MindfulShot - Limit your SD card, make every shot count.

Limit your SD card to 12, 24, or 36 shots — just like analog.

It will make you shoot more intentionally.

A tiny Mac app to increase your keeper rate instantly.

Why shoot less?

Because less is more.

Ever spent hours picking the best shot from a hundred near-identical ones?

Shooting without limits feels great — until you’re buried in thousands of photos, only to keep a few.

Shooting with intention changes that.

Fewer frames. Higher keeper rate. Instantly.

Slow down. Shoot better.

When you know you’ve only got 24 shots, everything changes.

You move around more. You adjust your settings. You reframe. You wait.

You start noticing small things — light on a wall, a quiet gesture, a clean background. You stop firing just in case.

You press the shutter ***when it feels right.***

Shooting less doesn’t just improve what you keep.

It improves what you see.

How does it work?

1. Plug in your SD Card.
2. Enter your image size.
3. Pick how many shots you want — (Between 1 - 49)
4. The app sets your card to hold exactly that many photos
5. Pop it back in your camera — and take mindful shots, not just snapshots.

A tiny app that just works

No subscriptions. No accounts. No ads.

Just a simple app you download and use — forever.

Built by a photographer, for photographers.

You don’t have to buy this — but you do have to try it.

You don’t have to use this app — just promise yourself to shoot only 12, 24, or 36 frames.

Just once. You’ll feel the difference.

That’s my biggest advice — from one photographer to another.

My own experience shooting with a limit was surprisingly fun. If you’ve never touched a film camera (like me), this is still a beautiful way to feel what that’s like.

It definitely raised my keeper rate — by a lot.

Please Note

• Shoot RAW for best accuracy — RAW files have consistent sizes, making the exposure count more predictable.
• JPEG is compressed, so file sizes vary — which may lead to under- or over-shooting your estimated roll.
• Exposure count is an estimate. Depending on your camera and how it writes data, you might get 1–2 more or fewer shots.
• This app will erase your SD card. Make sure to back up any photos before creating a roll.
• You can always go back to full capacity by clicking on "Restore to Full Capacity"
