DESCRIPTION

Pondus is a personal weight manager that keeps track of your body weight. It aims to be simple to use, lightweight and fast. The data can be plotted to get a quick overview of the history of your weight. A simple weight planner allows to define “target weights” and this plan can be compared with the actual measurements in a plot.

By default, the user data is stored in ~/.pondus/datasets.xml and is written to this file automatically on exit, so you don´t have to worry about saving the data you entered.

All functionality is available via the toolbar or via keyboard/mouse shortcuts. The following shortcuts are currently used:

To improve the workflow, the add dialog is initialized with the current date and the last measured weight. Both date and weight can be incremented/decremented by one day/0.1kg(lbs) by pressing “+” or “−”, respectively. Pressing “Enter” in one of the entry fields is a shortcut for clicking the “OK”−button.

A simple weight planner allows you to define future “target weights”, i.e. the weight you want to have at some future date. After enabling the weight planner in the preferences, a selector at the bottom of the main window determines whether you are currently editing the weight measurements or the weight plan.

The CSV im−/export dialogs allow to im−/export weight data from/to other applications. Currently, the only supported format is 2008−03−26,81.3 (for example).
