About FilmFridge
FilmFridge is the inventory app analog photographers have been waiting for. Track every roll, pack, and box of film from the moment it goes in your fridge to the moment it comes back from the lab, with a workflow that matches the way you actually shoot. Barcode scanning, Watch support, cloud sync, iPad view, and a complete storage-to-archive workflow. ○ THE FRIDGE ○ Scan the barcode on any film box, and FilmFridge instantly identifies the stock, pulling in brand, name, ISO, format, and frame count from a built-in database of 600+ film stocks. Or search by name and let typeahead suggestions fill in the details. Every roll is tracked individually, with expiry alerts and low-stock warnings so you always know what you have. Formats supported: 35mm, 120, 220, 110, Minox, APS, 4x5, 5x7, 8x10, Instax Mini, Instax Wide, Instax Square, Polaroid 600, i-Type, SX-70, Polaroid Go, and more. Legacy formats like 620, 127, Disc, and Super 16, and motion picture formats Super 8, Double/Regular 8, and 16mm are covered, and we just added 35mm disposable/single-use cameras! ○ LOADED ○ Load a roll into a camera with a single tap. See every camera you have loaded right now, with the film stock, ISO, and how long the roll has been in. Log shooting sessions with short notes and GPS-tagged locations as you work. ○ MID-ROLL SWAP ○ Pull a roll mid-roll to switch stocks - FilmFridge records the frame you stopped at and reminds you exactly where to continue when you reload. ○ LAB ○ When the roll is done, send it to the lab in one step with optional instructions: push/pull, service type, slide mounting, and negative cutting. A days-waiting counter starts immediately. Developing and scanning your own film? Use the lab tab to manage your processing backlog and track rolls through your workflow at your own pace. ○ HISTORY ○ Your complete shooting archive, organized by month. Search by film stock, camera, location, or any note you logged along the way. ○ BULK ROLL FILM ○ Load your own cassettes from a bulk spool? FilmFridge tracks remaining footage and records every cassette you cut, with frame count estimates that update as you load. ○ APPLE WATCH ○ Check what's loaded in each camera, update shot ISO, log your last frame, and add journal entries by voice - all from your wrist. ○ CLOUD SYNC ○ Optional cloud sync keeps your inventory, settings, and custom locations up to date across all your devices. Sign in with your email - no password required. Your data stays private and on-device by default. ○ IPAD LAYOUT ○ Unlock a purpose-built iPad interface with a persistent sidebar and split-view detail panels. One-time in-app purchase, $0.99. Built for film photographers, by film photographers.
What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated May 1, 2026
** Disposable/Single-use Cameras FilmFridge now tracks single-use cameras as a first-class film type. Add them to your Fridge, tap Start to begin shooting, return them mid-roll with a frame note, and send them to the lab when you're done — no camera picker, no push/pull, no friction. Enable Disposable Cameras in Settings → Options. ** Settings Sync App settings now sync across devices alongside your film inventory. Toggle a feature on one device, and it appears on your others within seconds. Custom locations carry over, too. ** ISO Label Clarity Rolls in all views now show a stock's original ISO when you're shooting at box speed, and "Shot ISO" when you've rated it differently. No more ambiguity about which value you're looking at. ** Fixes and improvements * Deleting a custom location that has rolls assigned now asks for confirmation and returns those rolls to the Fridge rather than orphaning them. * Fixed the handling of certain special characters in film stock names that caused them to be "locked". * Improved German translation.
