About

FaceName

Read full description

FaceName is an entertainment-focused, premium personal report app that interprets facial features through the symbolic lens of face-reading traditions from different cultures. You choose a photo; the app checks its suitability on your device and creates a premium, editorial visual report from facial proportions. The report is inspired by the symbolic interpretive frames of Ottoman-Sufi Sima, classical Western physiognomy, East Asian (Mian Xiang), and Indian (Samudrika) traditions. FaceName offers a cultural perspective and is intended for entertainment and personal reflection. It is not a scientific diagnosis, health assessment, psychological evaluation, or prediction of the future, and it does not provide definitive results. These interpretations are readings symbolically associated within traditional cultural frameworks. Highlights: • On-device photo quality check • Premium, editorial visual report based on facial proportions • Symbolic interpretive frames from four cultural traditions • Clean, minimal, aesthetic design

Your energy has a colour. Auria reveals it from a single selfie — processed entirely on your device and never uploaded — then turns it into an aura portrait, a live aura video, and a share-ready clip. WHAT'S INSIDE • Aura scan — take a selfie (or pick a photo) and watch your aura appear around you. • Live aura video — your aura follows you in the camera. Record up to 15 seconds. • 6 aura styles — Glow, Booth (the aura-photo-booth instant-film look), Kirlian, Holo, Halo and Prism. • Aura Battle — two photos, one winner, aura points for each. Friends, couples, you vs your dog. • Pet auras — Auria reads cats and dogs too. • Aura Journal — a calendar of every colour you've glowed, and your top colour of the month. • Share & save — animated aura videos and photos, ready for Stories and TikTok. INCLUDED FOR EVERYONE Scanning, the Glow and Booth styles, live video, Aura Battle, pet auras, the Journal and sharing.
