RemoteSnap is the first app I downloaded from the Mac App Store as I managed to go past the “Error 100” the store was returning minutes after its launch. RemoteSnap has one and only purpose: it acts a server on your Mac capable of receiving photos from your iPhone and iPod touch wirelessly, as you take them. RemoteSnap for Mac is available for free here.
To use the Mac app, though, you’ll need to download the iOS counterpart. RemoteSnap for iOS is available in the App Store for free or at $0.99. The free version will apply a watermark to your photos. Once you download and run the app on your Mac (you just have to click on the icon that will jump from the Mac App Store to your dock), start the app on your iPhone and wait as it connects to the Mac’s server. It should take less than 2 seconds. After that, you’ll see a camera interface saying “connected to *computer name*” in the upper left corner. Once you’re connected and you’ve chosen the destination folder for photos on your computer, you can start snapping pictures. Within seconds, they’ll be transferred onto your Mac via WiFi. No passwords or manual copy needed.
RemoteSnap is that kind of simple utility that we’re sure we’ll do very well in the Mac App Store. It’s not an app for the most sophisticated photographers, but it can come in handy for when you need some pictures to quickly end up on your Mac. Go download RemoteSnap on the Mac App Store here.
