ThenAgain
Your past. Your present. One photo.
Recreate any old photo from the same spot and share the change in seconds. ThenAgain lays your old photo over the live camera like a ghost, so you can match the angle exactly — then turns then and now into a 5-second reveal video or a side-by-side still. Entirely on your device.
Pick. Recreate. Share.
Choose an old photo, line it up with the ghost overlay, take the new one — and watch the years go by.





Then & now, done properly.
Kids growing up, couples revisiting a favourite photo, pets, places and renovations — one simple flow for all of them.
Ghost overlay camera
Your old photo sits see-through over the live camera. Adjust the opacity and match the angle, the horizon and the people before you take the shot.
Compare slider
Drag the divider between then and now, and fine-tune the crop of either photo until the two line up.
5-second reveal video
Export a 9:16 video with a Wipe Reveal or Crossfade, or a 4:5 side-by-side still — with optional THEN / NOW labels.
Ready to share
Send it straight to Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp or Messages through the share sheet, or save it to your library.
My Creations
Every project is kept in the app, so you can come back, re-export in another style or take the new photo later.
iPhone Duo, iPad & two languages
Native on iPhone and iPad, and supports the foldable iPhone Duo. In English and German, with VoiceOver labels and works fully offline.
Your photos never leave your iPhone.
ThenAgain has no account, no servers, no analytics and no ads. Picking the old photo uses the system picker, so the app only sees the one photo you choose — and files leave your device only when you share or save them yourself.
