Do you want to actually use your makeup collection instead of just looking at it? Panwise is the makeup tracker for your Project Pan. I built Panwise because I couldn’t find an app like it myself. I wanted to know which products I really use, how long it takes me to finish them, and whether my collection is actually getting smaller. And I wanted tracking to be as simple as possible. That’s how Panwise came to life: made by a panner for the panning community. An app that fits easily into your daily routine and makes your progress visible. — TRACK WITH ONE TAP Logging a use only takes a moment. Tap a product or choose “Used All Today” to check in your entire daily lineup at once. KEEP YOUR PROJECT PAN IN SIGHT The Active Panning screen keeps all the products you’re currently trying to finish in one place, so you always know what to focus on. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Log your product’s weight or add a progress photo. Over time, you can watch it slowly disappear. Seeing that change makes it so much easier to stay motivated. EASILY CATCH UP ON MISSED DAYS Forgot to log yesterday’s products? No problem. Use the calendar to add past entries and see exactly which products you used on each day. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU REALLY USE The dashboard shows which products you use most often, how much you’ve invested in your collection, and which products you’ve already finished. ALL THE IMPORTANT DETAILS IN ONE PLACE Save each product’s name, brand, shade, category, opening date, shelf life, price, and personal notes. GET A SHELF LIFE REMINDER Choose whether you’d like to be reminded when an opened product reaches the end of its stated shelf life. EVERY EMPTY COUNTS An empty is more than just an empty package. It shows that you truly used a product. Panwise captures that moment and celebrates your progress with you. — Panwise is for anyone who wants to be more intentional with their makeup collection, finish the products they already own, and stay motivated throughout their Project Pan. No ads. No subscription. Available in English and German. I develop Panwise myself, and I’d love to hear from you when you finish your first product with it.
