GhostFrame turns one photo a day into a film of your life. Pick a subject β€” your face, a bump, a baby, a plant, a room mid-renovation β€” and the camera fades a previous shot over the live view so today's frame lines up in seconds. Come back every day and GhostFrame stacks the frames into a smooth timelapse. No account, no subscription, nothing uploaded. WHAT'S NEW IN 1.3 β€’ Import the photos you already have. Every frame lands on its real capture date, oldest first; duplicates are skipped. β€’ Templates: Face, Bump (with week cards from your due date), Baby (month cards), Fitness (front, side and back poses), Plant, Renovation (before & after slider) and Anything. β€’ Choose what the ghost shows: the previous shot, the very first one, or a frame you pin. Outline mode traces edges instead of fading the photo. β€’ Lens picker: 0.5Γ—, 1Γ— or 2Γ—, remembered per project so the framing never drifts. β€’ Export your way: 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9; 4K; crossfades; slow-start or slow-finish pacing; a date stamp with the year or a day counter; animated GIF; and an in-app preview before you render. β€’ Back up any project as a plain zip to Files or iCloud Drive and import it on a new phone with every date intact. β€’ Streaks and a "shot today" check on every project card. β€’ Reminders you control: quiet days, skip today, pause for a week. β€’ Milestone celebrations at 7, 30, 100 and 365 frames. β€’ A new animated tour, contextual tips, and full dates on every frame. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a project and pick a template. 2. Line up the ghost overlay and tap the shutter β€” or import photos you already took. 3. Export a timelapse (or GIF) whenever you like. It renders on your iPhone. CAPTIONS Add captions to any video β€” transcribed on your device or typed by hand β€” pick from six styles and burn them in. PRIVACY Photos, projects and captions stay on your device. GhostFrame never uploads what you shoot. Anonymous usage stats (which features are used, never your photos or names) can be switched off in Settings. Every feature is included. No subscription, no ads, no account.

"I don't have to explain the photo I want anymore." You know the photo you want. You found it β€” 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 β€” semi-transparent β€” 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 β€’ Save your shot ideas β€” import from your photo library, crop to frame β€’ Tap Match β€” your reference floats over the live camera β€’ The frame auto-matches your reference's aspect ratio (4:5, 1:1, 9:16 and more) β€’ One control: overlay opacity. No zoom, no fiddling, never technical β€’ Shoot, then drag to compare your photo against the reference β€’ Save straight to your photo library β€” Photo, Live Photo, or Video BUILT FOR β€’ Travel photos that look like the ones that inspired the trip β€’ Outfit shots and mirror pics with consistent framing β€’ Couples β€” finally, a fair trade for taking their photos β€’ Content creators keeping a series visually consistent PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No analytics. Your references and photos stay on your device β€” and sync privately through your own iCloud if you want them on all your devices.
