Is there a free app for progress photos and lift tracking?
Yes. Journey: Progress & Community is a free app for progress photos and lift tracking, with no in-app purchases. The photo journal, training log and optional community do not require a paid plan.
Can I compare before-and-after photos for free?
Yes. Use Journey’s free before-and-after photo comparison in your browser with no sign-up. Choose two photos, then use side-by-side or reveal view and adjust each photo’s zoom, position and rotation.
Can I save my before-and-after comparison without an account?
No. Comparing photos is free without signing up, but saving the comparison as a JPEG requires a free, active Journey account. Create an account or log in when you’re ready to save. No paid plan is required.
Are my photos uploaded when I use the free comparison tool?
No. Photos selected in the free comparison tool stay in your browser and aren’t uploaded to Journey. Adding photos to your account’s photo journal is a separate feature covered by the privacy policy.
Can I compare weight loss and weight gain photos?
Yes. The same free tool works for weight loss, weight gain and maintaining. Choose photos taken at a similar angle, in similar lighting and at the same camera distance to make the comparison easier to interpret.
Can I keep my progress photos private?
Yes. Your journal starts private, and you can keep it that way. You choose which check-ins to publish to signed-in members, and you can make your posts private again. Photos shared outside Journey cannot be recalled.
How do I compare progress photos alongside my bodyweight?
The free browser tool compares photos only; it does not calculate bodyweight or body measurements. In your Journey account’s photo journal, choose two check-in dates to see photos alongside your recorded bodyweight and the change in kg and %. Add a dated weigh-in in Progress if a date has no weight entry.
What can I track?
Save dated progress photos, compare two dates, log lifts with sets, reps and weight, and keep bodyweight and fitness benchmark records. Weight records support kilograms or pounds.
Can I use Journey on my iPhone and the web?
Yes. Journey works in a web browser and on iPhone. Use the iPhone link on this page for the current release. The web app needs JavaScript.
Do I have to share or join the leaderboards?
No. You can keep Journey as a personal journal. Publishing check-ins, member discovery and leaderboard participation are optional.
What is Growth?
Growth is recognition for eligible activity in Journey. It helps your Tree of Life develop as you check in and build consistency. It is not a health score, medical advice or a guarantee of fitness results.
Can I export my records or delete my account?
Yes. Settings includes record export and account deletion, alongside your privacy controls. Support & safety explains where to get help.
