Your beauty stash, organized. Vani is the simplest way to inventory every product you own (skincare, makeup, fragrance, haircare, and nail care) in one place. Know what's expiring, what you're actually using, what fits your skin, and what's just taking up shelf space. β€”β€”β€” KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR PRODUCTS Ingredient analysis matched to your skin. Set your skin type and concerns once, and Vani gives every product a clear verdict: a match score, the ingredients that fit your skin, and the ones worth a second look. No barcodes, no toxicity scare scores: just a plain-language read on what each ingredient actually does, grouped by benefit. Finally understand the label, not just the marketing. ADD PRODUCTS IN SECONDS Snap a photo and let AI do the typing. Vani's AI scan reads your product and fills in the details for you, no more tapping out every name by hand. Building your collection finally feels effortless. BUILD YOUR ROUTINES Set up morning and evening routines from the products you own, or add simple steps like "SPF". Schedule each step daily, on chosen weekdays, or every few days, then check it off with a tap. Each check-off logs a use on that product, so your usage stats stay accurate. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Your products, photos, lists and routines sync through iCloud, free for everyone. Everything is stored in your private iCloud, so Vani never sees it. EXPIRATION THAT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE Not every product expires the same way. Vani tracks three modes: PAO (period-after-opening), a printed expiration date, or never-expires. Enter a batch code and Vani automatically decodes the manufacture date, so you know the shelf life before you even open it. Get reminders before anything goes bad. EVERY CATEGORY. ONE APP. Skincare. Makeup. Fragrance. Haircare. Nail care. All five, tracked in one place with the right structure for each. YOUR USAGE, TRACKED. Log each use with a tap. See which products you actually reach for and which have been sitting untouched for months. Know what's earning its shelf space, and what isn't. STAY ORGANIZED, YOUR WAY. Build custom lists like "In My Rotation," "Running Low," or a "Wishlist" for what's next. Mark products as active, finished, or thrown away: the full lifecycle of every item in your collection. β€”β€”β€” β€’ Ingredient analysis with a skin-match verdict for every product β€’ Skin profile (type + concerns) to personalize each result β€’ Plain-language ingredient breakdown grouped by benefit β€’ AI scan to add products in seconds β€’ Expiration reminders before products go bad β€’ Batch code decoding to determine manufacture date β€’ PAO, expiry date, and never-expires tracking β€’ Usage frequency tracking β€’ Custom lists and collections β€’ Product status: active, finished, or thrown away β€’ Morning and evening routines with daily check-offs β€’ Free iCloud sync across all your devices β€’ Free for up to 20 products; upgrade for unlimited Terms of Use: https://stoicadianaa.github.io/vani/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://stoicadianaa.github.io/vani/privacy.html
