Halidestep: Darkroom Log

Make analog prints repeatable with f-stop test strips, enlargement scaling, dodge and burn maps, and print cards.

Built for the Work

Generate f-stop test sequences, scale exposure after enlargement changes, preserve filter and chemistry notes, and export repeatable print cards.

Core Tools

  • Equal f-stop test-strip sequences with clear exposure increments
  • Inverse-square enlargement-height starting-point calculation
  • Visual dodge and burn map linked to a print record
  • Compact local PDF card for recreating an approved print

Private by Design

Halidestep has no account, ads, tracking, analytics, subscription, or developer-operated backend. Records stay on your device unless you intentionally export a PDF through the iOS share sheet.

Product Boundary

Halidestep is a local darkroom notebook and exposure calculator. It does not analyze negatives, control enlargers, assess chemical safety, guarantee archival results, or replace current paper, chemistry, ventilation, electrical, and equipment instructions.
