Overlay Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
Recreate any photo, perfectly framed. MatchShot is the overlay camera built for series - baby growth, fitness transformations, beard journeys, skincare glow over time, plant growth, pregnancy weeks, travel returns, and any "same shot, but later" project you want to actually finish. Drop a reference photo onto your viewfinder. Yesterday's shot becomes a soft ghost on today's screen. Line up the eyes, the doorframe, the horizon. Tap the shutter. Today's photo is already aligned to yesterday's - no cropping, no AI guessing, no remembering where you stood. Other progress-photo apps align your shots AFTER the fact - they crop, re-warp, lose pixels, and still drift. MatchShot aligns BEFORE the fact. The series actually looks like a series. USE IT FOR • Pregnancy timeline - one photo a week, perfectly aligned. • Baby & kid growth - same chair, same teddy, every birthday. • Fitness transformations - same pose, same mirror, real change. • Beard, hair, and skin progress --track real change over weeks. • Plant and garden growth - daily shots into a smooth timelapse. • Same-place travel - then and now from the same step. • Landscape seasons - one viewpoint, four seasons. • Recipe carousels - every step from the same angle. WHAT'S INSIDE - OVERLAY CAMERA: Reference photo on the viewfinder. Adjustable opacity, flip, and lock. Composition guides for rule of thirds, golden ratio, and custom framing. - COLLECTIONS: Every series grouped automatically. Grid or timeline view with adaptive day/month grouping. - COMPARE: Before/after slider. Onion-skin overlay. Drag, scale, rotate to fine-tune. Save the aligned transform. - AI ALIGN: One tap. Face landmarks first, body pose next, image registration last. Pixel-accurate register without a slider. - EXPORT: Turn any Collection into a 10-second timelapse video, a looping GIF, or a before/after collage. - PRIVATE BY DESIGN: Every photo stays on your iPhone.

A NOTE FROM THE MAKER I built MatchShot because I have boxes of photos I'd love to recreate today, and every existing tool asked me to do the hard work - alignment, after the moment had passed. MatchShot puts that work where it belongs: on the viewfinder, before the shutter. Some frames are meant to have sequels. Download MatchShot today, drop in your first reference photo, and take the first shot of a series you'll actually finish.

Your photos already know where you have been. Stourk reads only the date and place stored with them and turns the whole collection into a journey: a stork carrying your memories across an illustrated atlas, city by city, year by year. WATCH THE JOURNEY Choose a year, or your whole life, and watch the places become a route. The map is a printed atlas, not a satellite view; the route is drawn as the shortest arc between the places your photos know. Scrub through it, jump to a moment, and see the photographs from that stop as you pass. THE POST Every city you stayed in writes to you. Its letter is addressed by hand, stamped with the city's own postage, and postmarked by the Stourk postal service. Tear one open and the city's own note comes out first, then the photographs from that city. THE PASSPORT Every country you entered is stamped into a passport: rubber ink, struck askew, dated. Turn the pages. Tilt your iPhone and the pages keep a surprise for you. THE CASE Journeys earn luggage labels. They stick to a suitcase you keep. KEEPSAKES Save a journey as a poster or a short film, and share it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Stourk has no account, no server and no analytics. It reads photo dates and locations on your iPhone, keeps what it builds there, and never uploads a photograph or a place. Your library is read-only to it. Clear the local data whenever you like; Stourk will not read your library again until you ask. The only network traffic is the map itself, vector tiles from OpenFreeMap with data from OpenStreetMap contributors, and, for a photo that lives only in iCloud, that photo from Apple. English and Turkish.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stourk at none against Overlay Camera's 3. Stourk also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Overlay Camera's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
