Filmlog Analog

Load a film, count the frames, note the shot, send it to the lab. Filmlog Analog remembers all of it — and meters the light. Offline, no account, no server.

Filmlog Analog is a notebook for analogue photography. It answers the questions that come up between loading a film and getting the scans back: which film is in that camera, which frame are you on, and where did that roll go?

CAMERAS Add your cameras, load a film, count the frames. Each camera shows what is loaded and how far along you are. Subject notes with time and place, and a film strip of the shots you took — photographed in the app or picked from your album.

LIGHT METER Reads the camera's real exposure values: ISO, time and aperture. Tap the spot you want to measure, then tap an aperture to pin that combination. It tells you when you need a tripod, and says nothing at all when there is too little light for a useful reading.

LAB AND ARCHIVE Every roll you take out lands in the archive: which camera, what was on it, when and where it was developed, what it cost. Search by film, camera, lab or year. Export a single roll or a whole year as a PDF — with your notes and film strips.

SHELF What is left in the fridge, by format. Loading a film into a camera counts it down by itself.

NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER Filmlog Analog is designed as a data-minimising offline app. There is no user account, no registration and no server of our own. Everything you enter is stored solely on your device.

One exception, and only when you ask for it: tapping "Time & place" on a note sends the coordinates to OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) to turn them into a place name. Nothing else is transmitted.

YOUR BACKUP IS YOURS Because nothing lives on a server, nobody can restore your data for you. The app writes a backup file you keep — on your device, in iCloud, wherever you want it. Please do make one. If the phone is lost and there is no backup, the notes are gone.

The app works entirely offline.
