Emulsen

Roadmap / Updated October 2026

The plan, honestly.

Made by one film photographer. Here’s what exists, what’s being built, and what comes after.

Emulsen / The phone app

Remembers the roll.

Cameras, film, exposures, darkroom times — tracked on your phone, no account required.

  1. Now · Live

    Android on Google Play

    Emulsen is live on Google Play. Download it on Android — free, with Pro as a one-time unlock.

  2. Now · In development

    iPhone

    The iPhone version is being built now and already runs on real devices. It follows the Android release — same app, same local-first approach. A few details, like tapping NFC tags, work differently on iPhone and are still being tuned.

  3. After launch

    Listening

    What comes next for the app is shaped by the people using it. Tell us at info@emulsen.com.

N-05 / Emulsen Lab · For Mac

Finishes the image.

Emulsen Lab is a standalone Mac app that turns a photo of a color negative into a finished positive. Open a camera-scanned RAW or a TIFF or JPEG scan, get a natural, well-balanced conversion, make a few adjustments, and export.

No plugin, no account, no cloud. Everything runs on your Mac.

  1. Now · In development

    Single-frame conversion

    Color negatives, one frame at a time, with automatic crop and white balance you can override by hand.

  2. Later

    Whole rolls and more film

    Converting a full roll at once, and support beyond color negative film. Only after single frames are right.

Emulsen is out on Android.

Free to download, with Pro as a one-time unlock. The iPhone version follows.
