## What is Duchenne Smile Coach & Trainer?

Duchenne is your smile coach: it trains the genuine, eye-engaging smile you need for interviews, weddings, and every photo that matters.

Five minutes of daily practice. Progress you can see.

Duchenne uses TrueDepth, your iPhone's face-mapping camera, to give you real-time feedback on the actual face muscles behind a real smile. It all runs on-device, with nothing ever uploaded.

WHAT'S INSIDE

NEW: THE SMILE GUIDE
A short, narrated walkthrough that shows what makes a smile genuine, how Duchenne scores it, and the common mistakes that hold your score back. Watch it once and every session makes sense.

THREE SCORES, EVERY SESSION
Every Quick Train and Challenge breaks your smile down into Eye Crinkle, Mouth, and Symmetry, so you can see exactly what's working and what to practice next.

DAILY CHALLENGES
A short, guided session every day. Each one builds on the last, training the small face muscles that turn a posed smile into a genuine one. Five minutes is enough.

QUICK TRAIN
Hold a genuine smile for five seconds: the warm-up before the moment that matters. Pre-interview. Pre-photo. Pre-presentation. Pre-first-date. A focused session that gets your face ready when there's no time to waste.

GALLERY
Capture a photo each day and watch your progress over weeks, not minutes. Seeing the change is the motivation that keeps you going.

ACHIEVEMENTS
Streaks, milestones, and quietly satisfying wins that turn practice into a habit you actually look forward to.

EVENT MODE
Add the wedding, the interview, the photoshoot, the speech, and Duchenne ramps up your training so you walk in ready. The closer the date, the more focused the practice.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Brides and grooms preparing for wedding photos they'll keep forever
• Job candidates walking into final-round interviews, headshot prep and interview prep in one
• Students getting ready for prom, graduation, and senior photos
• Content creators and anyone who lives on camera
• Public speakers, presenters, and anyone with a stage moment ahead
• Actors, models, and broadcasters refining their professional range
• Anyone who finds smiling on command awkward, stiff, or unnatural

WHY IT WORKS
A genuine smile is a learnable skill, not a fixed trait. The Duchenne smile activates specific face muscles around the eyes, and like any muscle pattern, it responds to deliberate practice. Duchenne is built around short, repeatable training that builds the muscle memory of a real smile, with specific, real-time feedback instead of vague tips.

PRIVACY FIRST
Face scanning runs entirely on your iPhone, never on our servers. Your face is never uploaded. Your photos stay on your device, or in your own private iCloud if you turn on backup. No account needed.

FREE TO START
Duchenne is free to download and free to keep using. The free version includes two daily sessions, a rotating challenge, a 30-day gallery, and one upcoming event, enough to build the habit and feel the difference.

DUCHENNE PREMIUM
Upgrade when you're ready and unlock everything:

• Unlimited daily sessions
• 20+ unique challenges
• Gallery that keeps your full history (no 30-day cutoff)
• Up to 5 active events
• Share and export your progress
• iCloud backup across devices
• Detailed stats and progress tracking
• Ad-free training

Manage or cancel anytime in two taps from inside the app.

SUPPORT
I'm a solo developer and I read every email. If something isn't working or you have an idea, write to me, I'll write back.

Note: Duchenne is a confidence and self-presentation coaching app. It is not a substitute for professional medical, dental, or psychological care.
