## What is Remote Shutter?

Turn any two devices into a wireless remote camera system — no internet, no router, no account needed. Just connect and shoot.

Remote Shutter uses peer-to-peer technology to link two devices directly. One becomes the camera, the other becomes your remote control with a live monitor. Perfect for group photos, selfies, tripod shots, creative angles, and hands-free photography.

NEW — FULL MAC SUPPORT
- Use your Mac as the camera: built-in, USB and pro webcams, even your iPhone via Continuity Camera
- Switch between every camera connected to your Mac, live from your iPhone
- Or flip it: use your Mac's big screen as a director's monitor for your iPhone camera

FEATURES
- Control your camera from your Apple Watch — trigger the shutter from your wrist
- Selfies and group shots on the sharp rear camera — frame yourself from the remote's live preview
- Wireless remote shutter from up to 50 feet away
- Live camera preview on your remote device
- Switch cameras remotely — front/back on iPhone, any connected camera on Mac
- Camera flash control
- Adjustable photo timer
- Record video remotely
- Works with iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- No internet or Wi-Fi network required — direct device-to-device connection (just keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on)

HOW TO USE
1. Open Remote Shutter on two devices
2. Devices connect automatically via peer-to-peer
3. Choose which device is the camera and which is the remote
4. Start shooting from anywhere in the room!

Whether you're shooting products with a pro camera on your Mac, directing from the big screen, or setting up a family photo, Remote Shutter gives you full wireless control of your camera from another device.

### 5/5 — So many changes!

*2026-08-11*

Since my last review on this app, which was less than positive, the newest version fixes every issue I initially had. I will be spending more time into a deep dive, but so far, everything seems to working correctly. I even got a message from the developer(s) about the changes. That is customer support done right.

**Developer response:** Thank you for coming back and updating your review — feedback like your original one is what drove the connection-layer rebuild, so "fixes every issue I initially had" is the best thing a developer can read. Enjoy the deep dive: if anything still feels rough, email me and it goes straight on the list. And keep an eye out — a big update is in the works this month.

### 3/5 — Ha del potenziale

*2026-03-10, version 5.2.3*

Ha del potenziale ma tra gli obietti anche se c’è scritto “2X” in realtà utilizza il 5X. Inoltre non si può cambiare il formato, scatta sempre in 9:16, come mai?

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-02-23*

Had hopes it would be good and it seem like it at first but very time I connect my devices and chose a role one of them crashes

**Developer response:** Update from the developer: the exact crash you hit — right after choosing a role — was found and fixed in version 7.0. Connection handling was rebuilt again in 8.x and it's now the most stable the app has ever been. I'd be grateful if you gave it one more try with the current version; if it misbehaves at all, email me and I'll dig into it personally.

### 3/5 — A few suggestions

*2026-02-23*

I’ve been able to use this app with great success. However, it would be nice if I could connect more than one camera.

**Developer response:** Thank you — glad it's working well for you. You'll like this: connecting more than one camera is actively being prototyped right now. No promised date yet, but it's real. Email me if you'd like to hear when it's ready to test.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-02-03, version 4.13*

Absolutely worthless and a waste of my time . “ Error unable to connect” the usual response. It connected once successfully but then crashed.

### 5/5 — Remote camera

*2025-12-28*

I really like the concept and the fact that it actually does work, but it doesn’t always work so it sometimes it has a real hard time connecting to the other phone to Bluetooth and I cannot figure out why.  However, if you just keep on doing it over and over and over, it eventually does and it does work. Cool app thank you.

**Developer response:** Hi !! Thank you for your feedback!  

I found that if you turn off Bluetooth and keep WiFi on the succeed rate is much higher, please give it a go! I’ll add something in the UI to hint at that

### 5/5 — Simple, clean, and useful in many situations.

*2025-12-03, version 4.13*

This is a beautiful implementation of a very useful function.  Apple should reward these people and add the capability to their suite

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2025-11-08, version 4.13*

Ich habe es nicht zum Laufen gebracht. Kompliziertes Freigeben und erlauben immer wieder.
Gelöscht und Fertig

### 5/5 — Remote shutter

*2025-08-09, version 4.12*

Brilliant

### 5/5 — Ideal para fotos creativas!!

*2025-07-18, version 4.4*

La conexión entre dispositivos es instantánea. Es el compañero ideal para fotos creativas a distancia 😆🙏

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 10.0.3 — 2026-08-21

NEW — Multicam: up to four cameras, one director

- Connect up to four iPhones as cameras and see every angle live in a grid
- One synced shutter fires photos or video on every camera at the same instant
- Footage collects automatically to the director, time-aligned for editing

The remote is redesigned around the viewfinder: the picture first, the controls out of its way.

- Full-screen live preview: the shot now fills the display with the controls floating over it, instead of a small picture squeezed above a panel of buttons
- Landscape support: turn the remote sideways and the image takes over almost the entire screen
- A tidier layout: self-timer, aspect ratio and quality moved into a panel one tap away, each showing its current setting at a glance
- Clear connection status: a quiet indicator confirms the picture is live, and says so the moment the feed stalls
- Nothing covers your shot: capture progress now appears on the shutter button instead of a pop-up over the frame you are composing
- Camera standby: the device acting as the camera can rest its own screen during long shoots while it keeps streaming and shooting

Recently added:

- Stormo QUIC P2P engine: the device-to-device link rebuilt on QUIC, the transport behind HTTP/3, encrypted with TLS 1.3 and still direct device to device, with no router or network needed
- Please update Remote Shutter on both devices. Older versions can't pair with this one
- Tap to Focus: tap the live preview to set focus and exposure exactly where you want it, included with Pro
- Real-time video: a smooth live feed replaces still snapshots, so framing every shot is effortless
- Gear Store: browse tripods, mounts, and accessories picked for your camera setup
- Reliability and performance improvements throughout
