GhostFrame vs Ephemeros

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; 0.5×/1×/2× 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. No subscription, no ads.

Ephemeros turns your phone into a time machine for places. Find a "spot" — a fixed viewpoint someone has photographed before — and take a new photo aligned to the original. A semi-transparent "ghost" of the baseline image floats over your camera, and live compass and tilt guides help you line up the exact same framing. Every aligned capture is added to the spot's series, building a timelapse that shows how a place changes across days, seasons, and years. WHY REPHOTOGRAPHY? A single photo is a moment. A series of aligned photos is a story — a coastline receding, a building rising, a glacier retreating, a garden growing, a neighbourhood transforming. Ephemeros makes it easy for anyone to contribute to that visual record, and turns the collected captures into an open dataset for researchers studying environmental and urban change. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Discover nearby spots on a fast, offline-capable map • Create new spots at viewpoints worth watching • Capture aligned repeat photos with a live ghost overlay and alignment guides • Watch each spot's timelapse build up over time • Organise spots into shareable lists and invite friends with a code • Scan a spot's QR code to jump straight to it • Earn points and build trust as your contributions are approved • Get notified when spots you follow gain new captures BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Full offline capture — shoot with no signal; uploads sync automatically when you're back online (Wi-Fi-only option supported) • In-app camera only, so every photo carries accurate location and orientation metadata — this is what makes the series scientifically useful • Lightweight vector maps that work without a data connection A SHARED, RESPECTFUL RECORD Contributed photos are reviewed before they join a public series. You control your privacy: spots can be kept private, your profile can be hidden, and you can export or delete your data at any time. Sign in with Apple, Google, or a classic email account. Ephemeros is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Start with a spot near you and add the next frame to its story.
