Muscle grows too slowly to see in the mirror — a timelapse makes it obvious. You're hitting the gym and eating right, yet the mirror shows the same body every morning. ShapeLapse turns the progress pics you've been taking into one timelapse video where your gains are easy to see — size added on a bulk, definition showing up on a cut. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your photos (importing the ones you've already taken works too) 2. ShapeLapse detects your shoulders and hips and auto-aligns every photo 3. Preview your timelapse — done Even when your pose, distance, or framing varies from shot to shot, ShapeLapse lines your body up automatically, so the video plays back smooth and steady. GHOST CAMERA — SAME FRAMING, EVERY TIME The built-in camera overlays your previous photo as a faint ghost, so you just match your stance. A self-timer (3/5/10 seconds) makes gym-mirror or tripod shots easy. FEATURES - Automatic body alignment based on shoulders and hips - Tap to include or exclude photos; mark the body manually when needed - Adjustable playback speed (0.1–2 seconds per frame) - Optional date stamp on each frame - 3 built-in training-mix music tracks — or go silent and add your own sound on social media - Save to your photo library and share anywhere PRICING — NO SUBSCRIPTION Creating and previewing videos is free, with no limits. If you like what you see, a single one-time purchase unlocks saving and sharing — forever. No subscription. No ads. PRIVACY — EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Body photos are personal. All photo analysis and video creation happen entirely on your device. Your photos and videos are never uploaded anywhere, and no account is required. Months of work, one video. See your gains.

Verdict
FormLapse and ShapeLapse are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
