Folliclever

Scalp tracking for people treating hair loss

See whether your hair treatment is actually working.

Hair changes too slowly to notice in the mirror. Folliclever turns guided photos of the same scalp areas into honest, comparable estimates, so month six is measured against month one, not against memory.

The problem

Tracking hair by eye doesn't work

You're investing months and money in a treatment, and the only way to judge it is a hunch.

01

It moves too slowly to see

Most hair treatments take months to show anything. Day to day, the mirror shows you nothing at all.

02

Your photos aren't comparable

Different light, distance and angle make two photos of the same spot look like different scalps.

03

It's easy to fool yourself

Hope and worry both bend memory. Without a fixed reference, you can't tell progress from wishful thinking.

How it works

From a quick photo to a clear picture

A scan takes a few minutes. The consistency is what makes the comparison meaningful.

  1. 1

    Pick an area

    Hairline, either temple, mid-scalp or crown. Each comes with plain instructions for where to point the camera.

  2. 2

    Capture with guidance

    The live camera checks light, focus and steadiness while you shoot, so your photos stay consistent from month to month.

  3. 3

    Get an honest estimate

    Density, hair thickness and the share of thinner hairs, each as a range with a confidence rating.

  4. 4

    Compare over time

    Put up to four scans side by side and see the change as a percentage, but only when it's clear.

Honest by design

We'd rather say “no clear change” than sell you a false win

A photo can't count every hair. So instead of a confident-looking number that could mean nothing, you get what the photo can actually support.

  • Every result is a range with a confidence rating, never a single exact number.
  • A change is only reported when the ranges don't overlap. Otherwise: “No clear change.”
  • Shares such as thinner hairs are compared in percentage points, so 20% to 30% reads as 10 points, not “up 50%”.
  • If two scans were analysed with different models, we warn you the difference may come from the analysis.

What you see for one measure

Density

Moderate confidence

100220 hairs/cm²

Likely 140–160 hairs/cm²

The bar shows the range the photo supports, not a point. When your next scan's range sits clear of this one, that's a real change. When they overlap, it's not.

What you get

Everything you need to follow your progress

Guided camera capture

Step-by-step framing for five scalp areas, with a live camera view and a retake at any point.

Live quality checks

Too dark, too bright, blurry or moving? You're told before you take the shot, not after you've wasted it.

Ranges, not fake precision

Every number is an estimate range with a confidence score. A photo can't measure exactly, so we don't pretend.

Side-by-side comparison

Pick any two to four scans. See each measure with its percentage change from your first or previous scan.

Unclear photos say so

If a photo doesn't show scalp clearly, you get a low-confidence result instead of made-up numbers.

Private by design

Photos live in private storage and are only ever shown to you through links that expire.

Your photos, your data

Scalp photos are personal. We treat them that way.

Private storage

Photos are kept in a private bucket. There are no public links.

Expiring links

You see your photos through links that stop working after 15 minutes.

Questions

Good things to know before you start

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. Folliclever gives estimates from photos to help you follow your own progress. It doesn't diagnose hair loss or its cause, and it can't tell you which treatment to use. Speak to a doctor or dermatologist for that.

How accurate are the numbers?

They are estimates from photos, which is why they're shown as ranges with a confidence rating. Results are most useful when compared with your own earlier scans of the same area, taken the same way.

What do I need to get good results?

A phone or laptop camera, steady even lighting, and the same area, distance and angle each time. The capture screen walks you through it and warns you about poor light or blur.

How often should I scan?

Treatments usually take months, so every few weeks is plenty. Scanning daily just adds noise. Try to keep the time of day and lighting the same.

What does it cost?

You can sign up, scan and compare for free today. Some extras, such as several photos in one scan, are being rolled out to premium accounts.

Who can see my photos?

Only you. They're stored privately and displayed through short-lived links, and you sign in with Google, so there's no password for us to hold.

Take your first scan today. Judge the results in three months.

Your first scan is the baseline everything else is measured against. The sooner it exists, the more your progress shows.
