Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Analogly cost?
Analogly is a $9.99 one-time purchase on the App Store. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads — you buy it once and own every tool. It also supports Family Sharing, so up to six family members can use it with one purchase.
What devices does Analogly run on?
Analogly is built for iPhone and requires iOS 17.0 or later. It's a tiny download (about 4 MB) and runs entirely on your phone.
What tools are included?
Everything from metering your shot to developing your film — ten tools in all:
- Light meter — exposure readings with aperture, shutter speed, and ISO recommendations
- Reciprocity calculator — corrected times for long exposures, per film stock
- Roll log — track every frame: aperture, shutter, lens, location, notes
- Development timer — haptic agitation alerts through developer, stop bath, fixer, and wash
- Negative converter — live positive preview of color negatives through your camera
- Film stock browser — specs, reciprocity data, and development times for every stock
- Dev times database — black-and-white processing times by developer, dilution, and temperature
- Lab finder — nearby and mail-in film labs, including community submissions
- Chemistry tracker — dilutions, roll counts, and chemical life
- Camera bag — catalog your camera bodies and lenses
Plus Darkroom Mode, a one-tap red safelight theme that won't fog film or ruin your night vision.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No account, ever. The core tools — light meter, timers, calculators, roll log, film database — work fully offline. An internet connection is only used for the community features of the Lab Finder.
How does the light meter work?
Analogly reads the scene through your iPhone's camera and converts its exposure metering into photographic values — EV, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO — with aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and manual modes. You can also tap anywhere in the frame for a spot reading, or use the Zone System overlay to visualize tones across the scene.
Which film stocks are in the database?
47 film stocks from twelve manufacturers — Kodak, Fujifilm, Ilford, Harman, CineStill, Foma, Lomography, Kentmere, ORWO, KONO, Dubblefilm, and Optik Oldschool. That includes Portra, Ektar, Gold, T-Max, Tri-X, Kodacolor, Ektapan, HP5 Plus, FP4 Plus, Delta, Pan F Plus, Velvia, Provia, Acros, Superia, Fomapan, Kentmere Pan, Harman Phoenix, and the full CineStill line (800T, 50D, 400D, BwXX).
Each profile carries box speed, format, and frames per roll, plus reciprocity curves and black-and-white development times — for developers like D-76, HC-110, Rodinal, ID-11, DD-X, and Xtol — wherever the manufacturer actually publishes them. We don't invent data for stocks that have none.
Is my data private?
Your photography data — roll logs, frame data, camera and lens inventory, chemistry batches, and app preferences — is stored on your device using local storage. It is never transmitted to our servers, and we have no ability to access it. There's no account and no sign-in.
The app does send anonymous usage events — for example “app opened,” “timer started,” or “light meter opened” — along with the app version, so we can see which tools are actually being used. These events contain no user identifiers, no device identifiers, no location, and no content from your logs, and they cannot be linked back to you. Community lab submissions are anonymous as well.
The full breakdown is in our Privacy Policy.
Can I add a film lab that's missing?
Yes — open Lab Finder and tap Submit a Lab. Submissions are reviewed before they appear on the community map, which keeps the directory accurate for everyone.
