Explore a built-in seed library of 30 film/developer pairs, filter by ISO or developer, and get accurate, temperature-compensated development times using the standard time-temperature adjustment formula. Build a custom development sequence with pre-soak, develop, stop, fix, and rinse steps, each with its own duration, agitation cadence, and alert sound.

The Lock Screen widget lets you monitor progress at a glance, and Siri Shortcuts let you start a run hands-free. Calculate tank volume for 35mm, 120, or 4x5 sheet holders and figure out exact stock concentrate and water needed for any dilution.
