Stop buying. Start finishing. Project Pan helps you finish the makeup and skincare you already own. Add your products, choose what to use up next, log every use and celebrate every empty. Buy less, waste less, and finally know what's in that drawer. YOUR MAKEUP BAG IN YOUR POCKET Add lipsticks, serums, foundations and creams with a photo, brand, category, shade, price, opening date and expiry. See how full each product is at a glance. Search, filter, and group products into your own collections, like "Travel bag" or "Wedding makeup". SET A GOAL AND ACTUALLY FINISH IT Add the products you want to use up to your plan. Set a goal by target date or by number of uses and watch the progress bar fill. You always know how many days or uses are left. EMPTIES AND SAVINGS When a product is done, move it to Empties. Project Pan counts what you finished, how long each one took, and the value you used up, so every empty feels like a small win. PAN IT WITH FRIENDS Add friends by username or email and see each other's collections, plans and empties. Share your profile link and choose exactly what is visible. Invite a friend: when they join with your code, you both get a month of Premium. TAKE A NO-BUY BREAK Start a 7, 14 or 30-day no-buy, or pick your own end date. Track every day, share your progress and celebrate when you make it. SPIN AND DECIDE Can't decide what to use today? Spin the wheel and let it pick from your collection. Use filters to narrow it down to a category. LOG EVERY USE One tap logs a use. Update fullness as the product goes down, and your usage history shows how often you really reach for it. MONTHLY AND YEARLY RECAPS Every month you get a short recap of what you finished and saved. At the end of the year, swipe through your year on Project Pan and share it as a story. GENTLE REMINDERS Optional reminders for expiry dates, plan deadlines, and products you haven't used this week. DETAILS • Categories for lips, face, eyes, nails, skincare, hair, body, fragrance and more • Opening date and expiry tracking • Photos from your camera or gallery • Prices in your own currency • Light and dark mode • Available in 30+ languages PAN PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Project Pan is free to start: up to 10 products, one product in your plan at a time, and one spin a week. Pan Premium unlocks unlimited products and stash, as many plan items as you like, goals by number of uses, unlimited spins, full usage history, and up to 10 photos per product. Subscriptions renew automatically; cancel anytime in your store settings. Use what you have. Buy less. Enjoy every empty.
