Did your hairline
actually change?

Most trackers answer that question with whatever the photo happened to look like. Topline measures three angles the same way every month, knows how much its own score wobbles, and says “stable” when the difference is smaller than that.

Analysis

Up 8 points since Aug 26, over 31 days. That is outside the measurement band, so it counts as a real move.

What one scan actually does

Under a minute, once a month. Most of the work is spent making sure the photograph is not what changed.

01 · FrameYour last scan, ghostedYour previous shot sits at 30% behind the viewfinder so you line your head up on it. Front, Side, Crown, the same three every month.
02 · CaptureThree frames per angleNine photographs a scan, 200ms apart. One soft frame moves the result by a third of what it used to.
03 · RefuseBad light never becomes a scoreBacklit against a window, underexposed, out of focus, or three frames that disagree with each other: the scan is refused and asks for a retake. Nothing is saved and nothing is charged.
04 · ReadScored three times, averagedEach set of frames is assessed independently against the same fixed rubric, then averaged. The spread between them is the scan telling you how sure it is.
The measurement band

An instrument that knows what it cannot see

Two scans of the same head, three hours apart, in different light, can differ by several points. Every hairline app on your phone would show you that difference as progress.

Topline measures its own wobble and refuses to print anything smaller. Inside the band the chip says stable, not “+3”. A second scan the same week replaces the first instead of adding a point to your trend. The written analysis stays quiet until a month has passed, because that is how fast hair moves.

You lose a few green arrows. You gain a number that means something when it finally moves.

OverallStable

+3 over 34 days. Inside the band, so it reads as unchanged, not as a gain.

Retake · Aug 26retake

Two scans the same day. The second replaces the first; you choose which one the trend keeps.

Crown▲ +20

Outside the band and 31 days apart. This one is real, and it is the only one wearing colour.

Why bother

The mirror lies twice a day

Bathroom light at 8am and 11pm tell you two different stories about the same head. Topline gates the light instead of averaging the panic.

Your photos stay on your phone

Scans are analyzed in flight and never written to our storage. There is no photo column in our database and no image bucket. No email, no password.

You find out if the routine works

Started something six months ago? The trend answers in points, and only when the difference is bigger than the instrument. That is the whole reason to keep the receipts.
