<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://withframes.com/"><strong>Frames</strong></a> is a thoughtfully designed app that bridges the analog and digital worlds for film photographers. In an era dominated by digital automation, Frames celebrates the intentionality and craft of <strong>analog photography</strong>—while providing modern tools to keep your work organized, searchable, and future-proof.</p><h3>Capture Every Detail</h3><p>Built for photographers who shoot on 35mm, medium, or large format film, Frames offers a clean and intuitive interface to record shooting data in real time. Capture shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, camera model, lens, film stock, exposure compensation, location, and notes—directly on your <strong>iPhone</strong> or <strong>Mac</strong>. You can also attach a digital reference image to each frame to visually connect your notes to the moment.</p><h3>Smart Metadata Integration</h3><p>Where Frames truly stands apart is in its metadata reintegration capability. After scanning your negatives, you can embed all logged data back into the resulting JPEGs as standard EXIF metadata. This makes your photo archive not just beautiful, but smart—compatible with software like Lightroom, Finder previews, and asset management systems.</p><h3>Multilingual, Private, and Cross-Platform</h3><p>The app supports 16 languages, works seamlessly across iOS and macOS, and stores all data locally—ensuring your notes remain private and fully under your control. With no subscriptions or cloud sync required, Frames respects both your workflow and your data.</p><h3>Shoot with Purpose. Archive with Precision.</h3><p>Whether you’re a street photographer who wants to remember every setup, or a portrait artist archiving an entire project, Frames gives you clarity and structure without taking away from the spontaneity of shooting on film. It’s not about replacing your notebook—it’s about evolving it.</p><p><strong>Frames</strong> is the perfect companion for analog photographers who want to shoot with purpose, archive with precision, and never lose the story behind each image.</p><h3><strong>Links</strong></h3><ul><li><p><a target="_new" rel="noopener" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id1579488213">Download Frames: Film Notes on the iOS App Store</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_new" rel="noopener" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6475552904">Download Frames: Film Metadata on the macOS App Store</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_new" rel="noopener" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://withframes.com/">Frames: Analog Photography Notes &amp; Metadata</a></p></li></ul>
