About

Scatto is a fast, native iOS client for Pixelfed — the photo-sharing network built on the open fediverse (ActivityPub). A decentralized alternative to the big media platforms: your photos, your feed, in your hands. Built for speed: browse your home, local, and global timelines with smooth scrolling and edge-to-edge photos. Share photos with your loved ones or with fellow photo enthusiasts — either way, you own your content. Scatto is free and open source. New to Pixelfed? Create a free account on any Pixelfed server — for example scatto.social or pixelfed.social or one of the many other instances — and sign right in. FEATURES • Fast, clean photo uploads — capture or pick from your library • Post video, converted on device so it plays everywhere • Crop and filter your photos before you post — including fun filters like Lo-Fi and 16-color (experimental) • Your post appears instantly while it uploads in the background • Home, local, and global timelines • Like, comment, boost, and bookmark • Follow people and manage your profile • Push notifications for likes, comments, follows, and boosts, on servers that support them • Stories (experimental, off by default) — share a moment that lasts 24 hours • Direct Messages (off by default) • Collections — browse and fill your Pixelfed collections, and drop a post into one while you write it; new collections are created on your server's website • Report, block, and mute — keep your feed yours • Home Screen widgets — the latest photos from your timeline, a QR code that opens your profile • Share extension — post to Pixelfed from other apps • Multiple accounts • Tag the place — nearby cities suggested from your photo, matched on your device • Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, and Basque ABOUT PUSH NOTIFICATIONS Push needs an interface that most Pixelfed servers, including pixelfed.social, don't provide yet. If your server is one of them, Scatto tells you so in Settings — you'll still see every like, comment and follow inside the app, and the icon badge keeps updating in the background, but nothing will arrive while Scatto is closed. Scatto works with any Pixelfed instance. It's open source and doesn't track you. Scatto is an independent app and is not affiliated with Pixelfed.

What's New in Scatto for Pixelfed

2.9.5

September 15, 2026

SHARE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS INTO SCATTO Share a video from Photos or any other app. Scatto converts it on your device and posts it like any other clip, up to 90 seconds. Editing a shared photo no longer closes Scatto. Crop or filter it, tap Save, and your post is still there. Nearby places are suggested again when you share a photo in — read from the photo's own location and matched against a list held on your device. With more than one account signed in, Scatto asks which one a shared post is for before the composer opens, with the account it would have chosen already ticked. SHOW ONLY WHAT IS NEW Notifications can be narrowed to what has arrived since you last read the list. The switch above it is remembered, so the list opens that way next time. BACK TO THE TOP IN ONE TAP A long way down your timeline, an arrow appears in the corner. Tap it to return to the newest post. It steps aside a couple of seconds after you stop scrolling, and comes back the moment you start again. CROP TO A SHAPE AND KEEP IT Pick 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 and the crop holds that shape while you drag its corners, with the chosen button marked so you can see which is on. Free is still the default. A NOTIFICATION FOR ANOTHER ACCOUNT With more than one account signed in, tapping a notification meant for a different one used to open it under the account you were already using — showing an error, or a real profile carrying the wrong account's history. Scatto now asks whether to switch, and takes you to what the notification was about. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • "Tag people" lists everyone you follow, instead of stopping after the first few. • A comment shows its like count without being tapped — filled and red when the like is yours. • Several screens deep — a conversation, or a profile you reached through a list — a house button beside the back arrow takes you back to the top of that section in one tap. • A post's photos wrap around: swipe past the last one to come back to the first. • Tapping the picture on a profile opens it full screen, and you can pinch to zoom. • The photo editor and the compose screen are faster and use less memory. • Alt text stays put, describe a photo and then crop or filter it, and the description is still there. Writing one while the photo is still uploading keeps it too. • iPad: make better use of screen estate, especially in landscape view
