About this tool

This tool keeps track of your developer and fixer: how many rolls each bottle has processed against its capacity, and how fresh it is against its shelf life. It warns you when a bottle is exhausted or expired, so you never develop on dead chemistry. Everything is saved in your browser.

  1. Enter a bottle name, mixing or opening date, shelf life, capacity and rolls already used.
  2. Press Add bottle to save it to your list.
  3. Tap +1 roll after each film to count it down.
  4. Watch for the low and replace warnings before your next session.

How do I know a developer is exhausted?

When rolls used reaches capacity, or the shelf life passes, the tool flags it to replace. Always confirm with a clip test for fixer.
