Fabulous!

Simple, awesome, and free. Genius. THANK YOU!!!

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.

Does exactly what is needed. Thank you!

The app is economical, efficient, to the point and simple to negotiate. Rarely does that happen. Definitely a go to when I am developing film.

Has everything you need

It’s a great app, you can customize the timers to fit every need. Saves me so much time while developing and you can save your configurations as Recipes. Love it!

Don’t use it!

Waist of time! Couldn’t save times!!

Exactly what I needed

Straightforward and useful

Reset in case of error

I like the app other than one thing. I accidentally stopped the process mid flow, and was unable to catch-up with the sequence. I then had to improvise with timings and agitation sequences.

I suggest adding the ability to go back and the restart the sequence at any one of the steps; and/or have a SKIP option to enable moving to the next stage of the sequence.

In the meantime for users of the app and in case of a twitchy trigger finger I suggest having a back up timer, I used my iPhone clock app that has a stopwatch function, with lap timer which I used for the agitation sequences.

Perfect

Was able to do exactly what I wanted. The customization was precisely what I was looking for. 10/10 would Develop! Again.

Outstanding!

Simple and easy to setup and use. A very well developed app that is truly a darkroom asset. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Thank you, Todd.

Great customisation options

I’ve used other film developing apps but this is my preferred choice because you can customise the steps to match your workflow.

Excellent app!

Thank you for this app, works brilliantly and is easily customisable. Can’t believe it’s free, works like the box says.

Does what it says Awesome!

So many apps make simple stuff complicated. Not this one! Perfect for film development timing. I realized midway through my first use of it that wet rubber gloves we’re gonna be a problem to tap “next” but guess what? The target is the whole screen instead of some tiny button so elbows are totally sufficient. I didn’t try the voice prompting yet but that sounds like a good option if you don’t feel silly talking to your phone in the darkroom.

Very easy and intuitive to add a recipe by copying one of the templates.

I’d pay money for it if it wasn’t free! ;)

Simple, clean, effective

Been using this for a couple of months. Such a nice improvement over my old school GraLab timer and notebook. Easy to enter favorite recipes for quick access. All the info needed and nothing else. Hard to do simple well, this is brilliant.

I think this is going to be super useful!

Just signed up for darkroom studio time and excited to utilize this app - only thing I could ask is that the app fills the entire screen of my phone?

Thanks!

No chime no alarm

Yes they are turned on.
Useless for film without sound.

Very useful

I use it every my development. Best of best!

Great

If you develop your own film then you have to try this app. It covers all that I need for B&W and colour developing. I have set up multiple versions of some film and developer combinations to allow for pushing or pulling, contrast control etc, I just select the relevant recipe for the task in hand, it’s great. I really like the audible alerts you can set for agitation, I have a tendency to drift off during the process but the alert means I can look away from the timer and still agitate at the appropriate times, so helpful, thanks.

무료로 이런 프로그램을 쓸수 있다는 건 축복

4년째 대박 잘 쓰고 있습니다. 개발자님들 감사합니다.

Perfect for the job

What an ingenious app. Simple, does what you want it to do, clearly designed by someone who knows film development and software design. Love it. Thank you!
