Progress photo app

A progress photo app that does the hard part.

Taking a photo is easy. Taking one that matches last month’s isn’t. ProgressLens lines you up, keeps your photos private, and shows you the difference.

In short

The best progress photo app helps you take photos that match, not just store them. ProgressLens shows your previous photo faintly on the camera, keeps front, side and back timelines, tracks weight and body measurements, and compares any two days, privately on iPhone or Android with no account and no subscription.

What to look for

Four things that make progress photos work.

  • Matching photos. A guide from your last photo, so the angle never changes.
  • Separate poses. Front, side and back each on their own timeline.
  • Numbers beside them. Weight and waist on the same day.
  • Privacy. Not in your gallery, not in the cloud.

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.
