MemePouch 🦦
Keep the whole meme. MemePouch is an iMessage sticker app for iPhone that turns your photos, GIFs, and short videos into reusable stickers — without Apple's auto-cutout chopping the frame in half. It also lets you save the stickers your friends send you in iMessage. Unlock it once or subscribe — your call — and everything stays on your device.

What MemePouch does
- 🖼️ Whole-image stickers. Apple's built-in tool cuts out the subject and throws away the rest. MemePouch keeps the entire frame — caption, background, reaction faces, all of it — so the meme still reads.
- 💾 Save stickers friends send you. That sticker someone just sent in the chat? Press and hold it, open MemePouch in the iMessage drawer with another finger, and drag it straight into your library. (Works for both animated and static stickers — it's the reliable path iOS doesn't otherwise give you.)
- 🎞️ Turn a video into a GIF sticker. Pick a clip, trim up to 10 seconds of the best moment, and it becomes a smooth looping GIF — bigger and sharper than the old tiny ones.
- ✨ Live Photo → GIF in one tap. Save it instantly, or open the trim editor first if you want to fine-tune the loop.
- 📲 Import from anywhere. Photos picker (up to 30 at once), the iOS Share Sheet (from Safari, Files, WhatsApp, and more), paste from clipboard, or drag-and-drop. Share a video from Photos and MemePouch opens the trim editor for you.
- 🔎 Filter by Images or GIFs. A quick toggle at the top of your library — in the app and in the iMessage drawer — so you can pull up a GIF reaction without scrolling.
- 👀 Preview before you send. Long-press any GIF in your library for a full-screen animated preview.
- 🧠 Smart sorting. Your library quietly floats the stickers you use most to the top, and keeps a freshly imported one up front for 24 hours. No settings to fiddle with.
- 📌 Pin to Top. Long-press a sticker and pin your go-to reactions to the very front; drag the pinned ones into the exact order you want.
- 🗂️ Group them your way. Make your own categories — cats, reactions, one per group chat — and long-press a sticker to file it. The tabs show up in the iMessage drawer too. Delete a category and the stickers stay.
- ♻️ Recently Deleted. Deleted something by mistake? It waits 30 days — and survives reinstalling the app or switching phones.
- ☁️ Backs up to your own iCloud. Delete the app, get a new iPhone, sign in — the stickers, categories and pinned order come back. It's your Apple ID's private storage, not a server of mine. On by default, switchable off in Settings.
- 💬 Send them in WhatsApp too. Export any stickers as a WhatsApp pack — GIFs become animated WhatsApp stickers. Free, no unlock needed.
- 🧹 Clean up your camera roll. Optional auto-delete moves the original photo to Trash after you've safely imported it.
- 🌏 Speaks your language. English, Español, 日本語, 한국어, Português (Brasil), 简体中文, and 繁體中文 — following your iOS region, or set it manually.
- 🔒 Private by design. No accounts. Your library lives on your iPhone and, if you leave iCloud sync on, in your own iCloud — never on a server of ours. The app sends anonymous usage analytics (which features get used), never the stickers themselves.
