Zensō is on the App Store, a better remote control + image-transfer app for all Nikon Z cameras

I'm the developer of Zensō, an iOS app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a second screen for Nikon Z cameras. It's now available on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6776183152

What it does:

  • Remote shooting with live view — exposure, focus, and white balance without touching the body
  • Stable background connection with your camera
  • New shots transfer to your device automatically as you take them
  • Browse the camera's cards and download only the files you want
  • Writes your device's GPS into each photo, so outdoor and travel sets keep their location
  • Connection, transfer, battery, and camera status at a glance, including on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island via Live Activities

Plenty of apps stop at being a live-view monitor.
Zensō starts there and keeps going, remote control, automatic image transfer, full gallery browsing and downloading, GPS syncing, background status on the Lock Screen.
A monitor shows you the frame, but this manages the whole shoot around it.

Compatibility: works with Nikon Z-mount cameras, ZR, Z9, Z8, Zf, Z6 III / Z6 II / Z6, Z7 II / Z7, Z5 II / Z5, Z50 II / Z50, Zfc, Z30.

Pricing: everyone gets a 5-day free trial, then it's a one-time purchase of USD 9.99. No subscription.

Coming next: USB connection lands in the next update, for a faster and more stable wired workflow.

The TestFlight build will stop working on July 10. Once the beta expires it can no longer be used, so please install the App Store version before then to avoid losing access.

Happy to answer anything, and I'd really value feedback from people shooting with Z mirrorless, bugs and feature requests included.

I Built the Nikon Remote Control App I Wish Existed

I've been shooting with Nikon mirrorless cameras for years, and one thing always bothered me:

I never felt comfortable with the existing mobile workflow.

Connecting the camera, transferring photos, checking shooting status, syncing GPS data — everything worked, but never quite the way I wanted.

So over the past few months, I've been building my own solution.

It's called Zensō, a remote shooting and photo management app designed specifically for Nikon cameras.

Unlike many camera companion apps, Zensō focuses on the entire workflow, from connecting and shooting to receiving and managing your photos.

Features include:

  • Fast local network discovery and connection
  • Remote Live View and camera control with pro tools
  • Automatic photo transfer
  • Camera gallery browsing and downloads
  • GPS location sync
  • Dynamic Island and Live Activities support

Zensō supports both newer EXPEED 7 cameras and older EXPEED 6 models wirelessly, helping bring modern remote shooting and photo management features to a wider range of Nikon mirrorless.

I recently finished a new demo video showing how it works.

I'd love to hear feedback from other Nikon shooters.
