PersonalityVIEW helps you understand yourself and the people around you. A short, carefully built assessment measures four axes of personality preference: where your energy comes from, how you take things in, how you decide, and how you meet the world. Together they map to 16 personality types across four families: Beacons, Compasses, Currents, and Anchors. Choose the test length that fits your moment: a two-minute Quick read, a steadier Standard run, or the In-depth version for the most reliable result. See the shape of your profile on an interactive chart, and retake the test any time to watch it settle. When an axis is too close to call, your result says so, whatever the length. Every type comes with rich insights: your traits, potential, career paths, relationships, and growth areas. Home opens with your type at a glance: a short summary, then cards to swipe through on your strengths, your watch-outs, you at work and with others, how you communicate, how you handle stress, and how you grow. A new insight arrives every week, written for your type, and the last 20 weeks stay on hand to reread. Add friends and see how your profiles fit, axis by axis: where you lean the same way, and where you usefully differ. The match follows your latest results and updates when either of you retakes the test. With a subscription, each friendship also gets its own AI-written read, based on both people's actual scores: how you click, how you talk, how you handle disagreements, everyday life together, and how you grow. Create circles for your couple, family, friends, or team, and invite people with a code or a link. Once two or more have joined, you see how the group mixes, and an AI-written profile describes the whole circle: its strengths and watch-outs first, then how it collaborates, communicates, makes decisions, and handles conflict, its blind spots, and how to get the best out of everyone. When the group changes, the profile is rewritten. It takes just one member with a subscription for everyone in the circle to read it. On a renewing premium plan, an AI coach that knows your result answers your questions about work, relationships, and growth, with conversations kept private. Type your messages or dictate them by voice. Premium also unlocks the full written profile for your type and removes ads everywhere in the app. Want it all about you? The Personal Edition rewrites your whole profile from your exact scores, in your language, and comes with a PDF report to keep. It is a one-off purchase, not a subscription. You can also unlock one friend match in depth on its own. And to bring every type to life, your profile and all 16 type pages feature famous people whose biographies illustrate each type. Start as a guest with no account: your result stays on your device until you decide to keep it. Download PersonalityVIEW and start seeing yourself, and others, more clearly.

A haircut lasts a few weeks. The scan lasts forever. Crown turns a haircut into a 3D model you can turn, zoom and share. Walk around the head with your phone for a few seconds, and Crown builds the whole cut: front, sides, back and the top of the head. It lands in your vault, ready to show, compare and share. THE WHOLE CUT, NOT ONE ANGLE A photo shows one side. A scan shows the fade, the lineup, the texture on top and how it all meets at the back. Turn it with a finger. Zoom into the detail. Switch the lighting. See the cut the way the client sees it in the mirror, from every side at once. FOR BARBERS Build a body of work that shows what you can do. Add the client's name, the date, your notes and tags, and find any cut again in seconds. Keep a blueprint with each scan: sides, top, nape and the notes that make the cut repeatable. Next time the client sits down, pull up the last one and go. FOR CLIENTS Keep a copy of a cut you loved. Show it to your barber next time, or take it to a new shop and skip the explaining. Your scans are yours, for as long as you want them. SHARE IT ANYWHERE Every scan gets a link and a QR code. Send it by message, email or anywhere else, and it opens in any browser. No app, no account, no sign-up for the person on the other end. Your name, shop and Instagram go on the page with it. You decide how long a link lives, from one day to 90, and you can cancel it any time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Scans are stored privately. Only you, and the people you share a link with, can open them. Before every scan, Crown asks for the agreement of the person being scanned, and keeps a record of it. WHAT'S INCLUDED - A guided scan with a quality setting for every situation, from a quick 15 second pass to three minutes of detail - Scanning that finishes in the background, with a notification when the model is ready - Uploads that carry on if you leave the app - A vault that holds every scan, with search by name, title or tag - A 3D viewer with six lighting presets and auto-rotate - Share links and QR codes that open in any browser - Notes, tags and a blueprint on every scan - Sign in with Apple, or with email and password Some accounts pay per scan. For them, a scan credit is sold as a one-time in-app purchase. Crown is made for barbers and the people in their chairs. Questions and ideas: https://crown-viewer.onrender.com/support
