Pregnancy, week by week
One side-on bump photo a week, lined up with last week's, and a video stamped "Week N". Turn on the reminder and it arrives every Monday. Bump photo guide
The progress camera · iPhone & iPad
See your progress. One aligned photo at a time.
Solo.Shots is a free progress camera for iPhone and iPad. A see-through ghost of an earlier shot and a tilt-matching level help you line up every photo (same frame, same angle), reminders keep your rhythm, and the series becomes a timelapse, even from photos already in your library.

Made for slow changes
What do you want to see change?
Tell Solo.Shots what you're tracking when you first open it, and it suggests a matching project: the right rhythm and a photo goal. Switch on a reminder at your time, change anything, or start from scratch.
Baby's first year
Fifty-two weekly photos become one short film. Missed the early months? Make a separate face-aligned timelapse of your child from photos you already took. Bump to baby
Fitness journey
Proof of the change the mirror hides: same spot, same pose, same angle, with a body-outline guide.
Beard & hair growth
An honest side-by-side over weeks, with the date on every frame. Made for month-long beard challenges, too. Movember plan
Plants & projects
Watch a seedling, a garden or a renovation come together, without a tripod rig.
A photo a day
A record of you, one frame a day. A Lock Screen widget tells you when today's photo is still due.
Pets growing up
Kitten to cat, puppy to dog: "My Pet" finds your cat or dog in photos you already have and lines them up. How it works
Anything else
Art practice, a room makeover, a skincare routine: name it, choose daily, weekly or monthly, and set a goal of 10 to 100 photos.
How it works
How does Solo.Shots work?
You take the photo; Solo.Shots helps you line it up and can remind you when the next one is due. Three steps:
-
Step 01
Pick what you're tracking
Choose a goal or make your own project. Set the rhythm (daily, weekly or monthly), a photo goal and the time you want a reminder.
-
Step 02
Line up the shot
Turn on the Photo Ghost to see a previous photo through the viewfinder, add a shape guide, and match the level. Shooting yourself? Use the 3, 5 or 10-second timer.
-
Step 03
Watch it come together
Every photo lands in a grid and a calendar. When you're ready, make a timelapse in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, a poster, or a DNA Card to share.
New in 3.0 · Timelapse from your photos
Can I make a timelapse from photos I already have?
Yes. Choose Me, Someone Else or My Pet, and Solo.Shots finds them across your photo library, keeps one clear, front-facing photo for each day, week or month, and lines every frame up on the eyes.
- Me starts from your Selfies album. Someone Else follows a child, partner or friend. My Pet finds a cat or dog.
- It walks back through time and keeps learning the face as it goes, so it can follow a child from today back to babyhood.
- Screenshots are skipped, and you can tap any photo to leave it out.
- Private: the analysis runs on your iPhone with Apple's Vision framework. Nothing is uploaded.
Building and previewing is free (with a watermark). Saving the result as a project needs Premium. How it works, step by step
Same frame · Same angle
How do I keep every progress photo lined up?
Keep the same frame and the same angle. Solo.Shots shows a see-through Photo Ghost of a reference photo in the viewfinder, and a level that buzzes when your phone's tilt matches it.
- Ghost your latest photo, your first (so the framing can't slowly drift over months), any photo in the project, or one from your library.
- Shape guides: circle, square, dot, face or body outline. Move, resize, set the opacity and save them per project.
- A level that remembers the tilt of the reference photo, not just "flat".
- Pro controls: 0.5×, 1× and 2× lenses where available, front or back camera, flash, tap to focus, drag for exposure, AE/AF lock, grid and self-timer.
Streaks · Reminders · Widgets
How does Solo.Shots help me stay consistent?
It follows your rhythm. Each project is daily, weekly or monthly, the streak counts in that unit, and a reminder arrives at the time you pick.
- Reminders every day, every Monday for weekly projects, or on the 1st for monthly ones.
- Home tells you which streak needs attention, with a one-tap Capture button.
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your streak and whether today's photo is due. Tap one to open that project's camera.
- Milestones at 25, 50, 75 and 100 photos: Warming Up, Halfway Hero, Almost There and Consistency Master.
- Hide a photo to keep it out of the streak and the video, or move it to another project.
Video · Poster · DNA Card
What can I make from my progress photos?
Three things from one habit: a timelapse video, a print-ready poster and a shareable stats card.
- Timelapse video in 1080p or 4K; 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, 1:1 or 16:9; 0.1 to 1 second per frame; an optional Date, Day N or Week N stamp. Save it to Photos or share it.
- Posters in three styles: Mosaic, Colors (each tile becomes that photo's main colour) or Timeline (photos as vertical slices). Sized 1:1 for Instagram, 4:5 for 8×10 prints or 2:3 for 12×18 prints.
- DNA Card: your streak, photo count, days and a 30-day consistency chart, with Day 1 next to your latest photo.
Free exports carry a small SOLO.SHOTS watermark; with Premium you can remove it.
Privacy
Is Solo.Shots private?
Private by design: no account, no developer server and no analytics SDK. Your photos are stored on your device (and, with Premium backup, in your own private iCloud). Two honest caveats below.
No account, no sign-up
Open the app and start. There's nothing to register, and no developer server receives your photos or projects.
Photos stored on your device
Photos and project details are stored in the app on your iPhone or iPad. Saving to your Camera Roll is optional.
On-device analysis
"Timelapse from your photos" uses Apple's Vision framework on your iPhone. Face data isn't saved or uploaded.
Premium: your private iCloud
With Premium, iCloud Backup & Sync (on by default, can be switched off) copies projects and photos to your own private iCloud, so they come back on a new device.
Free version: Google AdMob ads
The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. If you allow tracking when asked, ads can use your device's advertising identifier; if you don't, they can't. Because of these ads, the App Store privacy label lists data used to track you (location, identifiers, usage data).
Details: Solo.Shots Privacy Policy (updated 15 October 2026).
Free vs Premium

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short, straight answers. Something missing? Visit Support or email solostaseraofficial@gmail.com.
Is Solo.Shots free?
Yes. Solo.Shots is free to download and use, with ads. Your first project is free, up to 3 more unlock after a short ad each, and free projects hold up to 100 photos.
Premium is an optional monthly subscription (see the current price on the App Store). It removes ads, lets you remove watermarks and adds unlimited projects and photos, 4K every time and iCloud backup.
How often should I take progress photos?
Match the speed of the change: daily for fast changes (a beard, seedlings, a 30-day challenge), weekly for bodies and pregnancy, monthly for children and slow projects. Pick one rhythm and keep it.
In Solo.Shots each project is daily, weekly or monthly, and the streak and reminders follow that rhythm.
How do I take progress photos that line up?
Keep the distance, height, tilt and light the same every time. Solo.Shots helps with the first three: the Photo Ghost shows your latest or first photo through the viewfinder, a shape guide marks where the subject goes, and the level buzzes when your phone's tilt matches the reference photo.
For similar light, shoot at the same time of day in the same spot.
Can I make a timelapse from photos I already have?
Yes. In Solo.Shots 3.0, choose Me, Someone Else or My Pet. The app finds them across your photo library, keeps one clear, front-facing photo per day, week or month, and lines every frame up on the eyes, all on your iPhone.
Previewing is free with a watermark; saving the timelapse as a project needs Premium.
Does it work for pets?
Yes, for cats and dogs. My Pet finds your cat or dog in photos you already have and lines them up into a timelapse.
For new photos, any project works: shoot at your pet's eye level and use the Photo Ghost to keep the framing.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
Not to the developer: Solo.Shots has no account and no server of its own. Photos stay on your device. If you subscribe to Premium and keep iCloud Backup on, projects and photos are also saved to your own private iCloud.
Library analysis runs on your iPhone with Apple's Vision framework, and nothing is uploaded. The free version shows Google AdMob ads, which can use your advertising identifier only if you allow tracking.
How do weekly and monthly projects work?
Each project has a rhythm: daily, weekly or monthly. The streak counts days, weeks or months; reminders arrive at your chosen time every day, every Monday, or on the 1st of the month; and milestones celebrate 25, 50, 75 and 100 photos.
Can I export in 4K or for Instagram Reels?
Yes. Timelapses export in 1080p or 4K, in 9:16 (Reels, TikTok, Shorts), 1:1 or 16:9, at 0.1 to 1 second per frame, with an optional Date, Day N or Week N stamp.
Free exports are 1080p after a short ad, and you can try 4K once (a short ad unlocks it, and the export shows one too); Premium exports 4K every time with no ads, and you can switch the watermark off.
Does Solo.Shots work on iPad, and which iOS version do I need?
Yes, it works on iPad. Solo.Shots is one universal app for iPhone and iPad and needs iOS 17.6 or later on iPhone, or iPadOS 17.6 or later on iPad.
How do I restore or cancel Premium?
To restore, open Settings (the gear on the Home screen) → Subscription → Restore Purchases while signed in with the same Apple Account.
To cancel, go to your Apple Account subscriptions (iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Premium stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
Which languages is Solo.Shots available in?
Nine: English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Arabic. The app follows your device language, and you can switch languages in Settings.
Is Solo.Shots related to SOLOSHOT cameras?
No. Solo.Shots is an iPhone and iPad app by independent developer Gül Eda Aydemir. It isn't related to SOLOSHOT, the robotic camera company.
