Frames – Thoughtful Metadata Logging for Analog Film Photographers

Frames is a dedicated tool for analog photographers who want to keep their shooting process organized without sacrificing the character of film. Available for iPhone and macOS, the app allows users to log essential shooting data — including camera, lens, film stock, exposure settings, and notes — while working through a roll.

What sets Frames apart is its ability to reintegrate this data into scanned JPEG images on macOS, enabling photographers to preserve technical context as metadata. Whether you're shooting 35mm, medium format, or large format, Frames adapts to your workflow without cloud dependencies or invasive features. It’s a local, privacy-focused solution created for film shooters by someone who shoots film.

Built and maintained by a solo indie developer, Frames offers a unique blend of analog respect and digital utility. It's ideal for those archiving their work, publishing online, or simply wanting to stay more intentional behind the lens.
