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/"

Your perfect shot, every time Set your shot exactly how you want it, hand your phone to anyone, and they just match a faded overlay of your frame. No directions to give, no awkward retakes, no more "well, that's what we got." HOW IT WORKS Line up your shot and tap the shutter, or choose photos you already have. Hand the phone over: one screen tells your photographer what to do, in their language. They line up the live view with your faded frame and tap the shutter. Take your phone back, compare the results side by side, and save the keepers. SHOOT WITH ANYONE, OR ON YOUR OWN Give the phone to a stranger or a friend, or set a self-timer and step into the frame yourself. Every frame works either way. RECORD VIDEO, NOT JUST PHOTOS Prop the phone up, line up the ghost, and record a clip in the exact spot. Great for vlogs, fitness progress or a cooking setup you film again and again. LINE IT UP PERFECTLY A live match meter tells whoever's holding the phone how close they are (colder, warmer, lined up) with a hint to move, tilt or step back. A bubble level and alignment grid help with framing too. SAVE A FRAME, REUSE IT FOREVER Every frame you save keeps its exact composition and camera settings, so you can step back into it: the same photo with friends every trip, or a progress picture a year apart. IT REMEMBERS WHERE YOU STOOD Save a frame and InFrame notes the spot, with a place name from Apple Maps. Come back any time, and it walks you the rest of the way back into the shot. LINE UP SEVERAL SHOTS IN ONE HANDOFF Queue up multiple frames and your photographer steps through them with Next, no separate handoffs needed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account to create or sign in to. Your photos stay on your phone; saved frames sync only to your own iCloud. InFrame only sees the photos you choose to use. FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER The handoff, capture and thank-you screens switch to any of ten languages with one tap. The rest of your phone stays in yours. InFrame is available for iPhone, on iOS 17 or later.
