Follicle is a mobile app designed to help users consistently track hair growth, hair loss, and related routines through organized progress photos and contextual notes. Aimed at individuals monitoring changes due to treatments, transplants, beard growth, or long-term hair routines, the app addresses the challenge of inconsistent photo documentation that can obscure real progress or exaggerate setbacks.
Key features of Follicle include the Ghost Overlay camera, which allows users to line up new photos with a transparent overlay of a baseline image, ensuring consistent angle, distance, and framing for each capture. The app provides tools for before-and-after photo comparisons using overlays, making it easier to observe changes over time. Users can maintain a hair journal, recording notes about shedding, side effects, missed treatments, haircuts, and routine adjustments. Treatment reminders help build consistency, while AI-powered progress reports summarize key metrics like photo consistency, streaks, and routine history. Additional tools include an AI consistency checker to evaluate how closely new photos match the baseline, and a lighting check feature to ensure fair comparisons by assessing lighting conditions between photos.
Follicle is available for both iPhone and Android devices. It offers secure cloud storage to back up progress data, ensuring that photos and notes are preserved even when switching devices. The app is designed to keep all aspects of a user's hair journey—photos, routines, reminders, and journal entries—organized in one place, rather than scattered across a device's camera roll.
The platform is suitable for anyone tracking hair-related changes, including those undergoing treatments with minoxidil or finasteride, individuals recovering from hair transplants, or users focused on beard growth and routine tracking. Follicle positions itself as a private and focused hair tracker, integrating photo documentation with journaling and reminders to give users a comprehensive view of their progress.
