Frames

Description

Frames is an analog photography app crafted for the film photographer who prefers focus over fuss. It offers a seamless way to record, organise and revisit the many moving parts of a film workflow without getting in the way of the craft itself. There are no filters, no automation, no attempts to mimic the film look — just practical, well-considered tools that respect the pace and precision of shooting with film. Whether you’re working with 35mm, medium format or something more obscure, Frames adapts to your practice. You can log your camera and lens combinations, film stocks, exposure settings, and field notes, all tied neatly to each frame or roll. The app captures GPS location automatically, giving context to your shots without demanding attention. Everything is saved as you shoot, so your archive builds itself naturally over time. On Mac, Frames becomes an organisational hub. You can browse your collection in more detail, manage your rolls with structured folders, and embed your shooting data into the metadata of your scanned images. This means your photos remain linked to the conditions and decisions that shaped them, even after the negatives are safely stored away. Designed for photographers who value clarity and quiet over clutter, Frames features a clean, tactile interface with no logins, no tracking and no cloud requirements. It is a standalone experience, built to fit into your workflow rather than reinvent it. Frames does not try to reinvent film photography. It simply gives it space to breathe in a digital world. By helping you track what matters and preserving the story behind each frame, Frames turns your rolls into something more than just images, they become complete, documented chapters in your creative process.
