ProgressCam

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