About

Nightlog is a focused planning and logging companion for landscape astrophotographers. Plan a shoot, dial in your settings with built-in calculators, and keep a private record of every session! PLAN • Organize work as Trips, Shoots, and Locations • Save dark-sky spots with notes, Bortle class, elevation, and access details that stick around across visits • See every saved location on a dark-styled map • One-tap directions via Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze CALCULATE • Field of view for any sensor and focal length • Star-trail length • Milky Way exposure recommender (aperture, shutter, ISO) tuned to a target sky brightness • Tracker check: verify your shutter/ISO/aperture against the Milky Way target • New Timelapse calculator: solve between frames, interval, and shooting time, and see your final clip length. LOG • Attach planning screenshots and result captures to each shoot • EXIF, gear, and calculator snapshots saved alongside your images • Mark your keepers GEAR-AWARE • Add your cameras and lenses once; calculators default to your sensor size and pixel width • Variable-aperture zooms handled correctly Built for the field: a dark, dark-adaptation-friendly interface so you can use it at night without ruining your night vision.

What's New in Nightlog

1.4

October 29, 2026

Nightlog now runs full-screen on iPhone Duo. Closed, everything sits clear of the side status bar. Open, the app keeps a comfortable phone width instead of stretching across the whole screen. Fixed • Photos you add keep their exposure, aperture, ISO and focal length. Before, they were dropped on import. • Deleting a shoot, trip or location from its edit screen takes you back to the list, not to a page for the thing you just deleted. • Deleting a location says how many shoots go to Trash with it, and Undo or Restore brings them all back. • A trip's dates and shoot count update as soon as you date, delete or restore one of its shoots. • Messages at the bottom of the screen no longer block taps on the tab bar. • Exporting a trip no longer includes shoots you've deleted. • Profile stays readable at the largest text sizes. Also • A new lens needs its widest aperture, so the Exposure tool can use it. Lenses saved earlier use f/2.8 and show a reminder to set the real value. • Nightlog now requires iOS 16.4 or later. On an older iPhone, the version you have keeps working.
