GhostFrame

Read full description

GhostFrame turns one photo a day into a timelapse that actually holds still. Pick a subject — your face, a bump, a baby, a plant, a room mid-renovation — and the camera fades yesterday's shot over the live view. New in 2.0, GhostFrame reads the ghost and the live picture on your iPhone and guides you in: when you're lined up it locks with a tap you can feel, and Auto can take the photo for you. WHAT'S NEW IN 2.0 • Live ghost guide: face tracking for selfie-style projects, scene alignment for everything else, a match score, one plain hint, and a haptic lock. • Auto-shoot and a level line. • Apple Watch: today's frames and streaks, Then vs Now on the Digital Crown, and a remote shutter for the iPhone camera. • Home Screen widget: your streak and latest frame for the project that still needs today's photo — tap to shoot. • Then vs Now: wipe, fade, flicker or side by side between any two frames, plus a share card. • Memory Lane: the photo from a month, 100 days or a year ago today. • Insights: streaks, a calendar of every day you showed up, milestones, your usual shooting time, your ghost-match score. • Export studio: a live storyboard of your video, auto-align steadies every frame; opening title and closing stats; 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 4K and GIF. • A living home where every project plays its own timelapse, a new icon and a new animated tour. ALSO INCLUDED Templates for Face, Bump (week cards), Baby (month cards), Fitness (front/side/back), Plant, Renovation and Anything; import photos you already have on their real dates; ghost from the previous, first or a pinned frame; outline mode; 0.5Ɨ/1Ɨ/2Ɨ lenses; reminders with quiet days that open straight into the camera; zip backups; captions for any video, transcribed on device. PRIVACY Photos and projects stay on your device; alignment runs on device. No account. Anonymous usage stats (never photos or names) can be turned off in Settings. Every feature is included.
