Your Camera Roll Is Not a Lab Notebook: Building a Private Photo Record

Your camera roll is a poor substitute for a laboratory notebook. It contains duplicated photos, receipts, and screenshots, making it difficult to locate specific images. We created HagePasha to provide a dedicated space for personal photos, such as tracking hairline changes over time. The app's purpose is straightforward: maintain a consistent record of the same category of photos, without analysis or interpretation.

It does not claim to diagnose, assess, or evaluate health or appearance. Instead, HagePasha facilitates the practical aspect of observation, leaving the interpretation to the user and, if applicable, a qualified professional. The app's interface allows users to set framing guides for routine photos. When taking a new photo, the previous capture appears as a semi-transparent overlay for alignment.

Users can compare any two saved photos side by side with synchronized panning and zooming. Reminders can be set for 30, 60, or 90 days, or at a custom interval. HagePasha stores photos exclusively in its private space on the device, keeping them separate from the system photo library and from Amaclass Inc. servers. No account or email is necessary to initiate a record, emphasizing the app's commitment to privacy.

The app's promise is limited to storing photos, not analysis or interpretation. When switching to a new phone, HagePasha exports the record as a password-protected file, which can be imported onto the new device via a QR code. This process does not involve transferring photos through Amaclass Inc. servers, reinforcing the app's commitment to clear boundaries.

HagePasha is free to download, with optional one-time Premium purchases to remove ads. The app's development team welcomes feedback on three aspects: repeatable camera framing, honest language about local data boundaries, and edge cases for direct device transfer. HagePasha is available on both iOS and Android platforms, and can be accessed at hagepasha.com.
