Tibaco Point

Tibaco Point is a darkroom companion for community print facilities. Whether you're refining your craft or exploring analog processes, this app helps you manage every step of your printing workflow—from booking equipment to dialing exposure and logging recipes.

The Booking screen shows which stations are bookable and available. Use "Reserve this station" to lock in your preferred enlarger for your session. Once at the darkroom, the Enlarger screen is your control center. Select your print and tap "Edit exposure" to adjust settings precisely. The screen keeps your settings visible in real time, letting you test between test strips and final prints while making quick refinements.

The Recipe screen captures your darkroom process. After developing a print, log the Develop time in minutes, Stop bath duration in seconds, Fix time in minutes, Wash time in minutes, Temperature, and Temperature unit. Every recipe you save becomes a permanent reference readable by community members who want to replicate your technique. Over time, your recipes form a personal library of tested approaches.

The Prints screen displays your work and the facility's full Catalog. Browse, search for specific images or techniques, and see which prints are bookable. Add prints to Favorites, starting from "No favourites yet." The Orders section shows available prints, lets you "Place order," and displays the "Order for the shelf." You can explore "Shared" prints from community members.

The Portfolios screen starts with an "Empty portfolio" and a "Create portfolio" button. Add your strongest prints to build a visual record of your artistic development. Portfolios become something you reference, share, or use to track your progress over time—a way to think about your body of work as a whole.

The Search screen lets you explore the facility's work in detail. Whether you're finding a specific recipe you remember, looking for prints by technique, or discovering work by other photographers, Search connects you across the community. The Members screen shows who else prints at your facility, building connection. The Map screen displays darkroom locations for multi-site facilities. Settings let you customize the app to your preferences and workflow.

Tibaco Point uses underlying capabilities—AppProvider and integrated app functions—that sync your bookings, recipes, prints, and portfolios across all your sessions. Your data stays current and accessible whether you're planning future sessions, referencing past recipes, or reviewing your portfolio.

This app is for anyone serious about darkroom practice—developing your own consistent workflow, learning from experienced printers, or teaching others the craft. If you print in a community darkroom, Tibaco Point is your reference tool, your session organizer, and your connection to a community of photographers sharing your passion for analog printing.

Book your station, dial your exposure, log your recipe, and build your portfolio with Tibaco Point.
