A darkroom timer for developing film

Pick the roll and the recipe fills in every step. Timer adjusts for push, pull and temperature, works out the dilution for your tank, and tells you when to agitate.

Timer: developer step running at 6:27 with an agitate cue

What Timer does

  • Runs developer, stop, fix and wash from a saved recipe: film, EI, developer, dilution, temperature, time and agitation
  • Agitation cues with a countdown and sounds; Ilford's standard pattern when the recipe has none
  • Black-and-white times adjusted for temperature, about 8 % per °C within ±6 °C; colour processes are never adjusted
  • Push and pull in thirds of a stop, up to ±3 stops
  • Mixing amounts for your tank from dilutions like 1+9, 1:9 or stock
  • Chemistry batches with capacity and shelf life; reused developer adds time per roll
  • Keeps running while you use other tools and marks the roll developed when done
  • Notes go back into the recipe for the next roll
