ShutterMap brings location recording, daily tracks, and photo geotagging together for your travels and photography. RECORD AND REVIEW Choose low-power, scheduled, or continuous recording. Browse daily tracks on Apple Maps and inspect the time of each point. Manually update your location and GPX when needed. MATCH PHOTOS AND VIDEOS Match capture times to recorded or imported locations. Adjust camera time and the matching range. Select media from Apple Photos or Files, update locations, and optionally add creator, email, website, and copyright information. Update supported items or export copies while keeping the originals. MANAGE GPX Import and share standard GPX files. Organize output as one file or by day, week, or month. Keep locations on your device and optionally sync through your own iCloud account. TRY BEFORE YOU BUY Enjoy a 14-day full-feature trial with no automatic charge when it ends. Full Access is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Previous purchases can be restored using the same Apple Account. HOW UPDATES WORK Updating only the Photos-library location leaves the original image data unchanged. Writing other information may require a same-format replacement and a system confirmation to delete the original item. People recognition, Memories, and previous edit history cannot be transferred to the new library item. Handling depends on format and source. File-based RAW uses a same-named XMP sidecar; RAW in Photos receives only a library-location update. RAW originals remain unchanged. Background recording requires location permission. Timing depends on system scheduling, device conditions, and your surroundings. Force-quitting the app may stop recording until it is reopened.
