Know if your hair treatment is working.
Hairbook keeps the whole treatment in one place: every dose, progress photos that line up from one session to the next, check-ins and lab results. So when someone asks how the last six months went, you have the answer.

The problem
Treatment takes months. Memory doesn't.
Hair changes too slowly to see in the mirror, and the tools people use to follow it were never built for the job: a camera roll, a notes app and a pill box.

Photos that never match
A different angle and different light every time, so no two pictures can honestly be compared.
Doses you can't remember
Did you take last night's? A daily routine that runs for years needs more than memory.
Nothing to show the doctor
Three months between appointments, and the whole story comes down to "I think it's a bit better".
The product
One app for the whole treatment.
You and your doctor choose the regimen. Hairbook makes sure you can follow it, and see what it is doing.
Never wonder if you took it
Add your own treatments and times. Tick each dose, get a reminder that stops once you have, and keep a streak that forgives one slip a week.

Months of slow change, made visible
Slide between any two sessions, angle by angle. The comparison you could never make from a camera roll.

Check-ins and lab results
A short check-in on how things are going, and your blood work kept alongside it, so nothing lives in a drawer.
Adherence at a glance
Thirteen weeks of showing up, in one picture. Also on your Home Screen as a widget.
A streak that understands real life
One missed day a week is forgiven, and a dose ticked after midnight can still count for the day it belongs to.
Something to show your doctor
Check-ins, lab results and a one-tap report with your regimen, adherence and photos.
Private by design
Your photos and records sit in your own account, behind Face ID if you want. Only you can open them.
A moment for you
Finish your doses, take a quick selfie. A record of showing up, for the days progress feels far away.
Works without a signal
Opens instantly, and doses ticked offline sync on their own when you are back online.
Screens show sample data.
Progress photos
Every photo lines up with the last one.
A progress photo is only useful if it can be compared. Hairbook turns the camera into a guide, so the photo you take today matches the one from three months ago.
Your last photo becomes the guide
When you open the camera, an outline of your previous photo from that angle sits over the live view. Move until your head fills the outline, then take the shot. Same angle, same distance, every time.
Five angles, one guided session
Hairbook walks you through each angle in turn, so no session is missing the view you need later.
FrontLeftRightTopCrownOutline, see-through photo, or nothing
Choose the guide that suits you: a clean outline, your last photo as a faint overlay, or a plain camera.
Compare any two sessions
Because the photos match, the comparison is honest. Drag a slider across before and after, set them side by side, or blend one into the other.
SliderSide by sideBlendOn your schedule
Pick how often you take photos, from weekly to every six months. Hairbook reminds you when the next session is due.
How it works
Two minutes a day. One clear answer.
Add your regimen
Enter the treatments you already take, with your own doses and times. Tablets, topicals and supplements.
Tick, and take your photos
Tick doses as you go. On the schedule you choose, take a guided photo session that matches the last one.
See it, and share it
Compare any two sessions side by side and bring a complete record to your next appointment.

Company
Built by its first user.
"I looked for an app I would trust with photos of my own scalp. I didn't find one, so I built it."
Hairbook was started by an iOS engineer who began treatment in 2026 and found the hard part was everything around it: matching photos, remembering doses, and having something real to show a doctor.
It is designed and engineered end to end by one founder working with Claude as an engineering partner, from the first screen to the test suite. That is how a one-person company builds a product this complete, this fast.
