What's New in Sync Shutter
3.0
September 2, 2026
Backups now tell you when something didn't arrive. If a backup couldn't reach one of your destinations it no longer reports itself as complete — the destination that failed is named, so you know what's missing. If Sync Shutter isn't allowed to read a card, it says so instead of quietly reporting there was nothing to back up. Destination folders the app can't write to are flagged in Settings, with a prompt to choose the folder again to grant access. The photo selection grid has been rebuilt. Photos no longer overlap each other — each sits on its own tile with a clear border — and you can switch between small, medium and large thumbnails, which are sharper at every size. The Pro page has been redesigned with pricing up front and features grouped by what they do, and it now scrolls properly; previously the purchase button could be cut off and unreachable. Destination paths in Settings are shortened instead of overflowing their row.
