## What is Grain Story?

Grain Story helps analog photographers keep every roll, shot, camera, lens, and scan organized in one quiet, practical workspace.

Log each frame as you shoot with exposure details, gear, film stock, notes, and location metadata. Track film rolls from fresh to loaded, finished, and developed, so you always know what is in each camera and what needs attention next.

After developing, merge scanned files back into your shot log to keep your negatives, digital scans, and shooting notes connected.

Features
• Log film shots with camera, lens, aperture, shutter speed, exposure mode, and notes
• Track cameras, lenses, and fixed-lens camera setups
• Manage film rolls through their full lifecycle
• See which roll is loaded in which camera
• Attach scan previews to developed-roll shots
• Keep scan files aligned with the correct frames
• Store location metadata for shots when available
• Built for film photographers who want a focused, no-clutter workflow

Whether you shoot casually, test new film stocks, archive projects, or maintain detailed exposure notes, Grain Story gives your analog process a reliable digital notebook.
