## What is Analog Buddy?

The all-in-one analog photography companion for film lovers.

Analog Buddy turns your iPhone into a complete analog photography toolkit - track film rolls, meter light, scan negatives, shoot with real-time film simulations, and create authentic vintage photos in one place.

Built for photographers who love the analog process, not just filters.

[ FILM LOG & FRAME TRACKER ]

Track every frame you shoot.

Create film rolls with custom frame counts, save camera and lens profiles, log ISO/ASA values, add notes, GPS locations, reference photos, push/pull plans, expired film details and more.

Designed for real film photography workflows.

[ LIGHT METER ]

A real-time light meter powered by your iPhone camera sensor.

Read EV values instantly, get shutter speed and aperture recommendations for any ISO, and identify lighting conditions including Sunny, Cloudy, Shade, Indoor and Low Light.

Available directly from your Home Screen widget.

[ FILM SCANNER ]

Scan film negatives directly with your iPhone.

Convert black and white negatives in seconds or unlock C-41 color and E-6 slide scanning with Pro. Adjust exposure with the EV slider and zoom for precise scanning.

[ LIVE FILM CAMERA ]

Shoot through real-time analog film simulations inspired by classic film stocks.

From Kodachrome warmth to early digital aesthetics, every frame is processed live before you press the shutter.

Tap to focus, pinch to zoom, and save directly to your Camera Roll.

[ PHOTO SIMULATION ]

Transform your photos with 20+ analog-inspired presets including Portra, Tri-X, Gold and Velvia styles.

Adjust exposure, highlights, shadows, fade and grain. Save your own custom presets with Pro.

[ INSTANT CAMERA ]

Create Polaroid-style photos that develop directly on screen.

Choose from multiple frame styles, apply Story templates and share instantly to Instagram or anywhere else.

[ DARKROOM TOOLS ]

Built-in darkroom timer for developing film at home.

Includes ready-to-use recipes like D-76, HC-110 and Rodinal 1:50 with audible step-by-step timing. Save custom recipes with adjustable temperatures and timings using Pro.
