How it works

01

Import

Drop a folder of scans. Each folder becomes a roll.

02

Analyze

Each frame gets scored for sharpness, exposure, and subject.

03

Tag

Assign dates, GPS from your location history, camera body, and film stock.

04

Export

EXIF gets saved into every frame. Your originals stay untouched.

Made for shooting film

On-device scoring

Sharpness, exposure, and quality scores for every frame. Scores show up the moment you import a roll.

Visual search

Type "sunset" or "portrait" to find matching frames. Finds what's in your photos, not just filenames.

Locations from your timeline

Import your Google Takeout timeline. Framedex matches dates to locations so each frame knows where it was shot.

500+ cameras and film stocks

A built-in gear catalog with camera bodies and film stock info. Pick your defaults and new rolls fill in with your gear.

Keyboard-first

Command palette, undo/redo, arrow keys, zoom. Every action has a shortcut. ⌘K to start.

Totally offline

Everything runs locally. No cloud, no account. Your data lives in simple text files on your Mac.

Find your gems

Frames with high sharpness, good exposure, and interesting subjects get flagged automatically. Your best shots float to the top.

Move stuff around

Rearrange your folders whenever you want. Framedex recognizes your files and reconnects everything, wherever they end up.

Safe exports

EXIF gets written into copies of your scans. Originals are never touched.
