Sprokbook vs FilmSlate Mobile

You get your scans back and the first question is: when did I take this? Which roll was this — Ektar or CineStill? Sprokbook gives your analog camera digital powers — the when, where, and what of every frame you shoot. SHOOT, TAP, ADVANCE One tap captures the time and GPS coordinates. Include a reference photo so you can match frames to negatives when your scans come back. KNOW WHAT'S LOADED IN EVERY CAMERA Forgot whether you loaded Portra 400 or 800? Sprokbook tracks your cameras, the roll in each one, and how far through it you are — all at a glance. Switch between bodies mid-shoot or load a new roll without losing track. SHOOT WITHOUT BREAKING YOUR FLOW Instantly log exposures from the Action button and your Apple Watch with a Shortcut. Log without opening your app or even picking up your phone. REMEMBER EVERY ROLL, STOCK, AND FRAME Scroll back through months of shooting and see the full history — which stocks you've been running, where you've been shooting, how your habits have changed. Your shooting life, organized by camera and roll. EXPORT YOUR DATA Save to CSV or JSON for analysis, archiving, or scripting. Everything — location, timestamp, film stock, frame number — comes with you. BACKED UP WITH ICLOUD Your full shooting history stays backed up and synced via iCloud. Start on one device, continue on another. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Sprokbook does not collect any data. Your location and photo data stays on your private iCloud account. No accounts, no tracking, no telemetry, no ads. Period.

FilmSlate ends the era of handwritten roll notes, lost negative sleeves, and "what camera did I shoot this on?" THE LOOP 1. Open the app. Type your roll's metadata — camera, film stock, ISO, lens, push/pull, project, notes. 2. Generate a digital slate — a photographable image with the metadata in editorial typography and a high-error-correction QR code at the bottom. 3. Photograph the slate on your film roll. 4. Shoot normally. 5. Get your roll back from the lab. Drag the folder of scans onto the FilmSlate Desktop app (free, at filmslateapp.com) and every image gets EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata embedded — Camera, Lens, Focal Length, ISO, Date, Location, Project, Keywords, Artist, Copyright. Lightroom (and Photos, and Capture One) instantly filter the entire roll. One photographed frame. A whole roll tagged. No accounts, no cloud, no monthly fee. WHAT YOU CAN STORE PER ROLL — Camera (Make + Model) — Lens (Make + Model + Focal Length) — Film Brand + Stock — curated catalog of 70+ stocks across 14 brands, plus custom — ISO, with push/pull stops — Project, Roll Name, Date, Location, Notes — Artist + Copyright — auto-stamped on every image in the roll Save reusable presets for cameras, lenses, and film stocks. The New Session form quick-fills from a single tap. SCAN EXISTING SLATES Already photographed a slate? Tap the Scan tab, point your camera at the QR, and it imports as a session on your phone. Useful for shared shoots, lab handoffs, or working across multiple devices. DESIGNED FOR FILM PHOTOGRAPHERS Built to feel like a darkroom apprentice — quiet, exact, and respectful of the craft of analog photography. DOES NOT REQUIRE — An account — A network connection (the QR is a self-contained payload — everything happens on your device) — Cloud storage of your photos (we don't see them) — A subscription LIGHTROOM-READY Every payload field maps to where Lightroom indexes it: Camera filter, Lens filter, Focal Length filter, ISO filter, Date filter, Location filter, Job ID, Keyword List, Creator, Copyright. Filter the whole roll by any combination, immediately, on import. THE COMPANION DESKTOP APP The metadata write-back happens on macOS. Free and simple — download it from filmslateapp.com. Drag-and-drop: drop a folder of scans, the app finds the slate frame, decodes the QR, and embeds metadata into every image in the folder. No subscription, no upload, no telemetry. FOR WORKING FILM PHOTOGRAPHERS If you shoot multiple cameras and film stocks, send to labs or scan at home, and live in Lightroom — this is the metadata bridge between analog and digital you've been keeping handwritten lists for.
