What it is
DevGlass is for black-and-white and darkroom enthusiasts: from looking up recipes, mixing chemistry and timing multi-step processes, to development logs, chemical management and yearly statistics — the darkroom workflow, gathered into one iPhone or iPad.
No account, no connection, no data collection: everything stays on your device.
Core capabilities
Development database
A built-in reference you can search by format and film.
- 308 films, 190 developers and 11,849 recipes
- Filter by 35mm / 120 / sheet film; pick a film and ISO to get the development time and dilution
- Most combinations include push / pull times
Multi-step development timer
Run the whole process in one go: pre-soak → develop → stop → fix → wash aid → wash → wetting agent.
- Toggle each step on or off and adjust its duration
- Sound and haptic prompts at every step
- Live progress on the lock screen and Dynamic Island
- The screen stays awake while timing
Colour processing: C-41 / E-6
Built-in standard timings and process guides, including home kits such as three-bath Blix, with handling for temperature and continuous agitation.
Agitation reminders
Four schemes — standard, continuous, minimal and custom — with sound and vibration when it's time.
Compensation calculations
Temperature compensation (the Ilford formula), reciprocity and rotary-processing compensation, giving you the adjusted development time automatically.
Dilution calculator
Mix quickly from concentrate and water.
- Built-in tank capacities for Paterson, Jobo, AP Compact and more
- Also supports custom volumes and any dilution ratio
Favourites, log and statistics
Keep your regulars close, and look back on your darkroom year.
- Favourite the recipes you use often
- Log film, developer, time, temperature, roll count and notes
- Export the log as CSV
- Charts and a yearly review of your darkroom footprint
Chemical management
Record opening dates and shelf life, with a reminder to replace chemistry before it expires.
Designed for the darkroom
Built to be used with wet hands under a safelight.
- Light / dark / red safelight themes
- A full-screen, large-type countdown
- A developing-tank guide
- Full backup and restore of your data (logs, favourites, chemistry)
- Six languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, German and French
Who it's for
- First-timers developing their own film who need a dependable schedule
- More advanced users who push / pull, change temperature or rotary-process
- Darkroom hobbyists who want to log their habits and track a year's output
- Colour users who mainly shoot black and white and occasionally run C-41 / E-6
