How to choose a looksmaxxing app
- A breakdown, not just a number. Per-metric scores tell you what to work on. A single score does not.
- A plan. The best apps turn results into daily actions.
- Rescans. You need a way to compare scans and see whether anything is changing.
- Clear privacy. Read what the app says about storing and using your photo.
- Honest limits. Any AI score from one photo is an estimate.
Measure your face and get a daily plan
Hexum
Maps 247 facial landmarks from one photo, scores 34 metrics (symmetry, jawline, skin quality, facial thirds, canthal tilt and more), gives a 0 to 100 Overall Score with a percentile, and builds a daily improvement protocol of about 38 minutes a day. Also includes an AI coach and rescans. Free to download with a free first scan. iPhone only, iOS 17+.
UMAX
One of the best-known apps in the category. Its App Store listing describes a face scan that produces a PSL-style score with ratings such as symmetry, canthal tilt and skin quality, plus tips. Several similarly named Umax and LooksMax apps exist, so check the developer.
PSL-style rating apps
These estimate a score on the informal 1 to 8 PSL scale. See our PSL calculator guide.
- Adonis: PSL Scale & Ascend – a PSL score, a list of top strengths (halos) and weaknesses (failos), and a 90-day plan.
- Ascendr – PSL Scale Ascender – a PSL score from structure, symmetry and proportions, with factors such as jawline, eye area and midface ratio.
- PSL Rank – scores across 12 PSL categories, assigns a tier and a daily plan.
- PSLScore – Face Analysis AI – a 0 to 8 score with a percentile and measurements such as canthal tilt and FWHR.
- Looksmaxxing – PSL Face Rating – a PSL face rating with general aesthetic suggestions.
Face rating and report apps
- Face Rating – LooksMaxxing AI – evaluates traits such as jawline, eyes and skin from uploaded photos.
- Halomax: AI Face Rating – a face report from a selfie with no login. Its developer says the photo is sent for a single analysis and not stored or used for training; that is a developer claim.
- FaceMax: Face Rating AI – a face rating, with a premium tier for the full report, recommendations and progress tracking.
- LooksMax Rate AI – ratings with recommendations on skincare, hairstyle, clothing and accessories.
Glow-up and routine apps
- MogU: Glow Up – a daily routine builder covering grooming, skincare, hydration, sleep and posture.
- Gloura AI – analysis of symmetry, skin quality and proportions, with daily routines and tracking.
- Best Of You – Max Your Looks – face scans plus skincare, mewing and face yoga content.
- DailyGlowUp – described in a third-party listing as photo-based skin analysis with a personalized routine. We could not confirm its App Store details.
3D face scanning
- FaceKit: 3D Face Analysis – describes itself as a 3D face-scanning tool for structure and proportions, rather than a daily routine app.
