Locs take years. Locy keeps the whole arc in one calm place: where you are, what your hair needs this week, and how far you have already come. A JOURNEY THAT SPANS YEARS Photograph your locs over time and watch the timeline fill in. Locy counts your loc age from the day you started, marks the stage you are in, and puts any two photos side by side so months of slow change become visible at once. ROUTINES THAT FIT YOUR HAIR Set your own rhythm for misting, moisturising, oiling, washing and retwisting. Locy reminds you on the days that matter and keeps a streak of the care you actually did, not the care you meant to do. Log care whenever it fits your day, review your completion history, and see your care reflected on Today. Reminders stay on your device. KNOW WHAT IS IN THE BOTTLE Photograph the front of a product and Locy reads the label, looks up the formula, and scores it against your porosity, stage and routine. Every flagged ingredient is explained and linked to published sources, including the EU CosIng annexes and ECHA substance records, so you can see why a score is what it is instead of taking a number on faith. THE LOC LIBRARY A field guide to the whole journey: washing, moisture, retwisting, scalp, choosing products, troubleshooting, and keeping locs healthy for the long run. Filtered to your stage, written to be read when you need it. ASK YOUR COMPANION A companion that already knows your stage, your routine and what you have scanned. Ask about wash rhythm, retwist timing, buildup, or what to use instead of something that is not working. It is an AI, so it can be wrong, and it will point you to a dermatologist or loctician rather than guess about anything medical. WHAT IS FREE Your full journey, routines, reminders and the entire Loc Library, plus four product scans and ten companion messages. LOCY PLUS An auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited product scans, unlimited companion messages, and your daily For you lineup: products matched to your locs, fresh every day. The full product catalogue is free to browse. Annual, monthly, and weekly plans are available. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your device Subscription settings. PRIVACY Your photos are yours. Journey photos and videos stay on your iPhone by default, with optional Locy backup. We do not sell your photos or use them to train our own models. Scanned product photos are read by an AI processor to identify the label. Sending a photo to the companion for analysis asks your permission first. Optional tracking permission lets TikTok measure Locy installs and opens using device identifiers and technical app information. Your Locy photos, conversations, profile, purchases and subscription information are not shared with TikTok. You can decline or revoke tracking permission without losing access to Locy.
