A transparent height-estimate app for iPhone
Start with a broad family range before paying. If you want more, Centile adds a model-specific personal estimate, dated measurements and optional general-wellbeing guidance—with the uncertainty left visible.
Centile for iPhone is preparing for App Store release.
How Centile works
Family context, a model-specific personal estimate and measured progress answer different questions. Centile does not blend them into one confident-looking score.
Enter two biological-parent adult heights and choose the published female or male calculation reference. The method and limits remain visible.
For ages 13 through 17½, the optional Khamis–Roche estimate also uses age, measured height and weight, with its model-specific reference band.
Keep dated measurements and an optional monthly reminder locally. Estimates and actual measurements are never presented as the same thing.
Built into the product
The product is designed around information you can inspect and controls you can use, rather than a remote profile you cannot see.
Dated height history, a chart with a text alternative and an optional local reminder keep observed progress distinct from calculated estimates.
Centile has no app account, analytics, advertising, tracking or cloud database. The profile remains on the device, subject to device access and Apple backup settings.
Trust and limitations
The broad family range uses a mid-parental calculation. The personal report uses the published Khamis–Roche method for its supported age range.
The family range and personal reference band answer different questions. Many people fall outside estimates, and individual error can be larger.
Sleep, nutrition and movement completion never changes a height prediction. The product does not claim those activities will increase skeletal height.
Free and Centile Plus
The family range and essential tracking are free. Centile Plus adds the personal report, complete measurement history and optional healthy-development tools.

Common questions
No. It provides educational estimates with visible uncertainty. Genetics, measurement error, health and individual development mean many people fall outside predicted ranges.
It uses a month and year of birth, the published female or male calculation reference, current measured height, two biological-parent adult heights and—for the personal estimate—current weight. It does not require a name, account or exact birth date.
Under the current release design, no. Profile, prediction, measurement and routine information stays in one protected app record on the device. Apple separately operates StoreKit purchases and device backups.
It is designed for people aged 13 or older and parents or guardians using it for or with a teenager. It is not medical advice or a substitute for a qualified health professional.
App Store availability will be added here after Apple’s release process is complete. The free family-range calculator and full method explanation are available now.
