Which cream was it? The one that finally worked, two winters ago, in a white bottle. Vanity remembers it for you: every product you try, with a photo, a verdict and your own words about it. SNAP THE JAR Take a photo and Vanity cuts the product out of the background and reads the brand, name and size from the label. It all happens on your phone; nothing is uploaded. Check the fields, fix anything, and the product lands on its shelf. A VANITY THAT LOOKS LIKE ONE Skincare, Makeup and Perfume, each with its own hand-painted room. Inside: Face, Lips, Eyes, Hair, Body, Nails and more, and inside those, types like serum, SPF, mascara or lipstick. Add your own types when the list isn't enough. STAMPS, NOT STARS Holy grail. Repurchase. Meh. Never again. Four verdicts in the words you already use, pressed onto the product like a rubber stamp. A year later, "never again" tells you more than three stars ever did. USE IT BEFORE IT TURNS The Expiry tab lines up what runs out first, counted from the day you opened the jar and the months printed on it. FIND IT IN THE AISLE Search by brand, type or any word from your notes. Filter by stamp to see your holy grails at a glance. SHARE AND KEEP Send a friend a pretty PDF of your vanity with photos, stamps and notes. Keep a full backup in a ZIP file and restore it on a new phone. YOURS, ON YOUR PHONE No account and no server of ours. Photos and notes stay on your iPhone and, with Pro, sync through your own iCloud. In English, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Hindi, Ukrainian and Russian. FREE FOR 35 PRODUCTS The first 35 products are free, with every stamp, note, search and expiry date. Pro removes the limit and adds iCloud sync, backup and PDF export. If you cancel, everything you added stays.
