Pickety app icon: a white photo card with a heart and a gold sparkle on a coral-to-orange background

Persnickety about your photos, so you don't have to be.

Pickety finds your trip, picks the best shots, drops the look-alikes and writes the caption. All on your iPhone. Then it hands the post to Instagram, RedNote, Pinterest or any app.

Common questions

My trips are missing.

Trips are found from photos that have a location. Turn on Location for the Camera app, or use "Jump back in" to start from a time instead.

Captions say "Simple captions".

Smart captions need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence turned on (Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri). Without it, Pickety writes simple captions that you can edit.

What does the free post cover?

Your first finished post is free. After that there is one payment, no subscription. It works with Family Sharing.

Restore a purchase.

Tap the gear on the Create or Posts tab, then Restore purchase.

Where are my saved posts?

On your iPhone only. If you delete the app, they are deleted too.

Posting to Instagram with more than 8 photos.
