Frownie for Mac
Your resting face is frowning.
Scroll ↓How it works
Every frown caught the second it starts.
Frownie maps your whole face and watches the one place lines set in first: the space between your brows. The moment it tightens, you get a gentle nudge to let go.

Nudge sent. Let it go.
No injections · No appointments

Before you download
The questions everyone asks.
Mostly about the camera. Fair enough.
No. Every frame is read on your own machine and thrown away immediately — no video, no images and no personal data ever leave your Mac, so there is no footage of you anywhere to leak, sell or subpoena. There is no account. The only thing Frownie ever fetches is its own updates.
No. Frownie lets go of the camera the moment you lock your screen, your Mac sleeps, you stop typing for a few minutes, or you walk away from the desk. Not paused. Released. The green light next to your camera actually goes out, and you can watch it happen.
No, and it will not pretend to. Frownie works on the habit that deepens them. Every frown you catch today is one your face does not practise, and the line gets one less chance to set. For lines that have already formed, that is a conversation for your dermatologist.
It calibrates to your face first — about twelve seconds — then watches three separate signals: your brows lowering, your eyes tightening, and the skin between your brows creasing. Blinking, smiling, talking and looking away are deliberately thrown out, so a normal working face never sets it off. That last signal is why it still works if you wear glasses: frames hide your brows, but not the skin between them.
Only when you genuinely frown, and only after you have held it for a couple of seconds. One full-screen nudge, optionally with a sound, then a cooldown you set yourself before it can speak again. There are no notification banners to pile up and no badge to clear.
No. It takes a quick look a few times a second, eases off when you are on battery, and stops completely whenever you are away from the keyboard. Most of the day it is doing nothing at all.
A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 13 Ventura or later, and its built-in camera. One payment, no account and no subscription, and it updates itself. Lost your key? Recover it from the link in the footer.
Yes. It lives in your menu bar. One click to pause it, one click to quit, and it is gone until you decide to open it again.
