Key differences explained
Products only vs. everything you save
This is the whole comparison in one line. Locker is a shopping tool with a social graph. Sorti is a saved-content layer that happens to be very good at shopping. If you only ever save products, Locker is a clean, focused choice with a community attached. If your camera roll also holds recipes, places, and outfit inspiration, those live somewhere else entirely with Locker, and nowhere at all if you never got around to organizing them.
A wishlist stores. Sorti acts.
This is the real difference, and it is bigger than any feature checklist. A wishlist is passive storage: you put something in, and it waits for you to remember it. Most saved items never get revisited, because the moment you were ready has to line up with the moment you happen to open the app.
Sorti treats a save as a signal of intent, and works to close it. It watches the price and pings you when it drops. It watches stock and tells you when your size is back. It resurfaces the restaurant you saved when you are making plans, and the recipe when you are deciding what to cook. The save is the beginning of something, not the end of it.
Built for the creator economy
Most of what people save today came from a creator. Sorti recognizes that automatically: when you save a piece from an Instagram reel or a TikTok, Sorti identifies the creator behind it and tags the save to them. Your library ends up organized not just by what something is, but by who put it in front of you.
For creators, that becomes Creator Mode: build a shoppable collection, share it with your audience with affiliate links attached, and see the analytics that actually matter, how many people saved an item, came back to it, and converted. Not views. Saved intent. That is the layer wishlist apps do not have, and it is free.
Private by default
Locker is built around a public shopping graph. Sorti is built around a private one. Your saves are yours, and sharing is a per-folder decision you make deliberately, not the default state of your library. Plenty of what people save is not meant to be seen: gifts they are planning, things they are still deciding on, ideas that are half-formed. Sorti assumes that, then gives you shared folders for the trip you are planning with friends.
Screenshots
Locker works from links. Sorti also reads screenshots: OCR pulls out the text, AI identifies what the image actually shows, and the save gets categorized without you typing anything. For a lot of people screenshots are the majority of what they save, especially from Instagram stories and TikTok, where there is often no clean link to grab.
Where saving actually happens
Sorti is built around the phone, because that is where discovery happens: mid-scroll on Instagram, in a TikTok comment section, in a link a friend sent on WhatsApp, in a screenshot you took at 1am. The iOS and Android share sheet catches all of it in one gesture, and Sorti reads screenshots too, which is the single biggest category of saved content and the one desktop tools never see. A web version is in progress.
Android
Locker is iOS plus browser. Sorti is on both iPhone and Android with the same feature set and sync between devices. If you are on Android, or share a household with someone who is, this decides it.
Context around the purchase
A wishlist tells you what you wanted. It does not tell you why. In Sorti, the dress sits next to the reel that made you want it, the outfit board you were building, and the similar piece you saved from another store two weeks ago. That context is usually what turns a saved item into an actual decision.
