Capture change without changing the frame. SameFrame helps you recreate the same photograph over time. Place an earlier image over the live camera as an adjustable guide, line up the angle, zoom and composition, then capture a consistent follow-up. Use SameFrame for home renovations, gardens, restoration projects, fitness progress, hair growth, pets, artwork, construction records and any change worth seeing clearly. CAPTURE THE SAME VIEW Use a previous photograph as a translucent guide over the live camera. Adjust its opacity, use the grid and level, and line up the scene before taking your next photograph. COMPARE WHAT CHANGED View two photographs with an interactive before-and-after slider, create a side-by-side comparison, or use additional Pro comparison modes to make subtle changes easier to see. BUILD A VISUAL TIMELINE Organise photographs into projects, choose any previous frame as your next reference and set an optional reminder for your next capture.
