Scatto for Pixelfed

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.

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.
