Ghost overlay camera

Your last photo, as a ghost.

A see-through copy of your previous photo sits on the camera. Match your outline, snap, and every photo is taken from the same spot. That’s how small changes become visible.

In short

A ghost overlay is a semi-transparent copy of your previous photo shown over the live camera. ProgressLens uses your last photo of the same pose (front, side, back or your own) so you can match your position, distance and angle before you take the new one. It never stretches or edits your photos afterwards.

Why it matters

Most “no progress” is really the camera moving.

Step a little closer and you look bigger. Hold the phone at your waist and your legs look longer. Tilt it and your posture changes. These shifts are bigger than a month of real progress.

Match the ghost and they disappear. What’s left is you.

  • Line up your feet, head and shoulders
  • A light grid keeps the phone level
  • Separate ghosts for front, side and back
  • Turn it off any time
