About

In one line: Then & Now is a progress photo app for iPhone: line up every photo with Ghost mode, then see the change with a slider, side by side or as a timelapse.

Then & Now helps people see change that's too slow to notice day to day. Each album, for a body, a pet, a plant, a renovation or anything else, keeps its photos in order with measurements alongside. Ghost mode lays an earlier photo over the camera so every shot lines up, and the voice timer takes it hands-free. The slider, 2 × 1 and timelapse views show the difference, Trends charts the numbers (with Apple Health if you like), and exports are ready to share with dates, day counts and blur. There's no account, no ads and no analytics, and any album can lock with Face ID.
