No image content analysis / On-device metadata processing only
We don't look at your photos.
We don't look at your photos.
We reveal how you shoot.
Capture time, location, camera, and lens. ShutterDNA is a self-discovery app that uses EXIF metadata—not what appears in your photos—to reveal your photography habits, the places that hold your memories, and the rhythm of your life.
- No face recognition
- No object recognition
- No image uploads
Stays on your device
All metadata analysis happens on your device. Your images are never uploaded.
We don't look at your photos
People, faces, scenery, and objects: none of the content in your photos is analyzed.
Locations are abstracted
We don't show coordinates or street addresses—only generalized place labels.
Screens
Your photography DNA, brought to life.
From profiles and maps to insights and onboarding, every screen reflects a design that never analyzes photo content.
Features
Turn shooting data into self-discovery.
ShutterDNA isn't a photo organizer. It's a way to reflect on the act of taking photos itself. Even without granting photo access, you can explore the main screens using sample metadata.
Memory Gravity Map
See where you shoot most through generalized place labels—never coordinates or precise addresses.
Rhythm-of-life insights
Find the rhythm of your days through shooting times, monthly patterns, and camera and lens usage.
The same light as that day
Metadata from the same season and time of day surfaces shooting moments that can spark a memory.
Shareable profile cards
Share only a profile panel and privacy-safe text—without coordinates or precise addresses.
Designed for on-device processing
Photo images, thumbnails, and face data are not stored. No account or cloud sync is required.
Privacy by Design
Designed not to look at your photos.
At the heart of ShutterDNA is privacy-preserving metadata analysis, not image analysis.
We don't identify people, faces, food, scenery, objects, or anything else shown in a photo.
We don't store photo images, thumbnails, face data, or object-recognition results.
Share cards don't directly display coordinates, street numbers, building names, or other precise details.
How it works
From setup to your profile in four steps.
-
Choose access
Using your OS's photo permissions, ShutterDNA only handles the photos you allow.
-
Read metadata
Only available values such as capture time, location, camera, and lens are used.
-
Reveal patterns
Time, place, camera patterns, and yearly highlights are aggregated on your device.
-
Share safely
Share your photography DNA with a profile card that contains no precise address.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos ever uploaded?
No. ShutterDNA only handles metadata such as capture time, location, and camera information, and all analysis happens on your device. Photo images and thumbnails are never sent outside the device.
How is location data handled?
Precise details such as coordinates and street numbers are not displayed directly. They are converted into generalized labels such as “Near the sea” or “Around your usual neighborhood.” Share cards contain no precise location data.
Can I use the app without granting photo access?
Yes. You can explore core screens such as your profile, map, and insights using sample metadata. If you like the experience, you can choose what to allow later.
When will the Android version be released?
It is currently in development and coming soon. For now, ShutterDNA is available for iOS on the App Store.
