Forgotten what's loaded
Loading a roll of film and losing track of what stock, ISO, or push/pull you set is a universal frustration. By the time it goes to the lab, the details are gone.

Your analog photography,
Your analog photography,
finally on record.
Film photographers lose the story of their work — forgotten stocks, mystery rolls, exposure data that lives only in memory. FilmLedger is the dedicated field record that tracks every frame from shutter to scan.

The Problem
Problem 01
Problem 02
Problem 03
Analog workflows deserve better than sticky notes.
Shooting film is deliberate and measured. But most photographers still track their work in spreadsheets, notes apps, or from memory — which means exposure data gets lost, rolls get mixed up, and the archive never quite tells the whole story.
No exposure history
Metering a shot, choosing a shutter speed, stopping down — none of it is recorded. When the scan comes back, there's nothing to learn from or compare against.
Gear and stock scattered
Camera bodies, lenses, film stocks across multiple formats — cataloging your kit is time consuming and the data lives in too many places to be useful.
The Solution
One place, start to finish.
01 / Collect
Catalog your kit
Build your film library and gear inventory. Track stock quantities, camera bodies, lenses, and their mount types. Know exactly what you have before you head out.
02 / Shoot
Log every frame
Load a roll, meter a scene, and record the exposure — aperture, shutter speed, GPS location, and notes. A built-in light meter keeps it fast enough to use in the field.
03 / Archive
Complete the record
Track rolls through the lab, attach scans to frames, and build a permanent archive of your work with the full technical context preserved alongside the image.
