Why It Works So Well on the Mac

1

A real Mac app

Runs natively on macOS. Put a slideshow on your second monitor, in a window, or take over the whole screen.

2

All your photo sources

iCloud Photos, shared albums, Google Photos, Dropbox and any folder on disk. Point it at a folder and new photos appear automatically.

3

Widgets and ambience

Weather, clock and photo info widgets turn an idle display into something genuinely useful and personal.

4

Synced with your devices

The slideshows you set up on iPhone, iPad or Apple TV are right there on the Mac with the same Apple ID.

Your idle screen, doing something beautiful

Most Macs spend hours displaying nothing. Digital Photo Frame App fills that time with the photos you never get around to looking at: family gatherings, trips, the folder of wallpapers you collected for years. An old iMac or a spare monitor makes a spectacular kitchen or office photo frame.

Install the app from the App Store on macOS 11 or later, connect your photo sources once, and press play. For ideas and setup tips, read our guide on using your Mac as a photo frame.
