The record your film can't keep.

Phoslog is a logging-first companion for film photographers. Capture time, location and exposure settings on iPhone or Apple Watch, then write them permanently to your scans on Mac.

Every exposure deserves a record.

A familiar feeling

You finish a roll and the context is already fading. Which lens for frames 14 through 22? What were you metering off? Was it pushed?

Then the scans come back. Thirty-six files. No camera data, no lens, no aperture. Just a timestamp from the scanner.

You know some of those frames are good. You just can’t remember how you made them.

How Phoslog helps

Log the frame before you advance.

The idea behind Phoslog is simple: the best time to record a shot is the moment it happens. So the app is built to get out of your way. Open fast, log fast, close fast.

One press of the Action Button and the exposure sheet is already open. Aperture, shutter, lens, notes. Log it, advance the film, keep shooting.

When your scans come back, the data is waiting, ready to be written permanently into the files on Mac.

What's inside

Built for how you actually shoot.

Everything in Phoslog is designed for the moment between frames. Calm, fast, and out of the way.

01

Instant capture.

Phoslog opens where you need it. Aperture, shutter, lens, film stock, notes: a few taps without breaking your rhythm.

Assign the Action Button and the exposure sheet is already open before you've thought about it.

Action Button support

02

Log from your wrist.

The Watch app runs completely standalone. No phone needed. Raise your wrist, log the frame, put it down.

Designed for photographers who'd rather keep both hands on the camera. Exposures sync to iPhone quietly in the background.

03

Your gear, looked after.

Cameras, lenses, and filters live in a proper library, not a notes field. Add your kit once and it's there every time you load a roll.

Change lenses mid-roll and Phoslog keeps track. When you export, everything is clean and ready for EXIF.

The full loop

From shutter to archive.

Three steps. Every frame, every roll, from the moment you shoot to permanent metadata in your files.

Set your camera, film stock, and ISO. Push and pull compensation included. Phoslog remembers your gear even if you change it later.

02

Log every frame

Aperture, shutter, lens, notes. On iPhone or Apple Watch, the moment you shoot. No menus. No guessing later.

03

Write it to your scans

Export and write EXIF and XMP permanently to your image files on Mac, via the free companion app. Powered by ExifTool.
