Panwise
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Skincare from real people, not influencers. Beauty discovery is broken. Social media is full of paid promotions and sponsored content that's impossible to trust and retail reviews tell you what people bought, not whether it actually worked. Top Shelf is a community-led beauty discovery platform where real people share the products they actually use, the routines they actually follow, and the results they've actually achieved. Discover skincare and makeup routines from people with skin, concerns, and goals similar to your own. Save routines you love and uncover products worth repurchasing — not just products worth promoting. **Discover beauty through community** Browse real routines, honest reviews, shelf photos, and product recommendations from a growing community of skincare and makeup enthusiasts. **Build your shelf in seconds** Snap a photo of your bathroom counter and we'll identify your products instantly — no typing, no searching. Your shelf powers everything in the app. **Save routines you'll actually use** Keep track of products, routines, recommendations, and creators you love — all in one beautifully organized space. **Learn from real people** No paid influencers. No celebrity facials. No impossible standards. Just authentic routines, trusted recommendations, and real results from people who care about beauty as much as you do. **Analyze your routine** Our Ingredient Analyzer scans your shelf and flags conflicts, redundancies, and layering issues — so your routine actually works together. **Build Your Top Shelf** Create your own shelf, share your favorite products, showcase your routine, and help others discover products they'll love. Real Skin. Real Routines. Real Community.
