i ruined my phone storage saving reference images, so i built an app that stores links instead

i'm a solo dev from south korea. last year my gallery blew past 60gb — mostly images i had saved "for later inspiration" and never opened again. the turning point was realizing i didn't actually need the files. i needed the images. so i built pickip: an image search app where saving an image stores the original high-res link + thumbnail, not a download. 100 saved images take close to zero storage, organized into keyword folders. you can also hit share → pickip straight from instagram or pin

痛点：用户大量保存灵感参考图导致手机存储爆满，但真正需要的是图片本身而非本地文件，缺少轻量的链接式图片收藏工具。

目标用户：设计师、插画师、内容创作者，以及习惯在 Instagram/Pinterest 保存视觉参考的普通用户。

证据：last year my gallery blew past 60gb — mostly images i had saved "for later inspiration" and never opened again. ... it's free with ads + an optional pro tier. still early and the installs are slow, so i'm trying to figure out what makes people actually keep an app like this.

变现：Freemium：免费版带广告，Pro 订阅解锁无限收藏、去广告、高级文件夹/搜索；后续可加云同步或团队协作付费。

MVP：两周内做 Android MVP：分享扩展接收 Instagram/Pinterest 链接，抓取原图链接+缩略图，关键词文件夹管理，本地只存链接和缩略图；加一个桌面小组件展示收藏卡片。搜索可先用现成图片搜索 API 或简化方案，不做复杂逆向。

竞品：Pinterest、Savee、Are.na、Cosmos、Google Photos、Raindrop.io

摘要：韩国独立开发者因相册超过 60GB 全是保存后不再看的灵感图，做了 pickip：保存图片时只存高清原链接和缩略图，100 张图几乎不占存储，并支持关键词文件夹和分享导入。应用免费带广告+可选 Pro，但作者坦言安装量增长缓慢，仍在摸索留存。该痛点真实但赛道拥挤，付费意愿尚未验证。
