FaceAlarm
Track your face transformation daily. AI-powered alarm that won’t turn off until you take a selfie — perfect for face yoga, gua sha, and skincare routines.
The Problem
Wife runs a face massage coaching business. Her clients needed a daily reminder tool with progress tracking. No good app existed — all face yoga apps were either video courses (no tracking) or generic timers (no face focus). Built one.
How It Works
- Set alarm — daily reminder at your preferred time
- Take selfie — alarm won’t turn off until you take a photo (AI verifies it’s a real face)
- Track progress — see your transformation over days, weeks, months
- Follow routines — guided face yoga and gua sha exercise sequences
Features
- Daily selfie alarm — consistent tracking without willpower
- AI face verification — on-device, no server, no photo uploads
- Progress timeline — before/after comparisons over time
- Guided exercises — face yoga, gua sha, skincare routines
- Privacy-first — all photos stay on device, no registration required
Stack
- iOS: Swift + SwiftUI + CoreML + Apple Foundation Models
- Android: Kotlin + Jetpack Compose
- AI: on-device face detection and verification — zero API cost
- Monetization: StoreKit 2 (iOS), Google Play Billing (Android)

- one-pain-one-feature-launch — classic: one pain (wife’s business), one feature (alarm), launched
- privacy-as-architecture — all photos on-device, no cloud
- portfolio-approach — one product in the barbell portfolio
