Picture Dex
Coming soon · iPhone

Catch the world around you.

Spot something (a pigeon, a stray cat, a beetle) and aim your phone. Picture Dex tells you what it is, drops a fact you'll actually repeat later, and peels it into a sticker that's yours to keep.

How it works

Four taps from a glance to a keeper.

The whole loop takes seconds. Here's each beat, slowed down.

Point

See something? Point at it.

A pigeon on the wire, a beetle on the path, the neighbourhood cat. If it's alive and in front of you, Picture Dex is already looking.

Identify

Get its name and the good story.

Not just “pigeon.” Rock Dove: a navigator that can find its way home from a thousand miles out, secretly iridescent in the sun.

Rock Dove #001

Homing champion. Navigates back across 1,000+ miles.

Sticker

Keep it as a sticker.

Picture Dex lifts it clean off its background (no green screen, no fuss) into a die-cut sticker that's yours to keep and share.

Collect

Fill your dex.

Every catch lands on your wall. Watch the gaps close, chase the rare ones, and turn an ordinary walk into a quiet little hunt.

The good part

Every catch becomes a sticker.

Clean die-cut, background gone, ready to keep, trade, and plaster across every group chat. This is the part people can't stop sharing.

Who it's for

Pick the one that's you.

Same app, three very different reasons to open it. You'll know yours on sight.

  • A seven-spot ladybird
    The Completionist

    You need the whole set.

    An empty slot is a personal affront. Picture Dex turns an ordinary walk into a hunt. Chase the rare ones, keep the streak alive, and watch your dex fill up.

    • Daily streaks

  • A mallard duck
    The Family

    Hand it to the kid.

    A puddle full of ducks becomes a whole morning. Point, name it, keep the sticker, and a six-year-old quietly learns the name of everything that hops, swims, and scuttles.

    The Curious

    You just want to know.

    Wren or warbler? No idea yet. Point at it, learn one genuinely good fact, move on. No field guide, no jargon, no surprise Latin quiz.

    • One great fact
    • Zero jargon

Step outside

What will you discover?

Free when it launches. Point it at the first thing you see and watch slot #001 fill in.
