A photo record of your moles that actually holds up.
Mole Detective organises photos of your skin, finds the moles in them, and keeps each one matched up over time — so when you look at a mole today, you can see exactly what it looked like six months ago instead of trying to remember.
Photos of moles are surprisingly hard to keep
Most of us have dozens of moles, plenty of them somewhere we cannot easily see, and a camera roll where last year's photos are buried under everything else. Comparing one against another is where it all falls apart.
Out of sight
Your back and shoulders are the hardest places to photograph consistently on your own.
Nothing is labelled
An untagged photo from last spring tells you nothing about which mole is which.
Photos drift
Shots taken at different distances, angles and light are almost impossible to line up.
What Mole Detective does about it
Finds the moles in your photos
A detection model picks out every mole in a body photo, so you are not marking dozens of them by hand every time.
Matches them across sessions
The same mole is identified in this month's photo and last month's, even when the angle, distance and lighting are different.
Measures the difference
Size, colour and outline are compared between photos, and the ones that look different from last time are brought to the top of the list.
Maps your whole body
Photos from every angle are stitched into a 3D body map, so each mole has a fixed place you can return to.
A record worth having
Mole Detective does not assess your moles and offers no opinion on them. What it produces is a clear, dated photo record — the kind of thing that is genuinely useful to show a healthcare professional, because it answers the question they ask first: what did this look like before?
Dated history
Every photo of every mole, in order, with the dates attached.
Direct comparison
Any two dates side by side, with the measured difference between them.
Your photos, handled carefully
Private by default
Your images are yours. They are never published, sold, or shown to other users.
Encrypted storage
Images are stored in encrypted object storage and served only to your signed-in account.
Deletable
Delete an upload and the underlying image is removed from storage, not just hidden.
Read the privacy policy for the detail.
We are building this now — tell us what matters
Mole Detective has not launched yet, which means the roadmap is still open. The survey takes about three minutes and decides what we build next.
What this is, and what it is not
Mole Detective is a photo tracking tool. It records images and compares them — it does not examine your skin, assess anything, or tell you what any of it means. Anything to do with your health belongs with a qualified healthcare professional.
