Trimr
Read full descriptionHide full description
Trimr turns four guided selfies into a trim plan you can actually follow β with the millimetres on it. YOUR BEARD, SCORED One scan gives you a Beard Score out of 96, built from six parts: symmetry, fade, neckline, jaw definition, moustache and density. The number and all six parts are free. It stops at 96 on purpose β a length read off a photograph carries a millimetre or two of error, and nobody's beard is ever finished. A PLAN WITH NUMBERS ON IT β’ A shape for your face β cheek line, neckline and moustache based on your own proportions, not a generic style guide. β’ Exact length targets β millimetres for chin, cheeks and sideburns, so you set a guard instead of guessing halfway through. β’ A trim order β the steps in the sequence a barber would use them. TRIMR MIRROR Point the front camera at yourself and your plan is drawn on your own face, following your head as it moves: every zone in its colour, its millimetres beside it, one instruction at a time. It all happens on your phone β no frame of that camera leaves it. Without a subscription you get fifteen seconds of it free. THE AI BARBER Your plan, one step at a time. Read the step, do it, photograph it, and Trimr tells you whether that step is done, not yet, or that it cannot tell from the photo. No step left half-finished. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A free widget with your Beard Score, the day it was measured and what today actually needs β on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen and in StandBy. On a quiet day it counts down to the next job instead of inventing one. MEASURED GROWTH, NOT GUESSWORK Scan again over time and Trimr fits your real growth rate across every scan β averaged over three measured areas, so one bad reading does not throw it off. The Beard Timeline stacks every scan with its score and what changed since the one before it. It also stays quiet when it cannot be honest. Two scans a day apart cannot measure growth: facial hair adds about a third of a millimetre a day, far less than the error in reading a length off a photo. Trimr says so instead of inventing a number. REMINDERS THAT KNOW WHY A nudge when your beard has actually passed the length your plan set β or when your neckline is probably growing out and three minutes would fix it. Not just because a fortnight has gone by. STYLE PREVIEWS See a boxed beard, a Van Dyke or a full Garibaldi on your own face before you commit. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Your selfies create your plan and are then discarded. They are only kept if you switch on "Keep my scan photos", and switching it back off deletes every photo we hold. Stored photos are never public β each one is served only to the account it belongs to. FIVE LANGUAGES English, Nederlands, Deutsch, FranΓ§ais and TΓΌrkΓ§e, including the reminders you receive. SUBSCRIPTION Trimr Premium buys the instructions: your trim plan's steps and millimetres, the AI Barber, the Mirror past its free look, and the fix for every part of your score. The score itself, the widget and your newest scans stay free. 3 days free for new subscribers, then billed monthly or yearly through your Apple ID. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of that point.
