The progress photo app
See the change
the scale can’t show you.
Take a quick photo each week. ProgressLens lines it up with your last one, so a few months from now you’ll see exactly how far you’ve come. Private, simple, and yours.

In short
ProgressLens is a progress photo app for iPhone and Android. It helps you take front, side and back photos that line up with your last ones, using a faint copy of your previous photo on the camera, and keeps them next to your weight and body measurements. You can compare any two days side by side. Photos stay private on your phone, there’s no account, and it’s free to try with a one-time upgrade instead of a subscription.
Why it works
Week to week, you can’t see it.
Month to month, you can’t miss it.
Change is slow, so the mirror stops noticing. A photo from the same spot, a few months apart, shows you the truth. And on the days you want to quit, that’s the photo that keeps you going.

How it works
Thirty seconds a week.
No setup, no sign-up, no learning curve. Open the app, take your photo, done.
Snap your photo
Front, side and back. Your last photo shows faintly on the screen, so you stand in the same spot every time.
Add a number or two
Weight and waist take ten seconds. Skip them if you’d rather not. The photos do the talking.
See the difference
Pick any two days and flip between them. That’s the moment it clicks.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
Simple on the surface.
Thoughtful underneath.
Your last photo, as a guide
A see-through copy of last week’s photo sits on the camera. Line yourself up with it and every photo matches, like it was taken on a tripod.
Only you can see them
Your photos stay on your phone. They’re not in your gallery, not in the cloud, and there’s no account to create.
Before & after in one tap
Pick two days. Flip between them. Share it if you’re proud.
Front, side and back
Each angle gets its own timeline, so you always compare like with like.
A gentle nudge
Pick your day. We’ll remind you, and tell you which pose to match.
Numbers that make sense
Weight, waist, chest, arms, thighs and shoulders, with simple charts that show which way you’re heading.
Your whole journey, by day
Every check-in lands on a calendar with its photos and numbers, so you can scroll back to day one any time.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What’s the best app for progress photos?
Choose one made for photos you take again and again. It should help you line each one up with the last, keep front, side and back apart, put your weight next to your photos and keep everything private. ProgressLens does all of that on iPhone and Android, without an account or a subscription. We also compare other progress photo apps honestly.
Is ProgressLens free?
Yes, it’s free to download and try, with every feature. Your first 10 check-ins are free. If it becomes part of your routine, ProgressLens Pro unlocks unlimited check-ins with one payment. It isn’t a subscription. See pricing.
Can anyone else see my photos?
No. Your photos stay inside the app on your phone. They don’t go to your photo gallery, your cloud or our servers, and there’s no account. Nobody sees them unless you share one yourself.
I feel self-conscious taking these. Is that normal?
Completely. Most people do at first. That’s exactly why ProgressLens is private: no feed, no profile, just you. You can crop at the chin, and nobody ever has to see your “before” unless you want them to.
How often should I take progress photos?
Once a week is perfect. Same day, same time, same spot. Then compare photos a month or more apart, which is when change really shows. Read how often to take progress photos.
How does it help my photos match?
When you take a new photo, your last one appears faintly on the camera like a ghost. Line yourself up with it and you’ll be the same distance and angle every time, so you see real change instead of a different camera angle. See how it works.
Does it work on my phone?
ProgressLens works on iPhone and iPad (iOS 17 or later) and Android phones (Android 7.0 or later). It’s available in English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
What happens when I get a new phone?
Make a backup in Settings and open it on your new phone. Your photos and measurements come with you, even from iPhone to Android.
