Remote Shutter: camera connect13.1.3 - App Store

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.

FULL MAC SUPPORT

Version History Manual exposure: set shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation from the remote.
Multicam: connect up to four cameras and fire them all with one synced shutter. 13.1.3 Sep 27 FIXED — "Send Media to Remote" works again

- With the setting off on the remote, photos and videos stay on the camera only. The remote no longer keeps a duplicate copy
- With it on, everything still arrives on the remote as before

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
