You can finally see progress over time. You see yourself every day, so change hides. Journey Tracker lines up every new photo with your last one and shows you the difference with a slider. Use it for body, gym, and weight-loss progress, or for hair, beard, skin, nails, braces, tattoos, outfits, pregnancy, pets, plants, art projects, and home projects. Your photos are backed up to your account, so they are still there on a new phone or after a reinstall. Your first collection is free. Capture consistent photos • Keep each journey in its own collection • See your last photo in the camera, as an Outline or a Ghost, and line up the next shot • Add dates and notes • Reorder photos or move them between collections • Add photos offline; they upload when you're back online See the difference • Drag a slider across any two photos • Put two photos side by side and pinch to zoom them together • Scrub through your whole timeline • Export a time-lapse video of the change Share your progress • Turn any before and after into a share card • Choose from several card styles • Save the card or share it Stay motivated • Set reminders on your schedule, with your own message • Add the Home Screen widget: your day count, this week's photos, and the camera one tap away • Earn medals for milestones and streaks • See them all on the Achievements page Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

ProgressCam

See your progress clearly. ProgressCam lines up every new photo with your starting photo, so your before-and-after photos actually match — same angle, same framing, real change you can see. Most progress photos drift: a little closer, a little higher, a slightly different angle — 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 • Ghost overlay of your starting photo, right in the viewfinder • Zoom and manual fine-tuning when you want full control • Smart alignment that registers each new shot against your starting photo IMPORT THE PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE • Bring in older photos from your library and align them with the rest • Fix each photo's date right in the import grid • Reorder, choose your starting photo, and align the whole batch in one step COMPARE THE CHANGE • Side by side, slide to reveal, or tap to toggle between two moments SHARE IT BEAUTIFULLY • Six export formats: side-by-side, split, story, panoramic strip, grid collage, and slideshow • Add date, day-count, or label overlays • Save or share to anywhere KEEP THE HABIT • A reminder for each project: daily, weekly, on the weekdays you choose, every few days, or monthly • See all your reminders in one place in Settings → Capture Reminders YOUR PHOTOS, ALWAYS YOURS • "Save a copy of my photos" in Settings, or "Save a copy of this project" from a project's menu • Every photo, its aligned version and its details in one ZIP file that opens on any computer, without the app • It's free and doesn't use your exports FACE ID PROTECTION • Require Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode to open a project • Or protect the whole app APPLE HEALTH (OPTIONAL) • 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 • Read-only: ProgressCam never writes to Apple Health • Your weight stays on your iPhone and is never shared or exported YOUR PROJECTS, BACKED UP • Organize photos into projects, one per thing you're tracking • Sign in with Apple or Google, or use the app without an account • Optional cloud backup keeps your projects safe and synced across your devices • Delete your account and your cloud backup any time, right in Settings PROGRESSCAM PRO • Pro unlocks more projects and photos, multiple sides per project, unlimited exports, HD export with no watermark, and expanded cloud backup • Choose ProgressCam Pro Yearly, ProgressCam Pro Monthly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase • Yearly starts with a 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers • If a subscription ends, you keep everything you made Start free and upgrade any time. Whether you're tracking a home renovation, a garden or plant, a skincare or hair routine, a pet, a creative build, or anything else you're working on — ProgressCam makes the change impossible to miss. ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS ProgressCam Pro Yearly and ProgressCam Pro Monthly are auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends.
