Change happens gradually. Novus helps you capture it. Create visual projects for fitness journeys, personal transformations, skincare, plants, pets, renovations, creative work and anything else that develops over time. ADD PROGRESS EASILY Take photos with the camera or choose existing images from your library. Add up to ten photos to an entry, include notes and adjust when each moment was captured. SEE HOW FAR YOUβVE COME Browse progress chronologically using timeline or grid views. Compare any two photos side by side or reveal the difference using an interactive comparison slider. TURN PROGRESS INTO PLAYBACK Watch selected photos develop into a visual timeline. Adjust playback speed, scrub through each moment, loop the sequence and export it as a video. BUILD CONSISTENCY Choose a photo frequency, schedule optional reminders and follow project-specific streaks. QUICK ADD Capture or import photos first, then assign them to a project without interrupting the moment. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Novus requires no account and stores your projects, notes and photos locally on your device. Optional App Lock protects your progress using Face ID or your device passcode. YOUR PROGRESS. YOUR WAY. Personalise Novus with a selection of carefully designed colour themes, save photos and comparisons directly to Photos, and organise each journey separately. Progress can be difficult to notice while it is happening. Novus helps you look back and see just how much has changed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Novus Progress at weekly against Vivup's monthly. Vivup's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
