Your photo desk fits in your pocket.

Import, cull, caption, and send — straight from the field. No laptop. No app-hopping.

Pull just the frames you want off your SD card, rate and pick fast, caption a whole take with one voice memo, and deliver to FTP, email, or your editor in a single send.

  • Leave the laptopDo the whole filing job on the iPhone already in your bag.
  • One app, not fiveCamera roll, notes, IPTC editor, and FTP client in one place.
  • File fasterDeliver before you leave the venue, not back at the hotel.
Built for photographers who deliver on a deadline.

Weddings, events, sports, press, and photojournalism. If you shoot in the field and someone is waiting on the files, this is for you.

iPhone only · iOS 26 · works on the SD cards and cameras you already carry.

№ 01 The workflow

From card to client without opening a laptop.

The whole job — import, cull, caption, send — runs on one device, in the order you already work. Four steps, no desk required.

01

Import only the keepers

Pull photos straight off your SD card or a folder. Bring in only the rated or flagged frames, so the rest never clog your phone.

02

Cull at speed

Rate, flag, and pick in a fast grid. Filter by file type and rating to get to your selects in seconds.

03

Caption the whole take

Record one voice memo and let it caption the batch. Your byline, credit, and rights drop in from a saved preset — no field-by-field typing.

04

Send it anywhere

Deliver to FTP, email, your editor, or post to social — straight from the app, in one send you can reuse next time.

№ 02 The kit

One app where you used to need five.

Everything between the shutter and the send, in a workflow built for the field — not a stripped-down version of a desktop app.

Import only what matters

Connect an SD card or folder and import only the rated or flagged frames. Skip the throwaways before they ever land on your phone.

Cull and filter fast

Star ratings, flags, and picks in a quick grid. Filter by file type (RAW or JPEG) and by rating so your selects are one tap away.

Caption with your voice

Say it once. A single voice memo writes clean IPTC captions across the whole batch — every file ready to file, none typed by hand.

Metadata presets

Save your byline, credit, copyright, and contact once. Apply a full IPTC preset to a whole shoot in a tap, then tweak per photo if you need to.

Send straight to FTP

Deliver to FTP, your editor, email, Files, or social without leaving the app. Save a send once and reuse it for every job after.

Yours stays yours

Everything imports to your phone first. Your photos only move when you send them, and richer AI captions are an option you turn on — never the default.

№ 03 On the phone

Less time filing. More time shooting.

A working photographer can lose an hour a day to the post-shoot shuffle. Dispatches gives that hour back — and gets your work out faster.

№ 04 The press desk

For photojournalists and field press.

Made with freelance photojournalists, agency stringers, sports shooters, and pool photographers — the people who cover events for a living and file on a deadline. The workflow assumes deadline pressure, patchy signal, and an editor expecting clean captions on the first send.

On scenePull only the rated frames off the card and keep the shoot together as one event.
On the moveCaption the take by voice, drop in your byline and rights from a preset, fix the few that need it.
Before you leaveFire one send to the desk over FTP or email, and watch it go through — retry the stragglers.
№ 05 The rate card

One price. Everything.

No tiers, no maze. One subscription unlocks the whole workflow — import, cull, caption, and send. Start with a 14-day free trial and pay only if it earns its place on your next shoot.
