A workflow that keeps developing

The first roll.
And what comes next.

The order we plan to work in. These are plans, not promises: image quality and the safety of your files come before any date.

Public Beta · October 9, 2026

The complete local workflow.

Capture, conversion, editing, dust healing, organizing and export: everything on the features page. Fix updates (0.9.x) about once a week.

1.0 · November 17, 2026

Learning the app.

A sample roll to practice on, more short lessons, clearer error messages, a fuller manual, and What’s New after each update. (The beta already has first-time tips and tooltips.)
