Frames is a modern tool built for analog photographers who want to bring structure and precision to their film workflow. Instead of relying on notebooks or memory, Frames allows you to record detailed shot information as you shoot—directly from your iPhone. After developing and scanning your rolls, the macOS companion app helps you inject this data into your JPEGs, enriching your files with searchable metadata.
Built entirely with Apple’s latest technologies including SwiftData and SwiftUI, Frames is fast, private, and designed to feel native across iOS and macOS. No servers, no tracking—just your film, your data, your way.
Whether you're an artist archiving your creative process or a professional photographer tracking gear and settings, Frames makes sure no detail is lost between the shutter click and the final scan.
Key Features:
- Frame-by-frame note-taking for analog photos
- Log aperture, shutter, ISO, exposure comp, and more
