GuanPalm

Most of us have looked at our own palm at some point and wondered what somebody who knew the old systems would make of it. It's a small, idle curiosity, the kind you'd happily spend a minute on.

GuanPalm is built for exactly that minute. You give it one photo of your palm, its AI traces the lines, and you get back a card laid out like a magazine page, with a reading drawn from classical Ma-Yi palmistry. The site says this takes about 60 seconds and needs no sign-up.

The free edition is a complete reading. It covers the seven primary palm lines and a five-element overview on a shareable card, and sharing unlocks another free reading. The interface comes in Traditional Chinese, Japanese and English. The FAQ is upfront about what this is, too: treat the result as reflective entertainment, never as a prediction or professional advice.

If you like your card, the home page lists a Master Collector's Edition at $1. That adds a watermark-free redesign with more detail on the branch lines and a separate 30-day fortune calendar image, both downloadable.

Other pages give different figures. The Japanese commercial transactions page prices the Master edition at 150 yen, tax included, as a one-time purchase. The terms page mentions single purchases at $2.99 and $5.99 and a $2.99 monthly subscription, and says single purchases aren't refunded once a card has been generated. These pages don't agree with each other, so go by the amount shown at checkout.

The home page carries a badge reading Photos never stored. The privacy policy, written in Traditional Chinese, gives the fuller picture. It says the palm photo is used only to generate the card and report, is sent to OpenAI for processing, and that some image requests pass through an intermediary it names as nanoapi. By the policy's account, the original photo is released when the request ends, isn't written to permanent storage and isn't used for model training.

What is kept is the output. The policy says the generated card's link lasts 7 days and deep reports are cached for 30 days. Free use is limited with an anonymous fingerprint built from browser details such as time zone and screen size.

The policy names the operator as PROTECH株式会社 in Tokyo. Don't be thrown by the address bar: the site lives at linkinstant.jp, which doesn't match the GuanPalm name, and the legal pages are available only in Chinese and Japanese. If you're comfortable with all that, the free reading makes a fun thing to try with a friend and compare cards.
