Your hair regrowth journey, tracked in one place. The Capillus App connects to your Capillus Red Light Therapy Cap over Bluetooth and gives you everything you need to stay consistent with your treatment, from session timers to progress photos. TREATMENT TRACKER Connect your cap via Bluetooth, start your 6-minute session, and let the app log it. Every completed session is automatically recorded in your weekly and monthly calendar, so you always know exactly where you stand. The recommended protocol is one session per day, and the app helps you stick to it. PROGRESS TRACKER Take high-quality progress photos from four different angles: crown, temples, and front hairline, and the app organizes them into albums automatically. Compare before-and-after photos side by side to see your own regrowth journey unfold over time. STAY ON TRACK Personalize your account settings, manage treatment reminders, and get hair care tips designed to help you get the most out of every session. BACKED BY FDA-CLEARED TECHNOLOGY Capillus laser caps use FDA-cleared, clinically studied red light therapy (low-level laser therapy) to support hair regrowth. The Capillus App works with Bluetooth-enabled Capillus devices to help you track your treatment and stay consistent. Learn more at capillus.com. Individual results may vary.

This is the official training app for members of Low Back Ability (https://lowbackability.com). Low Back Ability is the world's leading program for rebuilding your back. We offer a full training roadmap with form videos, specific sets and reps, and exercise techniques. === Features === - Curated workout plans - Interactive and engaging workout flows - Instructional videos for each exercise - Enhanced progress tracking === Disclaimer === Low Back Ability is NOT medical treatment or advice. We are an educational training plan that helps you do your own self-directed back workouts. Our fundamental goal is to help you LEARN about your back and understand that: 1.) The spine is meant to be stimulated & trained, NOT just protected & avoided. 2.) The spinal tissue can be rebuilt to improve strength, function & mobility. The reason this can be true for everyone is that LBA is simply a DIRECTIONAL tool, not an absolute framework. EVERYONE has their own level of stimulus to the spine that is productive. We are attempting to help you find YOUR productive level. === Important Links === You can find our terms of service here: https://www.lowbackability.com/terms-of-service You can find our privacy policy here: https://www.lowbackability.com/privacy-policy You can find our FAQs page here: https://www.lowbackability.com/faq You can find our support page here: https://www.lowbackability.com/support
