## What is Pellica?

Pellica is the all-in-one film photography app: a film log for your 35mm and 120 rolls, a light meter, a darkroom timer, a negative scanner, and a map of film labs worldwide. Built for analog photographers tired of juggling five apps.

NEW
- Negative scanner: your negatives as positives, live, kept with their exposures.
- Contact sheets: your rolls printed as at the lab, with your settings under each exposure.
- Viewfinder: see the scene as your film would render it, before you shoot.
- Spreadsheet export and import: bring your rolls over from another app.
- Half-frame rolls of up to 72 exposures, even without Pro.

FILM LOG & ROLL TRACKER
Track every roll through 5 statuses — from loaded to archived. 500+ built-in film stocks: Kodak Portra, Tri-X, Ektar; Ilford HP5+, Delta, FP4+; Fuji Pro, Velvia, Provia; CineStill, Rollei, Lomography, and more. Log aperture, shutter speed, location, and notes for every frame. Push/pull stops, expiration dates, batch actions, and projects for trips and themes.

LIGHT METER
Turn your iPhone into a light meter for film cameras. 4 reflected-light metering modes (matrix, center-weighted, spot, highlight), reciprocity correction for 160+ film stocks, Zone System display, ND filter compensation up to ND10000, and a long-exposure timer. One tap logs the reading to the frame you're about to shoot.

FILM DEVELOPMENT TIMER
Custom recipes with temperature, dilution, and 5 agitation patterns. Built-in cheatsheets for C-41, E-6, B&W, and ECN-2. Safelight (red light) mode for the darkroom.

SCAN IMPORT
Match scans to your logged exposures. Auto-match by frame order, drag & drop reordering, EXIF injection from your exposure data, and bulk export.

FILM LAB MAP
Find film development labs worldwide. Filter by services, read community reviews, save favorites, and suggest new labs.

FILM INVENTORY & GEAR
Know exactly what's in your fridge: quantities, costs, storage locations, and expiration dates, with alerts before your stock expires. Catalog cameras, lenses, filters, and accessories with prices, condition, and serial numbers.

AND MORE
- Depth of field & hyperfocal calculator
- Flash guide number calculator
- Home & Lock Screen widgets
- Achievements to unlock as you shoot
- Dark, light, and safelight modes
- Works offline, syncs when connected
- 11 languages

FREE & PRO
Start free with up to 2 active rolls. The light meter, lab map, gear collection, and widgets are free, and so are the C-41 timer and your custom recipes, without limit. No ads.

Go Pro for unlimited rolls, the timer for E-6, B&W, and ECN-2, and EXIF injection. Pro also lets you keep your negative scans, share your contact sheets as images or print-ready PDFs, and use every film in the viewfinder.

Your film deserves more than a forgotten notebook.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I need for shooting Analog Film in a modern world

*2026-10-21*

Pellica makes it easy to keep track of camera settings, locations for photographs, and add the data back to photographs once they are in digital form.  Pellica also provides a way to track & sort your film inventory before rolls expire, keep track of photographic gear, a light meter, nearby photo labs, and developing recipes.  You can also track costs of various items.

In the 5 months I have been using Pellica I have seen Imad make changes that make sense & improve the app’s intuitiveness & usability greatly.  Pellica annoyances, Imad fixed without any prompting.  Great job & Thank you for a great Analog Film Photography App Imad!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this! Hearing that the changes of the last five months made Pellica easier to use for you made my day. I'll keep going. Happy shooting!

— Imad, Pellica

### 3/5 — Map malfunctioning

*2026-09-07*

Returns to current location when browsing around the map.

**Developer response:** You found a real one, and you described it precisely enough that I could go
straight to the code that caused it. Thank you for that.

The map was re-centring itself on your position when it had no business doing
so. You would pan across town to look at labs somewhere else, and it would pull
you straight back. Browsing more than a few streets away was close to
impossible, which makes the lab map fairly useless. That was a bug, not a
setting, and it is fixed.

The map now stays exactly where you leave it. It frames your position once when
you open it, and after that it moves only when you ask it to, with the locate
button or a search.

The fix ships in the next update, with tests that fail if this behaviour ever
comes back. If you give the map another go, I would genuinely like to know
whether it feels right to you now.

### 5/5 — 모두가 기다려온 앱.

*2026-08-19*

훌륭합니다. 완벽합니다. 고맙습니다. 잘 쓸게요. 돈이 아깝지 않아요.

**Developer response:** 따뜻한 리뷰 정말 감사합니다! 혼자 만드는 앱이라 큰 힘이 됩니다. 즐거운 필름 생활 되세요!

— Imad, Pellica

### 5/5 — Indispensable film management!

*2026-05-25*

Here is the first useful and simple-to-use yet complete system for keeping track of film exposures; it’s brilliant!

**Developer response:** Thank you — exactly the kind of review that keeps a solo dev going. "Useful, simple, complete" was the brief from day one (after juggling four apps to do what one should), so really glad it landed.

And the username made me smile. If a self-described reluctant iUser still finds something indispensable on iOS, that's a high bar passed.

If you ever spot a missing feature or a rough edge, drop me a line via the support email :)
