TimerGlass vs LightCast Suite

TimerGlass is the field companion for film photographers — reciprocity, pinhole geometry, exposure estimation, and a beautiful timer, all in one quietly designed app. WHAT IT DOES • Reciprocity failure correction for 100+ film stocks (Ilford, Kodak, Fuji, Foma, Rollei, ADOX, CineStill, Lomography and more) — built from manufacturer data sheets. • ND filter stack and bellows extension compensation are folded into the same calculation. • Pinhole camera tool — Lord Rayleigh's optimal aperture, effective f-number, equivalent angle of view by film format, and Sunny-16 exposure estimation that flows straight into the timer. • Long-exposure timer with Live Activity and Dynamic Island, accurate even when your phone is locked. • Long-exposure side-effects advice — pull-development guidance for B&W, color-shift tips for negative and slide film, contextual to your actual exposure time. • History of recent exposures with all the parameters you used. • Custom film stocks — define your own with power-law or lookup-table reciprocity curves. DESIGNED FOR Large-format and pinhole photographers who do long exposures often, 35mm and medium-format shooters chasing dusk and night scenes, and anyone tired of squinting at a film data sheet by torchlight. LANGUAGES English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, Deutsch, Français. PRIVACY TimerGlass collects nothing. Everything you do stays on your device.

You checked a weather app. It said partly cloudy. You drove an hour for sunset. The light was flat. LightCast Suite makes sure that won't happen again, giving you a score and notification for tonight's specific conditions. Not raw weather data. An actual answer that's easy to understand for outdoor photographers. 1 Suite, 7 Photography Tools: GoldCast: Tonight's sunset or sunrise on a 0-100 scale, with your best shooting window and a plain-language sky reading StarCast: Milky Way visibility, Bortle class, moon phase, and dark window timing in one place for your astrophotography shoots AuroraCast (BETA): Aurora Borealis activity and likelihood of visibility FogCast: Know when fog is likely to form and see expected density, timing, and burn-off windows CloudCast: Cloud layer breakdown and light quality scored for your shooting target: portrait, landscape, wildlife, or long exposure DroneCast: Don't lose a shot to a gust you didn't see coming. See wind speed, gusts, and visibility scored for what your exact drone model can handle, so you know before you fly TriCast: exposure triangle, ND stops, star trail intervals, DOF, and timelapse calculators — every field tool you need, one tap away Receive notifications when conditions cross your thresholds, so you never miss a shooting window. Explore conditions on a map, and see where conditions are better nearby before you make the drive. Built to help photographers chase better light.
