Tired of messy notebooks or forgetting the settings you used for that one perfect shot? Ever found a developed roll and had no idea which camera or lens you used? Roll Notes is a digital logbook designed for the analog photographer. It's built to be a simple, beautiful, and tactile companion to your film cameras, helping you track every detail from the first exposure to the last. This isn't just another notes app; it's a tool designed from the ground up to respect the craft of film photography. Key Features, Built for Photographers: A Detailed Equipment Locker: - Log all your cameras and lenses, each with a custom photo. - Supports all major formats, including 35mm, 120, and Half Frame. - Accurately model your gear, whether it has interchangeable or fixed lenses. - Account for unique camera behaviours like automatic shutter speed or aperture priority. Track Every Roll: - Create a new entry for every roll of film you load. - Track film stock, ISO, and the number of exposures (with correct counts for half-frame cameras). - Assign a unique color to each active roll for easy identification at a glance. Note Every Shot, Your Way: - The heart of the app: a dedicated, retro-inspired card for every exposure on your roll. - Log your aperture and shutter speed, with options dynamically populated from the gear you've selected. - Jot down notes, use quick-add buttons for lighting conditions like [Sunny] or [Flash], and add timestamps with a single tap. - Full support for Half Frame cameras, providing two separate note fields for each exposure. - Lock your notes for a shot to prevent accidental changes. Review and Export: - Once a roll is finished, move it to the Archive to see a clean summary of your work. - Export data for a single roll or your entire collection to your clipboard in a clean, readable text format to share or back up anywhere. - All your data syncs seamlessly and privately between your devices using iCloud. A Note from the Developer: This app was born from a personal need to better document my own film photography. It's an independently built project, and it will always be shaped by the community that uses it. If you have an idea for a feature, find something that could work better, or just want to share your thoughts, please reach out. Your feedback is invaluable. Happy shooting!
