Why consistency matters

Progress in AGA is slow and easy to misjudge day-to-day — and the early minoxidil shed can look like it's getting worse. The only reliable read is same region, same angle, same distance, same light over months. The capture screen's ghost overlay, framing guide and live meters exist to make every shot match your baseline.

Grid Center Outline ghost Voice cues

Match your live view to the ghost, wait for all three meters to go green, then tap the shutter. For a crown shot, enable Voice cues so you don't need to see the screen.

Drag to wipe between the two dates. Same region + aligned framing = an honest read on change.

Install app

Install RunawayHair to your home screen for a full-screen, offline-capable app with camera access.

Reminders

Fires a local notification while the app is open or installed. Reliable background reminders need a hosted push service — out of scope for this private, on-device build.

Your data — stays on this device

Photos and regimen never leave your device. Export a backup before switching phones. Photos live in this browser's local database (IndexedDB).

Storage & privacy

  • No accounts, no servers, no third-party analytics or trackers.
  • Photos are downscaled to ~1600 px and stored as compressed JPEG blobs on-device.
  • Nothing is uploaded — verify in DevTools → Network.

Read the evidence

This app is the tracker. The full evidence map, treatment write-ups and articles live on the web hub — worth a read before or alongside your regimen.
