Sharp is a skin analysis and routine app for men who would rather measure than guess. Point your camera to your face for 10 seconds, and get a clear skin score from 0 to 100. No fluff, no beauty talk, just a number you can actually track. Every scan breaks your skin down into six measurable dimensions: • Clarity • Oil • Redness • Pores and texture • Eyes • Hydration From there, Sharp builds you an 8-week plan. Simple AM and PM steps, water, and a few lifestyle habits that actually move the needle. Check them off daily. Small steps, every day. Once a week you re-scan. The app compares your new photo to the last one, looks at how consistent you have been, and adjusts the plan. Stuck after weeks of doing everything right? It swaps the active ingredients. Skipping days? It keeps the plan and pushes you to stay consistent. That is the whole loop: scan, follow, re-scan, improve. Why men use Sharp: • A real score, not vague advice • Before and after photos that prove what is working • A plan that fits a normal morning, not a 10-step ritual • Clean, private, and straight to the point Most guys see visible change after six to eight weeks of consistent care. The hard part was never the products. It was knowing what to do and sticking to it. Sharp handles both. Your photos and data stay yours. Delete your account anytime and everything goes with it, on this device and on our servers. Important: Sharp gives you a cosmetic score, not a medical diagnosis. It is not a substitute for advice from a doctor or dermatologist. Subscriptions required: Your first scan and skin score are free during onboarding. Sharp's core features, including the personalized 8-week routine, product recommendations, weekly re-scans, plan adjustments, and progress tracking, require an active Sharp subscription (monthly auto-renewing plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase). The exact price and length are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and auto-renewing subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Never managed to stick with yoga? Start with one minute. Mivu is yoga and stretching for real beginners, with the motivation built in: the apps that eat your mornings stay locked until you've moved. No willpower, no guilt, just a few easy minutes before the feed. Pick the apps that eat your mornings and a time. At that time Apple Screen Time locks them behind a calm Mivu screen. Open Mivu, do a short practice in front of the camera, and everything unlocks for the rest of the day. HOW IT WORKS • Choose your apps: social, news, games, whole categories or websites • Set your morning: a time and your days, every day or weekdays • Practise for 1 to 15 minutes: yoga, stretching or meditation • The camera checks that you're moving. Holds and slow flows count, idle standing doesn't • Hit your minutes and your apps open again GUIDED, POSE BY POSE • Morning yoga: a Sun Salutation or a gentle beginner flow, one move per breath • Stretch routines: full body, neck & shoulders or lower back, one side and then the other • Breathing: calm down, focus, relax or wake up with four guided techniques • A clear picture of every pose, the next one shown in advance, and soft sounds and taps so you can follow without staring at the screen MADE FOR YOUR BACK, NECK AND SLEEP Tell Mivu what bothers you and how much you move. It recommends a practice and a length that fits, starting at one minute for beginners, and shows the research behind it. A REASON TO COME BACK TOMORROW Every morning adds a flame. Watch your week fill in, collect badges at 3, 7, 14, 30, 60 and 100 days, and keep your history on any iPhone you sign in to. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Camera frames are analysed on your iPhone and never recorded or uploaded • Apple never tells us which apps you lock • No ads, no tracking across apps, no selling data • Delete your account in the app at any time MIVU PRO Try everything free for 14 days, then choose a yearly or monthly subscription, or pay once for lifetime access. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at the end of the free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your Apple ID settings. Used Mivu before version 1.2? It stays free for you. Available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Mivu is a wellness app, not medical advice. If you have pain, an injury or a medical condition, talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
