About

Lilip Overlay Camera

Features
Read full description

Overlay Camera helps you take a new photo while using a past photo as a translucent guide, so you can line up the same composition over time. It is useful for plant growth, a child growing up, body-shape changes, DIY projects, crafts, and other progress photos where position, distance, angle, and framing matter. How it works: 1. Pick a guide photo. 2. It appears as a translucent overlay on the camera screen. 3. Adjust guide opacity and camera zoom to line up the shot. 4. Take a new photo. 5. Compare the guide photo and captured photo with a drag-to-compare slider. You can shoot multiple photos with the same guide, name each captured photo, and organize records with guide names and tags. The guide photo is a preview-only overlay. It is never combined into the captured photo. Records are stored locally on this device inside the app. If needed, you can save only the selected captured photo to your Photos library. Nothing is uploaded to any external service. This first release focuses on the core overlay-and-compare workflow. There is no editing, no filters, no social sharing, and no login.
