The critique
Every photo, scored out of ten.
Send your coach any photo. Seconds later: five scores — aesthetics, composition, lighting, sharpness, color balance — each scored on a ten-point scale. Most photos land between 4 and 7. A 9 is rare, so it actually means something.
Four evaluation modes — Technical, Social, Artistic, Practical — and three feedback depths. Powered by Google Gemini, typically in 3–10 seconds.
The feedback
A coach, not a compliment machine.
Numbers tell you where you stand. The written critique tells you what to do about it — specific to the photo, lighting, and framing. Save the analyses you want to learn from.
AI critique — from a real analysis
“The vibrant red of the car is the clear focal point… The composition, while straightforward, places the car prominently within the frame. To elevate the artistic merit, consider a more evocative lighting scenario that might suggest a narrative beyond a static portrait.”
The training
Thirty challenges. Five skills. One habit.
A path of thirty challenges climbs from Basics to Master, and your coach checks every submission. Each challenge adds XP to the skill it builds — so your progress map and skill profile grow together.

Every day
A daily challenge keeps you practicing intentionally.
Today’s Challenge gives you a reason to look harder at ordinary scenes — then rewards the attempt with XP and a growing rank, from Beginner to Master.
Ranks: Beginner · Hobbyist · Skilled · Pro · Elite · Master.
Today’s Challenge
Golden hour — the first hour after sunrise or before sunset — transforms ordinary scenes with warm, directional light. It’s the single biggest upgrade you can make to your photos.

Post the right one, every time.
You took six nearly identical shots. Shot Selector scores them all, picks the strongest shot, and shows the sub-scores to prove it — so you can clean up the rest.
Part of Pro, with 200 analyses a day.
The kit
For the photos already in your library.
AI critique uses cloud processing only when needed. The housekeeping is strictly local — these tools run entirely on your iPhone.
Swipe to sort On-device
Full-screen photos, three gestures: keep, delete, favorite. Clear a messy camera roll quickly.
Duplicates, grouped On-device
Perceptual matching groups bursts and near-duplicates so you keep one great frame instead of nine almost-identical shots.
Video, distilled On-device
Scrub any clip frame by frame and export stills — or let PickEpic surface the best frame on its own.
Reference Overlay Camera
Overlay any reference photo over your live viewfinder to match framing and recreate a shot precisely.
Privacy
Your library stays yours.
Sorting, cleanup, and video tools never leave your iPhone. Only the photos you explicitly send for critique go to the AI — reduced in size before analysis, analyzed, and not stored. No account to create, no ads, no tracking.
- Organizing tools run on-device
- Critique only with your consent
- Photos never stored on servers
- No ads, no tracking
- No third-party analytics
- Anonymous by default
