Frames: Film Notes

Frames is a note-taking and metadata app designed exclusively for analog film photographers. In a world where shooting on film means embracing imperfection and slowing down, it’s easy to lose track of critical details like camera settings, lens choice, film stock, or even the story behind each frame. Frames was built to solve this problem, helping photographers capture essential information at the moment it matters most.

With Frames, you can quickly log your shooting data while still on set: aperture, shutter speed, focal length, film type, location, and any personal notes that bring context to your work. Later, you can embed this metadata directly into your scanned JPEG images, keeping your records clean, organized, and preserved for the future.

The app works seamlessly across iPhone and Mac, offering a complete offline workflow. The mobile app is free to use with no hidden fees, while the Mac app provides a powerful metadata embedding tool with a 7-day free trial, making Frames accessible for hobbyists and professionals alike.

Designed with a clean interface and a focus on privacy, Frames requires no cloud storage or accounts. Your notes and images stay yours.

Frames is more than a digital notebook, it's a tool to honor the craft of analog photography and ensure every frame’s story is never lost.
