freeshuttercounter
freeshuttercounter is a photography utility app for macOS that reads shutter count data from digital cameras, particularly DSLR and mirrorless models. It allows photographers to monitor the total number of shutter actuations on their camera, which helps estimate remaining sensor life and informs decisions about maintenance, servicing or replacement. The app is designed for enthusiasts, professional photographers and anyone concerned about tracking their camera's mechanical wear over time.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not locate recent information about freeshuttercounter's native Apple Silicon support status. Given that we are now 27 months away from the September 2028 macOS 28 release when Rosetta 2 will be removed, it is important to clarify the app's future before that deadline. If the app is still actively maintained, contact the developer directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. If you rely on freeshuttercounter regularly, check the developer's website or contact them through the app's support channels to understand their macOS 28 readiness roadmap. As an interim step, explore whether your camera manufacturer offers native Mac software for reading shutter counts — Canon, Nikon and Sony all provide their own utilities that may already be optimised for Apple Silicon.
