Change it your wayReplace a shared photo everywhere it is linked, or detach one location and give it an independent photo.

Safer restore and deletioniCloud restore now preserves your complete appearance and alert configuration, while deletion keeps a shared photo whenever another location still uses it.

The story behind PinPic

Why does this app exist?

I had a specific need for an image to immediately show on my screen so that it could be scanned at an entry gate to allow me access. Sure, I could have dug for and found the image in question by going into Photos, navigating to the Album it was contained in and then making it full screen, but that’s a lot of steps, day-in, day-out.

So this app was born. An easy, straightforward way to display an image or a selected page from a PDF based on my physical location in that moment to more quickly and easily display my credential and allow me access. Very simple, but that’s the beauty of it… and it does not require a Nexus account, contains no advertising, and includes no third-party analytics or cross-app tracking to do what it does.

That original gate-pass problem is only the beginning. The same simple idea can put a loyalty card, travel reference, property instruction, worksite checklist, meaningful memory, and more within easy reach at the place it matters. Explore the many ways PinPic can fit into everyday routines and professional workflows.
