Capture change without changing the frame. SameFrame helps you recreate the same photograph over time. Place an earlier image over the live camera as an adjustable guide, line up the angle, zoom and composition, then capture a consistent follow-up. Use SameFrame for home renovations, gardens, restoration projects, fitness progress, hair growth, pets, artwork, construction records and any change worth seeing clearly. CAPTURE THE SAME VIEW Use a previous photograph as a translucent guide over the live camera. Adjust its opacity, use the grid and level, and line up the scene before taking your next photograph. COMPARE WHAT CHANGED View two photographs with an interactive before-and-after slider, create a side-by-side comparison, or use additional Pro comparison modes to make subtle changes easier to see. BUILD A VISUAL TIMELINE Organise photographs into projects, choose any previous frame as your next reference and set an optional reminder for your next capture. SAMEFRAME FEATURES • Live ghost-image camera overlay • Adjustable guide opacity • Grid and device-level assistance • Front and rear camera support • Project-based photo timelines • Optional capture reminders • Interactive before-and-after slider • Side-by-side image export • Additional Pro guides and comparison modes • Face ID or passcode app lock • Full project and original-image export • iPhone and iPad support PRIVATE BY DESIGN SameFrame requires no account. Your projects and photographs are stored locally on your device. Images are not uploaded for analysis, and sharing or exporting happens only when you choose it. Some advanced features require a one-time SameFrame Pro purchase. We use standard terms: "Standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/"
