What you need
to run FitScale
FitScale runs in the cloud — you use it in a web browser, the same way you’d use Gmail or Facebook. There’s nothing to install and no server to buy. Here’s everything it takes to get going.
The short version: any reasonably modern computer or tablet, an up-to-date web browser, and a stable internet connection. That’s genuinely it.
