About this app
What Filmroll does
Film has no EXIF. Filmroll is the offline darkroom notebook that remembers what your camera can't. Load a roll, then log every frame in one tap: aperture, shutter, lens, focal length, exposure compensation, plus location and notes. Pick from a bundled library of 250+ film stocks (Portra, HP5, Gold, Cinestill and more) with box ISO already filled in, and record your push/pull. When the roll comes back from the lab — or your own tank — use the built-in Develop Log to record chemistry, dilution, times, temperature and agitation for C-41, B&W and E-6, so you can repeat the keepers and fix the duds. Track cost-per-shot across film, dev and scanning, browse your whole archive by camera, stock or year, and export any roll as CSV or a contact-sheet-style PDF. No account. No subscription. No cloud. Your shooting notes live entirely on your iPhone, forever. Unlock unlimited rolls, the full develop log and export with a single one-time purchase. Stop scribbling in a pocket notebook and start learning from every frame.
Features
Built to be useful, not noisy.
Load a roll
Start a roll by picking film stock from a bundled library (box ISO auto-filled), camera body, shot-at ISO, frame count, and push/pull stops.
One-tap frame log
Tap + to log the current frame: aperture, shutter, lens, focal length, exposure compensation, location and a note; aperture/shutter use configurable full/half/third-stop steppers.
Develop log
Record the development recipe per roll: process (C-41/B&W/E-6), chemistry & dilution, time, temperature, agitation scheme, and a result note so keepers are repeatable.
Film-stock library
Browse a bundled JSON library of 250+ stocks (Kodak, Ilford, Fuji, Cinestill, etc.) with format, box ISO, type and characteristic notes; mark favorites.
Cost-per-shot tracker
Enter film, develop and scan cost per roll; the app computes cost-per-frame and rolls a lifetime spend total across the archive.
Archive & search
Browse every finished roll, filter by camera, stock, format or year, and reopen any frame's settings.
Why it exists
The problem
Film cameras record no metadata, so shooters lose track of which settings, stock and develop recipe produced each frame — today they juggle paper notebooks, spreadsheets, and subscription/cloud apps that get abandoned.
What's different
How Filmroll stands out
Filmroll is the only film logbook that ships a full offline develop-chemistry log (dilution/time/temp/agitation per process) and a 250+ film-stock + camera reference library, with zero account and a one-time unlock — where Frames/Pellica gate it behind subscriptions or cloud sync and Crown + Flint/Film Logbook lack de…
