Lightme - Logbook is a clean and powerful tool to record and keep track of your rolls, shots, developments, and all the gear that revolves around shooting film — from 35mm to medium and large format. The idea behind it is simple: logging a shot should take seconds, not steal time from actually shooting. Lightme pairs a beautiful, immediate interface with enough depth and flexibility to fit any workflow, whether you shoot a couple of rolls a year or fill several large format holders in an afternoon. LOGGING, EFFORTLESSLY • Log a shot in seconds: aperture, shutter speed, focal length, filters, bellows correction, measured EV, notes and more • Log straight from your wrist with the companion Apple Watch app, with Siri and Shortcuts, or from the home screen and lock screen widgets • Together with the Lightme Lightmeter app, your meter readings can prefill a new shot automatically • Every shot can carry a location and address, a preview photo, and later its final scan, plus a star rating ROLLS, SHEETS AND DEVELOPMENTS • Track rolls from loading to unloading, with film stocks from a growing database and a processing pipeline: waiting for development, off to the lab, back from the lab, to be scanned, scanned • Keep detailed development notes — developer, dilution, time, temperature, agitation — for rolls and single sheets alike, including push/pull (N+ / N-) development • Add post-development notes and a photo of the final result to rolls, sheets and individual shots YOUR GEAR, ORGANIZED • Cameras and lenses with nicknames, formats (including custom formats you define), pinhole and bellows flags, custom shutter speeds and selectable shutter step sizes • Roll film backs and lens filters with their exposure compensation • Film holders and backs can be marked as compatible with specific cameras, and everything is searchable from a single bar LARGE FORMAT, COVERED • Keep track of your film holders with three states — unloaded, loaded and exposed — always knowing which film is inside each one • Group holders together and follow every sheet from exposure through development INSIGHTS FROM YOUR DATA • Build and save custom queries, filtering by date (fixed or rolling windows), camera, lens, film stock, format, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length and notes • Visualize results with histograms — by camera, lens, film stock, shutter speed, aperture, focal length, ISO, format, rating or hour of the day — alongside aggregate stats like mean aperture and average exposure • Save the queries you use most and re-run them anytime YOUR DATA, YOURS • Everything syncs privately through iCloud across your iPhone and iPad • Export any selection of data as CSV or JSON, or as a beautifully formatted PDF with customizable columns and a contact-sheet mode, bundled with your images in a single ZIP • Batch-write shooting metadata (EXIF) onto your scans — for a whole roll at once, or by matching files from the Files app • Viewing and exporting your data is free, forever; adding and editing is unlocked with a one-time purchase or a subscription AND MORE • Full-text search, favourites and an archive to keep things tidy • Available in English, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Simplified Chinese • A roadmap of what's coming next lives right in the app — new very cool features are on the way :) If you have any suggestion or issue, write me at lightme.apps@gmail.com Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

TuttiCam

Features
Read full description

TuttiCam links multiple iPhones, action cams and mirrorless cameras into one group. One iPhone is the host; the others fire in sync, making interval shooting easier for timelapse, photogrammetry and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). HOLD STILL, THEN SHOOT The gyroscope estimates motion blur, and the next round starts only when every connected iPhone is steady. Choose Tripod, Handheld, or plain interval shooting with no stillness detection. Walk to the next spot, hold still, and your devices keep shooting. NO ROUTER NEEDED Nearby iPhones connect peer to peer over AWDL, the technology behind AirDrop, with no internet needed; shared Wi-Fi works too. Clocks are aligned regularly and shutter lag is compensated. The host sets the interval, format and supported capture settings for the whole group. EXPOSURE AND LENSES IN THE VIEWFINDER Adjust white balance, tint, exposure compensation and AF/MF. Pro adds manual shutter speed and ISO. Available lenses and controls depend on each device. SINGLE-LENS RAW, DUAL-LENS CAPTURE Single-lens interval shooting supports RAW (DNG) on compatible models and lenses, saved with the processed photo, for more highlight and shadow detail in night-scene 3DGS and large areas. Supported devices can shoot with the 0.5x ultra wide and front cameras at once, with a side-by-side preview, in JPEG or HEIC. Multi-lens mode does not support RAW. TURN ONE PHONE INTO A REMOTE In Remote Mode the host skips its own camera and just sets up and triggers shots. Selected DJI, GoPro, Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon and Ricoh cameras trigger over Bluetooth; compatible DJI models also report battery and remaining shots. External cameras must share a rig with an iPhone that detects stillness. See our website for supported models. Their photos stay on the camera and are exported separately. CAPTURE DATA FOR EVERY PHOTO Each photo gets a JSON file with exposure timing, sync deviation, camera settings and motion data. Route Compass (Pro) records capture points and your relative path, so you can see where you've been. It's estimated offline from the gyroscope and accelerometer, with no GPS or network; relative positions drift. ORGANIZED BY SCENE, READY TO EXPORT Create or switch scene folders anytime; Pro lets you name them. Photos and JSON files are sorted by scene, round, device and lens. Share or copy folders from the Files app for structure from motion, 3DGS training or timelapse editing. Export each iPhone's photos from that device. THE DEVELOPER USES IT TOO • DJI Osmo 360 + iPhone 14 Pro, a large car show: about 4,000 photos, aligned and trained into Gaussian splats in Spirula. • iPhone 17 Pro + iPhone 14 Pro, my home: about 1,200 photos, processed in MipMap and published via Unity to VRChat to tour with friends. TuttiCam captures photos and metadata; 3D reconstruction, 3DGS training and timelapse rendering happen in other software. FREE STEADY INTERVAL SHOOTING. ONLY THE HOST NEEDS PRO. Free: up to 3 devices, automatic steady interval shooting, manual white balance and tint, and AF/MF. Pro: up to 8 devices, plus manual shutter and ISO, Route Compass and custom scene names. Pro is based on the host, so clients don't need to buy it. Pricing and trial eligibility are shown in the app. NO ACCOUNT. PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR DEVICES. No sign-up. Photos and capture data stay on each device. No advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and location access is up to you. Requires iOS 18 or later. Lens combinations, resolutions and RAW support vary by model. Actual exposure timing depends on the device, lighting and exposure length; coordinated triggering is not hardware-synchronized exposure.
