Film cameras don't record dates, locations or settings. Log each frame as you shoot — camera, lens, aperture, shutter, film stock — and when your scans come back, MatchGrain writes it into the files as real EXIF: date, GPS, exposure. Readable in Lightroom, Photos, and anywhere else. Entirely on iPhone. No Mac, no desktop software, no spreadsheets.
