The clear choice.

Good questions.
How does it know I'm hope-checking and not just weighing myself once?
It only triggers after seven step-ons in a ten-minute window. One honest morning weigh-in never counts.
Can I override the 48-hour lockout?
No. That's the entire point — willpower is the one feature we refuse to ship.
Where does the dinner photo come from?
It pulls the last food photo from your phone's camera roll based on timestamp. No photo taken means you get a raccoon instead.
Does it still track my actual progress?
Yes, all readings are logged in the app even during lockout, you just can't see them until the timer ends.
What if I don't take food photos?
You'll just get more raccoons. Statistically, people find this fine.
Is my weight data shared anywhere?
No. Everything stays on-device and in your private app account, encrypted end to end.
