"I don't have to explain the photo I want anymore." You know the photo you want. You found it — a travel pose, an outfit shot, a couple picture. But when you hand your phone to a friend (or your partner), you get… something else. Posey fixes that. Save the photo you want to recreate, and Posey overlays it — semi-transparent — right on the live camera. Whoever's holding your phone just lines up the ghost image and taps the shutter. Same angle. Same crop. Same vibe. HOW IT WORKS • Save your shot ideas — import from your photo library, crop to frame • Tap Match — your reference floats over the live camera • The frame auto-matches your reference's aspect ratio (4:5, 1:1, 9:16 and more) • One control: overlay opacity. No zoom, no fiddling, never technical • Shoot, then drag to compare your photo against the reference • Save straight to your photo library — Photo, Live Photo, or Video BUILT FOR • Travel photos that look like the ones that inspired the trip • Outfit shots and mirror pics with consistent framing • Couples — finally, a fair trade for taking their photos • Content creators keeping a series visually consistent PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No analytics. Your references and photos stay on your device — and sync privately through your own iCloud if you want them on all your devices.
