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.

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

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.

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.
Emulsen is out on Android.
Free to download, with Pro as a one-time unlock. The iPhone version follows.
