Chronodev vs Safelight Darkroom Timer

Transform your iPhone into an enlarger timer using Chronodev. Chronodev uses HomeKit-enabled wall plugs and lightbulbs to control your enlarger and safelights. Secondhand enlarger timers can be expensive and hard to find. This one costs the price of a wi-fi wall plug. - Control your enlarger and safelight with your iPhone or iPad - Expose prints accurately using the HomeKit-enabled timer - Manual enlarger control for focusing - Use the metronome for dodging and burning - Adjust times using EV stops - Automatically create test strips with incremental exposures, and keep track of exposure times using a handy graph - Automatically turn your safelight off when exposing/focusing - Voice control support for hands-free development - Safe to use in black and white darkrooms when using iOS's built-in red color filter A HomeKit-enabled wall plug and/or lightbulb is required to use all features of this app. Some features (like a basic timer and EV stop calculations) are available without a HomeKit-enabled device.

Safelight Darkroom Timer helps analog darkroom printers calculate exposure changes, run timed print workflows, and save the setup that worked. Use the darkroom-friendly timer for Focus, Expose, and Process timing with large controls, red/amber/green display themes, optional haptic feedback, completion sound, and keep-screen-on behavior when enabled. Turn one base exposure time into a stop-based table with the F-Stop Calculator. Use free 1/4 and 1/3 stop steps, send a result to the timer, or run a test strip one exposure at a time. Save print sessions with base exposure, stop step, paper, filter grade, developer, and notes so you can repeat or adjust your best darkroom prints later. Search, edit, delete, repeat, and use saved sessions from the Sessions screen. Use the Print Process Timer for expose, develop print, stop bath, fix, and optional wash steps. Manage darkroom metadata presets for paper, developer, and filter grades. Safelight Pro unlocks unlimited saved sessions, advanced stop steps, Dodge & Burn planning, memory banks, run plans, and CSV/Text export and sharing. Important: Safelight is a darkroom-friendly display and timing utility. It is not a flashlight, photo editor, AI app, lab ordering service, hardware enlarger controller, or guarantee that a phone screen is safe for every photographic paper or film. Always test your own paper and darkroom conditions.
