Next time you’re in San Francisco with your iPhone taking pictures of the monuments, try Time Shutter for a blast in the past.

It offers 246 shots of the City by the Bay snapped 100 years ago. Thanks to a geo-coded map, you can find the points of interest on a walking tour and see how things have changed.

Time Shutter offers mobile saudade with an interactive twist – you can reshoot the monuments with your iPhone for your own then-vs.-now album.

Time Shutter costs $1.99, but you can download a preview. The website also offers a fantastic map that lets you overlay old and new.

New York City is up next (October – but you can preview the pics on the site) and Paris, London and Chicago are in the works.
