Hickory Books
Describe what you want to remember. We comb your library, sort by confidence, and mail the hardcover in 14 days.
The promise
The best photo of your bachelorette weekend — or your dad's 70th, or that Tuesday that somehow mattered — lives on a server you'll never re-open. Hickory finds it, prints it, and puts it on your shelf.
The magic
No other photo book app reads your description and assembles the book. We do — and we show our work, so you stay in charge.
01
Plain English, in a chat box.
Sarah's bachelorette weekend in Nashville, June 12–14.
Or pick a face: "this is Mom — find every photo of her."
02
Two buckets. Reasoning shown for each photo.
Hover any photo: "Sarah, June 12 morning, downtown Nashville."
03
Drag between buckets. Add your own. Tell us how to format.
Make it editorial — sparse, magazine feel.
A preview lands in your browser. Approve, and it ships in 14 days.
