Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

The described workflow follows a roll from fridge to camera, lab, and archive, while treating camera bodies and manual lenses as gear. Exposure records can include aperture, shutter mode, exposure compensation, lens, and free-form notes. The page says the resulting metadata will be exportable to EXIF or scan descriptions, with full JSON export available alongside optional iCloud backup. The App Store release is listed as coming soon, and the stated price is a one-time $4.99.
