Roll Keeper is a focused archive tool for film photographers who scan their negatives and want every roll to stay organized after it lands in Apple Photos. Scan your library for roll-like batches, review contact sheets, then save each roll with film stock, camera, lens, approximate shooting dates, locations, notes, and selected frames. Manual roll creation is available when your lab filenames are messy or when you want to build an archive by hand. You can also sync selected roll dates and locations back to Photos metadata when you choose, keeping your archive and EXIF details aligned. Key features: - Detect likely rolls from scanner filenames and frame patterns - Review each detected roll as a contact sheet before saving - Create or edit rolls manually - Add and remove photos after creation - Save film stock, camera, lens, date range, location, and notes - Sync shooting date and location metadata back to selected Photos assets - Keep demo rolls available until your first real archive roll - Export and share contact sheets Roll Keeper reads photo metadata and thumbnails from your library to help identify scans. It does not move or delete your original photos.
