Film Buddy: Analog Suite

Meter reflected light instantly, then keep rolls and frame notes organized with the optional Buddy Log.

Film Buddy is a field companion for analog photographers.

Open the app directly to a reflected-light meter with no account required. Choose aperture or shutter priority, set film ISO, use average or spot metering, apply exposure compensation, lock a reading, and calibrate the meter for your iPhone and workflow.

Buddy Log is an optional, account-backed notebook for tracking film rolls and individual frames. Record film stock, rated ISO, camera, lens, format, development notes, exposure settings, tags, and favorites. Entries write to the iPhone first so the log remains useful offline, then synchronize privately when an approved Film Buddy account is available.

Highlights:

• Account-free reflected-light meter
• Aperture- and shutter-priority recommendations
• Average and selectable spot metering
• Exposure compensation and per-device calibration
• Offline-first roll and frame notes
• Private synchronization for approved Buddy Log accounts
• Custom camera, lens, and film-stock entries
• Self-service account and Buddy Log deletion

Meter readings are reflected-light estimates. Camera hardware, scene reflectance, metering technique, calibration, film, development, and scanning can affect results. Test your workflow and bracket important exposures.
