Phoslog is a logging-first app for film photographers. Record your time, location and exposure settings as you shoot, then write them to your scans on Mac. Your photos sort in your library by the moment you shot them, not when the lab scanned them.
Capture
Log every shot, keep track of each roll through its lifecycle, and know which roll is loaded in which camera.
Watch
Leave your phone at home. Log from your wrist completely offline, and everything syncs to iPhone seamlessly when you reconnect.
Frictionless
Log in a tap with the Action Button, a complication, or Control Center. Less time on your phone, more time in the moment.
Attach
Effortlessly attach logged metadata to your scans with Phoslog Desktop. Or export logged data into any workflow. It all works.
Date & time
Tagged with rich metadata, your photos sort by the moment you pressed the shutter, not when the lab scanned them.
Privacy
Everything lives on-device by default. Export it all anytime in human-readable JSON or CSV.
Every photo knows its time, location and exposure info.
Your library sorts itself with rich metadata.
Phoslog gives you tons of ways to log an exposure, all built to keep it frictionless: less time on your phone, more time taking photos.
Hit the Action Button for a quick exposure or the full add-exposure sheet. Tap a watch face complication, or log straight from Control Center. And of course you can always open Phoslog the good old-fashioned way. The world…errr….app is your oyster. You've got options.
Pin a loaded roll on iPhone and Apple Watch to target that roll for Quick Exposure and Add Exposure controls, complications and the add button on the Home Screen. Otherwise Phoslog logs to the roll with the most recent exposure.
Preload all your rolls into stash before you start a shoot or head out on that next big trip. Swipe a roll to loaded and pick an available camera. Unload your film after you get done taking epic shots and keep track of every roll throughout its entire lifecycle.
When you are done scanning swipe all your rolls to archive where they are always available. Sort, filter and search to find exactly the roll or exposure you are looking for.
Export a .phos file for seamless integration into Phoslog Desktop, where you can pair and write metadata to the correct film scan.
Use the ExifTool-compatible JSON export if you have an established workflow and don't like change. I think Phoslog Desktop is pretty slick, but sometimes change is hard. I get it.
For the spreadsheet junkies among us, export your rolls and exposures as a CSV and VLOOKUP to your heart's content.
Use Phoslog Desktop to write your logged exposure data straight into your film scans. Drag in a .phos export or any ExifTool-compatible JSON as the source, point it at your folder of scans, and hit pair.
If you nailed it, you're done. If something's off, you can shift and drag images into place, or duplicate an exposure when you need to, then fine-tune details from the side panel.
Your squeaky-clean data writes to a fresh set of images wherever you choose. Your scans are copied pixel-for-pixel, so the quality is exactly as you scanned it. Your originals are never touched.
Add cameras, lenses, and more to Phoslog. Keep track of which camera is loaded with which roll. Know exactly which lens shot every exposure. Sort, filter and search by make, model, lens mount, and more.
Phoslog relies on accurate gear input to make logging as frictionless as possible. What does this mean? It only shows you options that reflect what your gear can actually do.
If you are logging an exposure with your Nikon FE2 and Voigtländer 40mm Ultron SL II, Phoslog is only going to show you exposure modes, aperture values, and shutter speeds that are available for this camera/lens combo. No slogging through an endless list of aperture or shutter speed values.
The whole app works this way, from selecting a filter with a step ring to loading a roll into an available camera.
Tuck finished rolls away without deleting them. They are always available for search, filtering, and export.
Filter and sort across your film and gear to find exactly what you're looking for.
Search almost any detail of a roll, exposure, or gear. That one shot from a tiny town in Japan? Type it in.
Changing devices? Back up your entire roll, exposure, and gear library in human-readable JSON.
Accidentally logged an exposure to the wrong roll? No stress, you can move it.
Shoot the same setup a lot? Duplicate a roll, details and all, straight to your stash.
Phoslog works in Tokyo or the middle of the Sahara. Use your Apple Watch solo and reconnect when you're back.
If you miss an exposure, duplicate above or below to fill in the blank.
Exposures sort by when you shot them, so you never juggle frame numbers.
Deleted a roll by mistake? Restore it from Trash. Rolls delete after 30 days in the trash.
Sausage fingers happen. Quickly hit undo in case you accidentally delete a roll or exposure.
Rate each newly created exposure and sing its praises with a note.
