FreeShutterCounter
FreeShutterCounter is a photography utility that tracks and displays the shutter count for digital cameras, helping photographers monitor the mechanical wear on their camera bodies. Shutter count is a critical statistic for understanding a camera's remaining lifespan, as shutters have rated durability (often 100,000 to 400,000+ actuations depending on the camera model). The app allows photographers to log and manage this data across multiple camera bodies, making it useful for freelancers, studios and anyone buying or selling used camera equipment.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about whether FreeShutterCounter has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The developer's site and update history are not readily available in public sources. If you rely on this app, we recommend contacting the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to know sooner rather than later whether this app has a path forward — an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release. As an alternative, many photographers use web-based tools or your camera manufacturer's own shutter-count utilities (Canon, Nikon, Sony, and others provide these for their equipment), which do not depend on a native app and will continue to work across all future macOS versions.
