About

ProgressCam

Features
Read full description

See your progress clearly. ProgressCam lines up every new photo with your starting photo, so your before-and-after photos actually match โ€” same angle, same framing, real change you can see. Most progress photos drift: a little closer, a little higher, a slightly different angle โ€” and suddenly you can't tell what really changed. ProgressCam fixes that at capture time. A ghost of your starting photo sits right in the camera, so you can stand in exactly the same spot and shoot a frame that matches it. CAPTURE THAT LINES UP โ€ข Ghost overlay of your starting photo, right in the viewfinder โ€ข Zoom and manual fine-tuning when you want full control โ€ข Smart alignment that registers each new shot against your starting photo IMPORT THE PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE โ€ข Bring in older photos from your library and align them with the rest โ€ข Fix each photo's date right in the import grid โ€ข Reorder, choose your starting photo, and align the whole batch in one step COMPARE THE CHANGE โ€ข Side by side, slide to reveal, or tap to toggle between two moments SHARE IT BEAUTIFULLY โ€ข Six export formats: side-by-side, split, story, panoramic strip, grid collage, and slideshow โ€ข Add date, day-count, or label overlays โ€ข Save or share to anywhere KEEP THE HABIT โ€ข A reminder for each project: daily, weekly, on the weekdays you choose, every few days, or monthly โ€ข See all your reminders in one place in Settings โ†’ Capture Reminders YOUR PHOTOS, ALWAYS YOURS โ€ข "Save a copy of my photos" in Settings, or "Save a copy of this project" from a project's menu โ€ข Every photo, its aligned version and its details in one ZIP file that opens on any computer, without the app โ€ข It's free and doesn't use your exports FACE ID PROTECTION โ€ข Require Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode to open a project โ€ข Or protect the whole app APPLE HEALTH (OPTIONAL) โ€ข Turn on "Show weight alongside my photos" in Settings to see your weight from Apple Health in Progress Recap, on the same timeline as your photos โ€ข Read-only: ProgressCam never writes to Apple Health โ€ข Your weight stays on your iPhone and is never shared or exported YOUR PROJECTS, BACKED UP โ€ข Organize photos into projects, one per thing you're tracking โ€ข Sign in with Apple or Google, or use the app without an account โ€ข Optional cloud backup keeps your projects safe and synced across your devices โ€ข Delete your account and your cloud backup any time, right in Settings PROGRESSCAM PRO โ€ข Pro unlocks more projects and photos, multiple sides per project, unlimited exports, HD export with no watermark, and expanded cloud backup โ€ข Choose ProgressCam Pro Yearly, ProgressCam Pro Monthly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase โ€ข Yearly starts with a 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers โ€ข If a subscription ends, you keep everything you made Start free and upgrade any time.
