AI-Powered Selfie Journal

Your face tells
a story

The changes happen slowly. Day by day, you look in the mirror and see the same person. But stack those days together and the story emerges —the sleepless weeks, the good months, the quiet recovery. FaceJournal sees what you miss.

Coming Soon to iOS Why This Matters

The person who notices first

Think about the last time someone said "you look tired" or "something's different about you." They saw it before you did. The subtle shift in your eyes after a rough week. The way your skin clears up when you finally get consistent sleep. The gradual change in your face as you find your footing again after a difficult stretch.

We all have blind spots about ourselves. The mirror shows you this moment, but it can't show you the arc. It can't tell you that your energy has been trending downward for three weeks, or that your skin always flares up two days after a stressful event, or that you look noticeably better on mornings when you slept more than seven hours.

Some people are lucky enough to have someone in their life who pays that kind of attention —a partner, a parent, a close friend who gently says "hey, are you doing okay?" at exactly the right moment. Someone who remembers what you looked like two months ago and can see the difference.

FaceJournal is that someone. Always paying attention, always remembering, always ready to show you what's been happening when you were too busy living to notice.

AI does the heavy lifting. You stay in control.

Modern vision models can read fatigue in your eyes, stress in your jawline, and changes in your complexion that happen too gradually for you to spot. That's powerful. But FaceJournal is built on a simple principle: the AI starts the conversation, and you finish it.

If all you can do today is take a selfie

That's enough. Some days are hard. Some days you don't have the words or the energy to journal. Take the photo, let the AI assess your mood and energy, and move on. A single data point is infinitely more valuable than no data point. Tomorrow might be the day you add a note. Or next week. The selfie alone already tells a story.

When you want to go deeper

Tag what happened today. Leave a voice note while you walk to the car. Adjust the sliders the AI got wrong —because sometimes you know something the camera can't see. Add a note about the medication change, the argument, the promotion. Build the full picture at your own pace, on your own terms.

A few moments out of your day

FaceJournal meets you where you are. Capture as much or as little as you want. Every tool is optional —use what helps.

AI Assessment

The AI reads your selfie and scores mood, energy, and track-specific metrics. Review the scores, correct what's off, or just accept and move on.

Tags

Quick-tap labels for context: "poor sleep", "new product", "therapy session", "craving". One tap captures hours of context. Create your own tags for anything that matters to you.

Notes

A text field for the things tags can't capture. Write as much or as little as you want. Some people write paragraphs. Some write three words. Both are valid.

Voice Notes

Tap record and talk. Perfect for when you're driving, walking, or just don't feel like typing. Sometimes speaking is easier than writing.

Custom Sliders

The AI pre-fills scores, but you can adjust them. Track anything on a scale: pain level, motivation, hydration, focus. Add your own sliders for the metrics that matter to your journey.

Health Integrations

Connect Apple Health and your journal fills itself. Sleep hours, heart rate, steps, active energy —correlated automatically with how you look and feel.

Built for what you're going through

FaceJournal organizes around tracks —focused lenses for specific aspects of your life. Enable the ones that matter. Disable the ones that don't. Create your own when none of ours fit.

Mental Health & Mood

Depression, anxiety, mood patterns, therapy support

Some days you can't tell if you're getting better or just getting used to it. This track gives you the data to answer that question honestly. The AI assesses mood, anxiety, and energy from your face each day. Over weeks, the trend line tells you what your feelings alone can't —whether the new medication is working, whether therapy is moving the needle, whether that lifestyle change actually made a difference.

Skincare & Appearance

Product tracking, breakouts, skin clarity trends

You started a new retinol two weeks ago. Is it doing anything? Without consistent photos, you'll never know —your brain adapts to gradual changes and tells you nothing happened. This track scores skin clarity, puffiness, complexion, and under-eye appearance every day. After a month, you can scroll back and see the difference objectively. Tag product changes, correlate breakouts with stress and sleep, and finally know whether that expensive serum earned its place in your routine.

Sobriety & Recovery

Day counter, recovery timelapse, craving patterns

Recovery transforms your face in ways that are hard to see day-to-day but unmistakable over months. This track counts the days, celebrates the milestones, and builds a visual record of your journey. On the hard days —and there will be hard days —you can scroll back through your timelapse and see the person you're becoming. The clarity returning to your eyes. The color coming back. That's evidence no craving can argue with.

Day Counter Milestone Badges Recovery Timelapse Craving Tracking

Weight & Body

Track facial changes that correlate with body composition —jawline definition, facial fullness, under-chin area. Built-in safeguards detect disordered patterns and gently redirect. Progress photos with face-aligned timelapse show real transformation over months.

Energy & Wellness

The generalist track. Good when you don't have a specific goal —you just want a daily baseline. Energy, overall wellness, rest quality. The kind of "how am I doing, really?" check-in that takes fifteen seconds and pays dividends when you look back at the month.

Baseline Tracking Sleep Correlation Activity Impact

Create Your Own Track

None of our tracks fit? Build your own. Define custom sliders, choose which tags matter, write your own AI analysis prompt. Track post-surgery recovery, pregnancy changes, hormonal transitions, athletic performance —whatever your face can tell you about your life, FaceJournal can track.

The full picture, not just a snapshot

Every selfie connects to everything else —your sleep, your activity, the weather, your medications, your habits. FaceJournal ties it all together.

AI Vision Analysis

Powered by Gemini, the same model family behind Google's best AI. It reads your selfie with more nuance than a casual glance in the mirror —subtle fatigue, micro-expressions, skin texture changes, facial symmetry shifts.

Face-Aligned Timelapse

ML Kit detects your eye positions in every frame, normalizes rotation and scale, and stitches the result into a smooth timelapse where your face stays perfectly centered. Watch weeks of change in seconds.

Apple Health

Sleep duration, resting heart rate, step count, active energy —pulled automatically from HealthKit. Your journal correlates physical data with how you look and feel, without you lifting a finger.

Trends & Streaks

Mood sparklines, energy trends, streak counters with milestone badges. The patterns that emerge after two weeks of consistent journaling are worth more than any single entry.

Therapist Reports

Generate PDF or CSV reports with your scores, notes, AI assessments, and trends. Share weeks of structured data with your therapist or doctor —the kind of between-session context that changes conversations.

Cloud Sync & Privacy

Optional encrypted sync across your devices. Your photos and journal data are protected by row-level security —only your authenticated account can access them. Delete everything with one tap. Your data, your control, always.

Fifteen seconds that compound

The hardest part is opening the app. Everything after that takes care of itself.

1

Take a selfie

Open the app and snap a quick photo. The ghost overlay shows your previous selfie so you can maintain consistent framing. Mirrorless mode blurs the viewfinder if seeing yourself is hard today.

2

The AI reads your face

Within seconds, Gemini analyzes your photo and scores your active tracks. Mood, energy, skin clarity, whatever you're tracking. Review the assessment, adjust any scores that feel wrong, or just accept and save.

3

Add context (or don't)

Tag what happened, leave a note, record a voice memo. Or skip all of it —the selfie and AI scores alone are a complete entry. Come back later and add details when you're ready. The app auto-saves if you navigate away.

4

Watch the patterns emerge

After a week, you'll see trends. After a month, you'll see correlations —how sleep affects your skin, how stress shows up in your face before you feel it, how your energy tracks with the weather. The longer you journal, the more the data teaches you about yourself.
