Hi, I'm the one person building SkinFam 🌱
I grew up with eczema, and honestly, I still deal with it today. As a kid I never really understood what set it off, and neither did my parents, we were mostly guessing. So I built the calm little app I wish we'd had: somewhere to track your skin and slowly understand it, without judgment and without a diagnosis, just your own notes over time. For me, for my family, and hopefully for yours too.
🦘 A little different for kids
Instead of just a growing garden, each child gets a friendly kangaroo companion. When their skin's been itchy, it looks a little sad, tap it, "apply" the cream, and watch it cheer right up, while a flower quietly blooms behind it. A gentle, playful way for a child to feel part of their own routine, without it ever feeling clinical.

Is SkinFam a medical app?
No. It's a personal diary, like a journal for your skin. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything, and it's not a replacement for talking to a doctor.
Is it free?
Yes, free to use.
Do I need to make an account?
No accounts, no sign-up. Everything is set up right on your phone.
Is my data actually private?
Yes. Your diary, notes, and photos stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded automatically, and there's no advertising or tracking.
What ages is it for?
One profile for you, plus a separate profile for each child, each shown in an age-appropriate way, playful for kids, calmer for adults.
Can I use it just for myself, not my kids?
Yes, completely. Extra profiles are optional, plenty of people will just use their own.
