Roadmap / Updated September 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.
-
Now · In testing
Android on Google Play
Closed testing is underway on Google Play. The first public release lands on Android.
-
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.

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.
-
Now · In development
Single-frame conversion
Color negatives, one frame at a time, with automatic crop and white balance you can override by hand.
-
Later
Whole rolls and more film
Converting a full roll at once, and support beyond color negative film. Only after single frames are right.
