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 (experimental, off by default) • 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

2.8.0

September 3, 2026

PRIVATE MESSAGES Your Pixelfed account has always had a message inbox. Scatto can now open it. • An inbox, plus a separate Requests tab for people you don't follow — so a first message from a stranger never lands in the middle of your conversations. • Send text and photos. Delete your own messages, mute a conversation, and block or report the other person from inside the thread. • Start one from a search, or from the Message button on someone's profile. • Unread conversations are marked, and Messages sits beside the bell. Off by default — switch it on in Settings ▸ Experimental. WHAT MESSAGES ARE, AND ARE NOT • They are not end-to-end encrypted. They live on your instance, and whoever runs it can read them. That is how Pixelfed messages work everywhere; Scatto says it in the conversation instead of leaving you to assume otherwise. • One to one only. Pixelfed has no group threads, so neither does Scatto. • Whether a message rings depends on your server. Instances that support message pushes will notify you; on the rest, Scatto picks messages up when you open it. A message filed as a request stays silent by the server's own rule. THE LAYOUT SWITCH MOVED Single column or grid now lives in Settings ▸ General, between Theme and Menu position — a choice you make once rather than a button you carry everywhere. Its old toolbar slot holds Messages.t messages
