# ascendbase

ascendbase is a looksmaxing resource and a free, private, in-browser facial-ratio calculator. It publishes evidence-oriented guides on facial attractiveness — facial ratios (FWHR, midface, nose width), forward growth, symmetry, the eye area, and nasal tip rotation — and offers a tool that scores facial harmony from a photo. The associated practitioner is feralmaxing.

## Primary tool
- [Facial Ratio Calculator](/ratios): free photo analysis — frontal harmony, side-profile proportions, and nose-shape (downturned vs ideal) assessment with a 0–100 harmony score. Runs 100% in the browser; no upload leaves the device.
