Sync Shutter vs ShutterFlow

Sync Shutter backs up your camera card the moment you insert it. On a Mac, plug in the card and walk away: photos and videos are copied to every destination you chose, with nothing to click. On iPhone or iPad, plug in a card reader and import in one tap. It was built for photographers who come home with several cards and cannot afford to lose one. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU INSERT A CARD • The card is detected and the backup starts on its own. Progress lives in the menu bar; a notification tells you when it is done. • Only new files are copied. Already-backed-up shots are recognized and skipped, so the second run after a shoot takes seconds. • Every file can be verified byte for byte after copying. • Files can be sorted into date folders taken from the photo's own capture date. • Cards that do not use a DCIM folder — video-first layouts from Sony, Panasonic and Canon bodies — are recognized too, and any card can be copied whole from the menu bar. • No internet where you're shooting? The card is still safe. Sync Shutter keeps its own copy and sends it to your cloud destinations on its own the moment you are back online. • A backup that cannot reach one of your destinations says so and names it. It never calls itself complete when something is missing. WHERE THE FILES GO Send one card to several places at once: a local folder or external drive, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Photos, the Lightroom auto-import folder, or the Photos library. Turn on as many as you like; each card is copied to all of them in a single pass. CHOOSE WHAT COMES OFF THE CARD Turn on a review step and a grid of thumbnails appears before anything is copied, so you can leave the test frames behind. SYNC SHUTTER PRO — ONE PURCHASE FOR MAC, IPHONE AND IPAD • Back up to a NAS or server: any S3-compatible storage (Synology, Backblaze B2, MinIO, Amazon S3), or SFTP over SSH on the Mac. • Cold storage: Amazon S3 Glacier and Deep Archive storage classes, chosen per destination, for an archive that costs cents a month. • RAW+JPEG pairs: keep both, RAW only, or JPEG only. • Import date filters: only today's shoot, the last few days, or everything since a date. • Custom file naming from the capture date, a counter and the original name. • Per-card rules on the Mac: route each card to its own destinations. • Auto-delete from the card after every destination has confirmed the copy, and low-storage alerts before a backup would fill the disk. Pro is a single purchase, not a subscription. IPHONE AND IPAD Plug in a USB-C or Lightning card reader, open Sync Shutter, and pick the card. Photos go to your Photos library, a folder in Files, your cloud drives, or an S3 NAS. A Live Activity follows the import and a widget shows your totals. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no servers of ours in the path. Files go straight from the card to the destinations you chose. The only thing the app ever sends home is an anonymous count of backups and errors, so that problems get fixed; it is never linked to you. Works with any card your Mac or card reader can mount: SD, microSD, CFexpress, CFast, XQD.

ShutterFlow is a fast, focused file transfer tool built for photographers and videographers. Copy or move photos and videos from SD cards, cameras, or any folder to your external drives, NAS, or device storage — with smart organization, duplicate detection, and checksum verification. INGEST FROM ANYWHERE Select one or multiple source folders, SD cards, or camera volumes. On Mac, removable drives are detected automatically. On iPad, connect external storage via USB-C and pick your source with the native file browser. COPY TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS Send files to several locations in a single operation. Each destination can have its own file type filter (Images, Videos, RAW, or All) and date filter, so the right files go to the right place every time. SAVE TO DEVICE Use your iPhone or iPad as a portable backup hub. Copy files to on-device storage, then offload to an external drive later — perfect for shoots in the field when your main drive isn't available. SMART FILE ORGANIZATION Choose how your files are organized at the destination: • Keep Original Structure — preserves your source folder layout • Creation Date — auto-sorts into YYYY-MM-DD folders based on file dates • Ingest Date — groups everything by today's date FLEXIBLE FILE NAMING Rename files during transfer with six built-in naming conventions, or create your own custom template with date, time, sequential counter, prefix, and separator options. DUPLICATE DETECTION Files are compared by name and size. Re-run the same ingest anytime — ShutterFlow skips what's already there. Choose to skip, overwrite, or overwrite only if newer. COPY OR MOVE Two side-by-side buttons for every operation. Copy keeps your originals. Move deletes source files after a successful transfer — useful for clearing SD cards or offloading from device storage. PAUSE, RESUME, CANCEL Full control over active transfers. Pause mid-copy and resume right where you left off, or cancel safely at any point. TRANSFER HISTORY Every session is recorded with source, destination, file list, and timestamps. Rerun any past session with one tap. SUPPORTED FILE TYPES • Images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, BMP, GIF, WebP • Videos: MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI, MKV, MTS, M2TS, and more • RAW: CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, ORF, RW2, DNG, RAF, SRW, PEF PRO FEATURES (yearly subscription): • Workflows — save multi-destination presets and run complex ingestions with one tap • Checksum Verification — MD5 hash comparison after every file copy to guarantee integrity • Auto-Offload — automatically copies files from device storage to your external drive when it becomes available • Custom Naming Templates — build your own file naming patterns with prefix, date, time, counter, and more • Offline Queuing — queue destinations that are temporarily unavailable and sync later ShutterFlow is a universal app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
