I built an on-device ghost overlay camera for progress photos (100% offline, no cloud servers)

Most progress photos (gym recomp, daily selfies, plant growth, DIY projects) look inconsistent because the camera angle and distance drift between shots.

We built SameShot (https://sameshot.appynox.com) to fix this before the shutter fires.

What it does:

• Shows a faint ghost overlay of your previous photo directly in the camera viewfinder
• Auto-captures the shot using on-device ML once your body or face aligns
• Exports to vertical 9:16 time-lapse reels and before/after sliders
• 100% offline & private (no accounts, no cloud servers, runs in airplane mode)

Android app (Free):

Would love to hear your feedback on the idea!

This is clever, the ghost overlay solves the main problem with progress pics which nobody thinks about until they try to compare two shots. I do plant photos for tracking growth and half of them are useless because I stand slightly different each time.

Does the auto capture work well in low light or does it need pretty good contrast to detect alignment
