shootShifter
shootShifter is a Mac photo and video utility for sorting media by time, correcting timestamps, geotagging files, and renaming them in batches.
What is shootShifter?
shootShifter is a native Mac app for organizing photo and video files when their dates, times, locations, or filenames need correction. It helps photographers, archivists, and anyone merging media from multiple cameras or folders put items back into the right chronological order. The app provides timeline and grid-based browsing, lets you adjust timestamps for single files or whole folders, and supports batch renaming with customizable naming templates. It also includes map-based geotagging tools so you can correct existing locations or add location data to photos. shootShifter is useful for workflows such as fixing unsynchronized camera clocks, cleaning up scanned image metadata, and preparing media libraries before import into other photo-management tools. Maczentrisch offers it for macOS 11 or later.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
shootShifter is a legitimate Mac photo workflow app used to edit metadata such as capture times, filenames, and photo locations. Access to your photos and videos is normal for its purpose, and location editing is expected when you use its geotagging features. Changes to metadata and filenames can affect how media is organized in other apps, so it is wise to work on copies or keep a backup before large batch edits.
Recommendation: Keep shootShifter if you use it to fix timestamps, geotag photos, or rename media in bulk. If you no longer manage photo or video libraries this way, you can remove the app, but keep any media backups you still rely on before making large changes elsewhere.
