Take your self-deprecating messages to the next level with a fun iOS app that lets you customize quirky, animated stickers with your own captions! Choose from over 40 ready-made stickers or create your own using over 70 animated templates. Share your stickers using the sticker pack in Messages, or use the standalone app to share a sticker as a PNG or GIF. You can add all kinds of widgets to your home screen… And now check out the neurotic weather! The neurotic possibilities are endless! 😱🌪

Available in the iOS App Store for iPhones & iPads running iOS 17.0 and later. Free to make a few custom creations; unlock all features with a subscription of $2.99/year. (That’s so cheap that even after subscribing for 1000 years, it’ll still be cheaper than buying an Apple Vision Pro!)

New Features

Version 4.4.0

• Text input got a makeover! Redesigned the text input system when creating stix. Now you’ve got one simplified text box to type your caption and the app automatically figures out how to lay out your caption in a pretty way. You can always select “Advanced Text Input” if you’re a control freak and want full control of each line.
• Dragons and showers! I added a dragon sticker to provide some fiery drama, and a person in the shower for when you’re having those deep shower thoughts.
• Starter sticker packs! Added a new feature called Starter Stix to quickly build up your library with sticker packs. Choose from pessimist, optimist, weird, or a blended sticker pack. Select which stix you want to add to your library.
• Cloud sync is less cloudy! New sync system to sync your stix library across devices. Now favorite markers sync as well.
• AI got an upgrade! Updated the prompt that the app uses when communicating with an AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini). Now you’re 8.5% more likely to get a decent stix back from AI.
• General clean up. Cleaned up the UI a bit. Fixed some bugs that were bugging me more than you.

Versions 4.0.0 – 4.3.3

• Overhauled all the widgets! Choose from five different widgets: Library Widget, Stix with Date, Community Widget, a Big Dumb Clock, and Neurotic Weather. Since they’ve all gone through changes, you may need to delete and reconfigure your widgets. Sorry for the inconvenience.
• Neurotic Weather enhancements! Now you can use the new Neurotic Weather “mini” widget if you want a smaller widget on your home screen. This widget has 5 different layouts. You can also search for any Neurotic Weather location (previously, it would only show the local weather). And if you were annoyed by the default weather widget background colors, you can now pick your own background color from the widget settings page.
• More custom stickers! Sushi! Person meditating! Person drowning! Cute creature in an egg! Vampire! Koala! Taco! Poop! Mouse! Adorable alien! Person on an island! Person in a dumpster fire!
• More customizable face options! For many of the people stickers, you now have more eye and mouth options.
• Neurotic AI! Added an experimental feature that uses Neurotic AI to generate stix for you. NOTE: Neurotic AI requires a Neurotic Stix subscription and an API key from an AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini).
• Added some options to make it 2.79% easier to create and share stix. “Duplicate” and “Copy to Clipboard” from the share & edit page when you tap on a stix. “Paste from Clipboard” option from the settings page.
• The app was tidied up. Fixed a few bugs. Gave it a good massage. Maybe a little acupuncture.
• Neurotic Stix now requires iOS 17 or later.

Terms of Use

See our terms of use at this location.

App Communication

The main communication that can occur from the app is (a) with Apple regarding purchases or weather data, (b) with an AI provider when you explicitly generate a stix using Neurotic AI, and (c) with a Neurotic Stix repository to occasionally download community stix for the community stix widget or the community tab. The app may also open a web page in your browser if you actively tap a link, such as for help. And that’s about it. In other words, nothing sneaky is being discussed behind your back!

Contact

If you actually want to contact the neurotic developer, use this half-baked form, or send him a message on Mastodon or Threads or Bluesky.
