ProgressLens
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your progress photos should make change obvious, not leave you guessing. But when every photo is taken from a different angle, distance, or pose, it is hard to tell what actually changed. When progress photos are mixed into your gallery, forgotten between check-ins, or buried among thousands of images, looking back becomes frustrating. ProgressLens helps you build a clear visual record of your progress. Capture more consistent check-ins, keep photos and body measurements organized by date, and compare two moments side by side to see changes that are easy to miss day to day and help you stay motivated to continue. SEE THE CHANGE YOU ARE WORKING FOR Take Front, Side, Back, or custom-label progress photos and compare the same view over time. Choose two check-ins and see them side by side, so you can look beyond daily fluctuations and recognize real progress. Share a comparison when you are proud of how far you have come, with friends, on your story, or just for yourself. Whether you are losing weight, building muscle, getting back into fitness, or simply tracking your body over time, ProgressLens gives you a clearer way to see your journey. TAKE PHOTOS YOU CAN ACTUALLY COMPARE Random photos taken weeks apart with different angles and poses do not make progress easy to see. ProgressLens helps you create matching check-ins, so you can compare the same angle, framing, and pose over time. Use the camera alignment grid and previous-photo guide to line up each new check-in with the last one. Instead of guessing whether anything changed, build photos that make the change easier to see. Review the photo, date, time, label, and note before saving. Import existing photos when you need to add a past check-in to your record. STOP LOSING PROGRESS IN YOUR GALLERY Your progress photos should not disappear between screenshots, holidays, food photos, and random camera images. ProgressLens keeps check-ins and measurement sessions together in one visual timeline. Browse your history by date, open photos full-screen, and revisit the context behind each entry whenever you need it. TRACK THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE CHANGE Photos show the visual change. Measurements help explain it. Log bodyweight, waist, chest, shoulders, arms, thighs, and more. Save a full body measurement session or quickly record a single value, such as your daily weight. Review past measurements by date and see simple charts as your history grows. MAKE CHECK-INS FIT YOUR ROUTINE Use the default Front, Side, and Back labels, or create custom labels for the views that matter to you. Add a short note to remember context later, such as training changes, a new routine, a milestone, or anything else worth looking back on. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your photos and measurements stay on your device. No account is required. Create a local backup when you want an extra copy or need to move your history to a new phone. ProgressLens is a progress photo tracker, body measurement tracker, and visual record of the work you put in. Capture the check-ins. Keep the history. See the change.

Heke

Track. Progress. Lighter You. Heke is a private, on-device tracker for your weight journey. It is built for adults who want a quiet place to log weigh-ins, see real progress, and keep going β without an account, a calorie database, a social feed, or a Heke server. Whether you are working toward a goal or simply want to understand how your weight changes over time, Heke keeps the picture clear: where you started, where you are now, how far you have come, and what comes next. GET STARTED IN A MINUTE Choose kilograms or pounds, and centimetres or feet and inches. Add your height, starting weight, and goal. Optionally add your name and whether you are a woman or a man so BMI can use the matching adult range. Tap Start my journey. There is nothing to sign up for. SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE ON HOME Home shows your current weight beside your starting weight and goal, how much you have lost or gained, how much is left, your BMI, and the next milestone. Switch the view between this week, this month, and this year. A week strip lets you tap any day to log, edit, or review that weigh-in. LOG IN SECONDS Add todayβs weight, or backdate a weigh-in. That is enough. When you want more context, you can also record: β’ Body fat %, visceral fat, and water % from a smart scale β’ Waist, hips, chest, thigh, and arm measurements β’ A short note (exercise, diet, mood, or anything you noticed) β’ A progress photo from the camera or your photo library Photos and notes stay on this device. Open History anytime to review every weigh-in, edit one, or swipe to delete. WATCH THE TREND Progress plots the same log line as a chart. Filter by week, month, year, or your entire journey, and pinch to zoom. Latest measurements and progress photos sit with the graph so the numbers and the pictures stay together. FOLLOW MILESTONES, NOT JUST A NUMBER Journey turns your start and goal into a timeline: 5%, 10%, and 15% of the way, then the goal itself. You can see how many unique days you have logged, which milestones you have reached, and what is still ahead. Add journal notes along the way so the story is more than a scale reading. SHARE ONLY IF YOU WANT TO Create a journey report card on your device β start, current, goal, days on the journey, days logged, streak, and milestones. Share it through the system share sheet when you choose. You decide whether your name is included. If you never share, nothing leaves the phone. STAY ON TRACK, GENTLY Turn on an optional 7-day reminder and Heke will notify you only if a week goes by without a weigh-in. There is no daily nag and no streak punishment. Log when you want. KEEP A COPY, OR START OVER Export a JSON backup (profile, weigh-ins, notes, and photos) or a CSV of your weigh-ins to a folder you choose. Restore from JSON if you move devices. Clear all data anytime to remove your profile, logs, notes, and photos from this device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No subscription. No Heke cloud. Your data lives in a local database on the device. Heke does not upload your weigh-ins, photos, or notes to a Heke server. Network access is only used if you open Terms, Privacy, or Support in the browser, export or restore a file you choose, or share a report card yourself. WHAT HEKE IS β AND IS NOT Heke is a personal wellness tracker. It does not count calories, plan meals, connect to Apple Health, coach with AI, or diagnose or treat any condition. BMI and body-composition fields are reference numbers you enter; they are not medical advice. Your journey, your pace. Log when you want, follow your milestones, and keep moving toward your goal.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Heke at none against ProgressLens's 3. Heke also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
