What's New in DarkRoom Chemist
1.3
July 14, 2026
What's New in Version 1.3 — The Darkroom Update The biggest update yet, built around one idea: you shouldn't have to look at (or touch) your phone while your film is in the tank. • Live Activities — Follow your timer from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: current step, live countdown, and progress, no unlocking with wet hands required. • Step alerts anywhere — Get notified the moment a step finishes, even when your phone is locked or you're in another app. • Sound & voice cues — Hear a tone or a spoken announcement ("Agitate", "Next step: Blix") for agitation and step changes. Perfect for total darkness. • Darkroom Mode — One tap washes the entire app in dim safelight red for printing sessions. • Temperature compensation — Chemistry running warm or cold? Enter the actual temperature and your developer times adjust automatically to match. • Run history — Every completed development session is logged automatically — process, time, temperature — with room for your own notes. • Chemistry tracking — Track each mixed batch of chemistry and how many rolls it has left, with a warning when it's exhausted. Log a roll right from the finish screen. • A more accurate timer — Rebuilt to stay exact through screen locks and interruptions, with target temperatures shown during the run. Plus: confirmation before deleting gallery photos, support for steps over an hour, and other fixes.
