LoaderLog is the inventory app for film loaders. Sealed cans, shortends, exposed and waste — folded live from every report you enter, then out the door as the end-of-day PDF production expects.
Free for solo loaders, cloud sync included. No subscription, ever.
The fold
Every camera report is a few taps: roll number, can size, good, no-good, waste, short end. LoaderLog folds them into a running balance per stock, per unit — shortends get banked with their lineage, waste gets flagged against your threshold, and nothing is ever overwritten. The math you used to do on the lid of a case, done for you, to the foot.
Self-running demo — real LoaderLog math.
Built for the loader's day
Every entry is append-only. Corrections void and re-enter — nothing is silently edited, and a report fixed after the PDF went out gets an honest REVISED footnote on the next one.
Banked ends keep their lineage — “from B011 ← A042” — and sub-threshold ends prompt you to call them waste. Your SE shelf, itemized for you and only you.
The sheet production expects: per-stock totals, today's rolls, shortends created, on-hand counts. In your stock colors, or built to survive the office B&W printer.
Call a film break at lunch and again at wrap — each shipment gets its own PO with per-roll push/pull notes that match the can and the report, so the lab never has to call.
Stage, desert, parking structure — fully offline. Reports queue on your device and sync when signal returns. The PDF still exports with zero bars.
Live “follows A004” hints as you type, hard blocks on duplicate numbers, and a cross-device check that catches the collision two offline loaders couldn't see.
Speaks fluent Kodak
Add a stock by code and LoaderLog already knows its can color — dashboards and PDFs read at a glance, just like the shelf. Shooting something exotic? Pick any color.
Pricing
A show's inventory is not the place for a subscription. Solo is free forever — cloud sync and backup included, because losing a show's counts is not an acceptable failure mode. Pay once per production only when you add your team.
One loader, the whole app.
The whole camera department, one count.
When the show wraps, you stop paying — because you already did. Same deal as our sibling apps CamLog and GearIO.
Questions from the darkroom
Keep it! LoaderLog exports every report and the full ledger as CSV, any time, even offline — so trying it costs you nothing and leaving is one tap. The difference is the fold: your spreadsheet doesn't decrement a can when you type a report, bank the shortend, warn you the roll number skips, or print the EOD sheet.
No — by design. The end-of-day PDF shows aggregate totals and today's activity only. The itemized list of what's actually on your shelf is structurally impossible to put on a production-facing export. What's in the changing tent stays in the changing tent.
Everything works. Reports save to your device instantly, the counts fold locally, and the PDF still exports. When you're back in coverage the queue syncs in the background — and if two offline devices claimed the same roll number, LoaderLog flags it the moment they meet.
Yes — cloud sync and backup are free, not a paid add-on. Re-keying a show's inventory from paper report scans is a nightmare we refuse to be the cause of. Your ledger lives in the cloud from the first report, and the CSV export means you always hold your own copy too.
Fix it honestly. Corrections never overwrite history — the original is voided, the fix is re-entered, and the next export carries a REVISED footnote naming the affected rolls. Production sees corrected figures and knows they're corrected. No mystery math.
Stocks are whatever you say they are — 7219, recans, short-pitch, that one mystery can from the fridge. Any can size, any code, any color. The fold doesn't care what the film is, only where every foot of it went.
Set up your production in two minutes. First report in three.
