DarkRoom Chemist

The Precision Assistant for Analog Photographers.

Developing film is a blend of chemistry and craft. DarkRoom Chemist takes the guesswork out of the lab, providing a streamlined, intuitive interface to help you achieve consistent, professional results every time you crack open a tank.

CUSTOMIZABLE WORKFLOWS
Whether you’re shooting 35mm, medium format, or large format, every roll requires a unique touch. Create custom development processes or start instantly with built-in templates for:
• C-41 Color Negative: Precisely timed for the critical developer stage.
• B&W Film: Fully adjustable for your favorite film and developer combinations.
• E-6 Slide: Manage the complex 3-bath or 6-bath slide processes with ease.

INTELLIGENT TIMERS & AGITATION CUES
Never miss a turn. Our interactive timer guides you through every stage—Developer, Stop Bath, Fixer, and Wash.
• Haptic Feedback: Feel the agitation cues even when your hands are busy.
• Stay Awake: The "Keep Screen Awake" feature ensures your timer never goes dark in the middle of a critical step.
• Dual Units: Seamlessly switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

TRACK YOUR RESULTS
The journey doesn't end when the film is dry. Use the integrated Chemistry Gallery to:
• Import photos of your developed rolls.
• Link images directly to the chemical process used to create them.
• Store notes on exposure, dilution, or temperature for future reference.

PRIVATE & SECURE
Your data belongs to you. DarkRoom Chemist uses the latest Apple technologies to store your processes and photos locally on your device. No accounts, no cloud tracking—just you and your craft.
