Great tool

I use this frequently for storing and using development recipes for a wide range of film. I’ve been using it for a few years now with no issues.

This is what you are looking for.

This is the app you are looking for. It has exactly what you need to time your development, nothing more, nothing less. If j could request one feature, it would be the option to add 2% to a previously used setting. For re-use of chemicals. But I can do that manually for now.
