Release Notes

Version 6.25.0

August 2026

Improved

• Slideshow export options now show the exact video resolution for each aspect ratio.
• The mute button during playback now follows what is on screen, so it turns the sound on and off for live photos as well as videos (thanks Miles for the suggestion!).

Fixed

• Siri and Shortcuts slideshow actions no longer crash the Mac app.
• A slideshow interrupted by iOS closing the app in the background now reopens by itself the next time you unlock the device (thanks Dave for reporting!).
• A slideshow reopened after that interruption — or after an app update — now carries on from the photo it was showing, in the same order, instead of starting again from the first one (thanks Mário for reporting!). Playing an album yourself still starts from the beginning.
• Music no longer dips when a video without sound plays (thanks Fabian for reporting!).

Version 6.24.0

August 2026

Improved

• Settings are reorganised into clearer groups, with many rows renamed to say what they actually do.
• Photo Library now has its own screen in Settings, right under Slideshow.
• Background and Mat Board moved into Slideshow, next to the frame preview, so you can see each change as you make it.
• Active album filters now appear as removable chips above the album list (thanks Karen for the suggestion!).
• The frame preview screens are tidier: Appearance is a normal row under the Display switch instead of a button floating over the options.
• Excluded Photos stays out of the way until you have actually hidden a photo.

Fixed

• Settings screens with a frame preview now show their name at the top instead of just a back arrow.
• More of the app is translated, including the album filter chips and the Apple TV keyboard used for NAS setup.
• NAS / WebDAV and Immich photos now show their date, camera, lens and location (thanks Mike and Rod for the reports!).
• Downloaded NAS / WebDAV videos now show a preview frame instead of a blank slide.
• Filter by Orientation and Combine Photos now work on the first streamed NAS / WebDAV slideshow (thanks Tim!).

Version 6.23.0

July 2026

New

• WebDAV and Immich albums now have a Refresh option in the album's ⋯ menu: the app rescans your server, adds new photos and subfolders, removes deleted ones, and updates saved slideshows — no more deleting and re-adding the connection (thanks Mike for the suggestion!).
• New "Favorites Only" setting (Settings, under Photo Library): point the frame at any album and it will show only the photos you've marked as favorites in the Photos app (thanks Karen for the suggestion!).
• The albums screen's Sort & Filter now offers the same filters as inside an album: photos, videos, portrait, landscape, favorites, and date ranges. Album counts, browsing, and playback all follow the filter; saving a slideshow still saves the complete album (thanks Karen for the suggestion!).
• Exporting a slideshow video now opens with an Export Options screen: choose the shape (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, or Original), the music (your slideshow's music, none, or a song picked just for this video), and whether to show each photo's title, date, and place. Your choices are remembered for next time.
• Folders from the Files app and iCloud Drive now stay in sync on their own: added photos appear and deleted ones drop out, on Home and mid-slideshow. Photos not yet downloaded from iCloud are fetched automatically.

Improved

• With a photo border enabled, the border now slides, zooms, and turns together with the photo during transitions — as if it were part of the print instead of the frame (thanks Dean Wylie for the detailed feedback!). Exported videos keep the previous fixed-frame look for now.
• Adaptive Fill now offers the same Light and Dark background fills as the Fit mode, so photos that don't match your screen get a soft blurred backdrop instead of black bars.
• Removed the newsletter and App Store rating pop-ups that appeared on their own (thanks Sev for the feedback!).

Fixed

• Filter by Orientation and Smart Pair now work for photos from NAS / WebDAV, Immich, and other web sources, and for saved slideshows whose photos load without a full Photos-library record — the app learns each photo's shape as it is downloaded or first shown (thanks Tim for the report!). A filter that would hide every photo now shows an alert instead of an empty slideshow.
• Apple TV now uses its own remote-friendly keyboard for NAS / WebDAV and Immich setup, avoiding the system keyboard crash (thanks Dean Wylie for the detailed video report!).
• The "Last Weekend" filter now actually selects Saturday and Sunday; it previously matched Friday and Saturday, so Sunday photos never appeared.
• The Content Fit setting's summary now shows "Adaptive Fill" translated in all languages instead of always in English.
• Closing a slideshow and reopening it now always starts from the first photo, whether you play an album directly or a saved slideshow. Scheduled slideshows still resume where they left off after an overnight pause.

Version 6.22.0

July 2026

New

• New Adaptive Fill scaling mode: photos that match your iPad's orientation fill the screen, while the rest are shown whole instead of being heavily cropped. Perfect for a mix of landscape and portrait photos, and it adjusts automatically when you rotate the iPad (thanks for the report!).
• New "Match Device Rotation" orientation filter: shows only the photos that suit how your iPad is currently held (landscape photos when it's on its side, portrait photos when it's upright), and switches automatically when you rotate it (thanks for the report!).
• Pinch to zoom into a photo during the slideshow to look at the details, then lift your fingers and it eases back to normal. The slideshow pauses while you're looking and picks up where it left off (thanks for the report!).
• Hiding a photo from a slideshow now gives you two choices: "Hide for Now" skips it just for the current session so it returns next time, or "Hide Permanently" keeps it out of every slideshow for good. A new Hidden Photos screen (Settings, under the slideshow display options) lists everything you've permanently hidden so you can bring photos back, one at a time or all at once (thanks for the report!).

Improved

• Low-memory cleanups no longer throw away already-downloaded photos, so slideshows recover without re-downloading everything.
• The album lists for Immich, WebDAV, and Files no longer offer a Search option that did nothing (thanks for the report!). Search remains available where it works: Photo Library album lists, and Flickr/Unsplash.
• Smart Pair collages now match your photo border color in the gap between the two photos instead of always showing a black line, and you can choose how much space to leave between them (thanks for the report!).
• Renamed three settings so their labels say what they do: "Auto-Dim Screen" is now "Dim When Paused", "Show Higher Resolution Photos" is now "Download High Resolution Photos", and "Show Setup Before Slideshow Starts" is now "Show Setup on Slideshow Launch".
• Clearer labels across Settings: the Appearance theme section is now "Slideshow Appearance" with simpler "Dark", "Light", and "Match Device Appearance" options; "Content Mode" is now "Content Fit"; and the Discover section now reads "Getting started and tips" and "What's new and updates".

Fixed

• The app no longer freezes at launch or while loading the Files source when a cloud storage provider (Files app locations) stops responding; the affected folder shows as needing access and recovers on its own once the provider answers.
• Fixed a freeze that could happen while scanning a Files folder stored in the cloud, caused by the system checking each file's type; folders now scan without that slow per-file lookup.
• Simple Interaction Mode now always lets you out: a three-finger tap reveals the controls (or exits, if you chose that option) in every configuration, so you can never get stuck if you don't spot the on-screen exit button or can't manage the touch-and-hold (thanks for the report!).
• Searching your Apple Photos albums by name now works: the results stay filtered after you press return instead of snapping back to every album, sorting albums by name orders them correctly (including accented and non-English names), and a search ignores accents so "grun" finds "Grün" (thanks for the report!).
• Fixed a rare crash when looking up the place name shown with a photo's location.
• A scheduled sleep now turns the screen black at night as intended, instead of showing your chosen slideshow background color — so a light background no longer stays lit while the slideshow is asleep (thanks for the report!).
• Photos now stay sharp when your device is low on storage or offline: instead of a pixelated thumbnail stuck behind an endless spinner, the app shows the best version saved on your device — the same one the Photos app displays — both when viewing a photo and during the slideshow. When storage is the reason, a small warning badge appears; tap it for an explanation and a shortcut to Settings, just like the Photos app.
• Album covers now load reliably in the full album grid (the "See All" view), including iCloud Shared Albums: covers no longer appear blank or flash in and then vanish as you scroll — each one shows as soon as its image loads and stays put (thanks for the report!).
• Turning on "Match Device Rotation" from the slideshow settings no longer dead-ends with a "No Matching Photos" message when the current orientation has no matching photos; it now keeps playing the rest of your photos, exactly as it does when you rotate the device.
• The Accessibility settings icon is now sized consistently with the other icons across iOS versions.

Version 6.21.0

July 2026

New

• Simple Interaction Mode now offers a way back: an Exit Slideshow button, a hidden five-finger tap, or Touch & Hold — all Guided Access friendly and respecting Passcode Lock.
• WebDAV folders now import their subfolders too.

Improved

• Slideshows remember where they left off: scheduled sessions and app restarts continue with the remaining photos, so nothing repeats until everything has been shown (thanks for the report!). Works for saved slideshows and albums played directly, shuffle on or off.
• Adding or removing photos no longer restarts a shuffled slideshow — new photos blend into what hasn't been shown yet.
• Starting a slideshow from a specific photo now begins at that photo even when shuffle is on.
• Better localization: counts follow each language's plural rules, Siri phrases work in all 13 languages, and schedules respect the 12/24-hour clock setting.
• Feature Request votes and submissions stay tied to the correct email when switching accounts.

Version 6.20.0

July 2026

New

• A new Accessibility section in Settings brings four options: Simple Interaction Mode (every tap shows the next photo, so nothing gets paused by mistake, the controls only appear after touching and holding for 5 seconds, and it pairs great with Guided Access), an app-wide font choice, optional sounds (a tick each time the slideshow changes photo and a soft chime when a scheduled timer ends it), and a master switch for haptic feedback.
• The app-wide font choice includes three accessibility typefaces alongside the default: OpenDyslexic (weighted letter bottoms that help readers with dyslexia), Lexend (wide spacing proven to reduce visual stress and speed up reading), and Atkinson Hyperlegible (from the Braille Institute, designed for low vision).
• Settings switches now give a gentle haptic tap when toggled.

Improved

• Feature Requests moved from the Discover section to About, right below What's New.
• The Feature Requests screen no longer draws its loading spinner on top of the footer illustration while the list loads for the first time.
• Switching to an accessibility font no longer breaks layouts: the typefaces are optically size-matched to the system font, tight labels shrink instead of cutting off, the navigation bar picks up the new font immediately, and the font descriptions in Accessibility settings render smaller.
• The About screen's profile photo got a light circular border.
• Feature request vote buttons are more compact and show a light gray background until you vote.
• The Immich and NAS / WebDAV connection screen now hides the keyboard when you drag the form, and keeps the active field visible while you type.
• Clarified the Auto-Dim Screen setting: its description now explains that it also brightens the screen during playback, so it's clear why the slideshow gets brighter (thanks for the report!).
• Updating from an older version no longer resets your saved slideshows: the app now recognizes databases created by every previous release and upgrades them in place instead of starting fresh.
• Fixed a rare freeze when locking the screen or leaving the app while a slideshow was playing, which could end with the system closing the app as unresponsive.
• Fixed a crash that could happen while exporting a slideshow that contains videos or Live Photos with sound.
• Fixed a crash on Mac when reopening the app while macOS tried to restore its previous windows.
• Fixed a crash in the passcode settings when switching the authentication type, and made the choice actually stick on iOS 12 devices.
• Fixed a crash that could happen right after creating a saved slideshow while its widget cover images were being prepared.
• Shuffle now reshuffles at the start of each scheduled play session, so big libraries that never finish a full cycle in one day no longer repeat the same order every morning (thanks for the report!).

Version 6.19.0

June 2026

New

• Immich is here! Connect your self-hosted Immich server with an API key, browse your albums, and add them to your frame.
• NAS / WebDAV is here too! Works with Synology, QNAP, Nextcloud, and any WebDAV server — browse your folders and add their photos and videos. Self-signed certificates are supported.
• Both new sources work on Apple TV: your photos and videos stream straight from your server, so nothing needs to be stored on the TV.
• On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, choose how to add server media: download it for offline playback, or stream it to save storage.

Improved

• Importing photos and videos from Google Photos now works on iOS 12.
• Downloaded server media keeps playing even when your server is offline, and disconnecting a server removes its files and saved credentials.
• Clearer messages when Files folders need permission again, with a one-tap Restore Access.
• iCloud Shared Album photos now show the right date and location in slideshow captions, especially on Apple TV (thanks Hans for the report!).
• Servers on your home network can connect over plain http://, and servers that need https:// now get a clear message instead of a generic error.
• Server imports are faster, accept more video formats (.avi, .mkv, .mpeg), and removing a server no longer freezes the app.
• Server albums open from the home screen like any other album — browse full screen, play videos, and share.
• Hidden system files on your NAS (._ files, .DS_Store, @eaDir folders) no longer show up or import as broken photos.
• Streamed videos get their slideshow poster from the stream instead of downloading the whole file first.
• Polished the Add Source screen: buttons no longer get squeezed by long descriptions, and the list scrolls edge to edge.
• Fixed the on-screen weather widget appearing cut off or overlapping the date and time (thanks Thorsten for the report!).

Version 6.18.1

June 2026

Improved

• The image information caption now fades out with the outgoing photo and fades in with the incoming photo during the Fade transition, so the caption and image always change together (thanks Andrew for the report!).
• Fixed an iOS 12 launch crash by avoiding background Core Data warm-up and speculative Photo Library thumbnail prefetching on older devices.
• Fixed a crash when launching the app from the Home Screen on iOS 12.

Version 6.18.0

June 2026

New

• Create slideshows from scratch: a new + button on the Saved Slideshows screen starts an empty slideshow, and empty slideshows now show an Add Media button so you can fill them right away.
• Tap any photo or video inside a saved slideshow to view it full screen, with the same browsing, sharing, and info options as albums.
• Added a Calendar Events screen widget for slideshows, so upcoming events can appear over your photos with configurable calendars, event count, look-ahead range, details, position, and appearance.

Improved

• Opening a photo or video from an album or a saved slideshow now zooms it up from its thumbnail into full screen, and you can swipe down to flick it back into place — the same fluid transition as the Photos app.
• Slideshow video export now renders the mat board exactly like playback: mat color, paper and linen textures, and all bevel styles frame every photo, video, and Live Photo in the exported video.
• Mat board bevels now always stay white and texture-free, even when the mat board uses a custom color or texture (thanks again Dean for the feedback!).
• Fixed a Mac crash when opening Sort from the More menu in collection and album screens (thanks Claus for the report!).
• Smart pair collages now export: two portrait photos share the frame side by side in the exported video just like during playback, including the same playlist pairing and order.
• Face-aware fill now works in exported videos: the crop shifts toward detected faces exactly like playback (including inside pair collages), and the stretched fill mode now distorts the full image instead of a pre-cropped one.
• Exported transitions now match playback much more closely: a real page curl and a 3D perspective flip replace the old crossfade and flat squash, vertical slide directions and rotation direction are corrected, and all transitions use the same easing curves as the player.
• The Ken Burns effect is now included in slideshow videos exported from iPhone, which previously fell back to fades.

Version 6.17.0

June 2026

New

• New Origami transition folds each photo away in halves like closing a paper map, with hinged panels and soft crease shading, inspired by the classic Photos Origami theme.

Improved

• Saved slideshow content now shows a position number on each photo so it's clear in which order they'll play, updating live as you drag to rearrange.
• Unified typography across the app: album titles on source screens now match the Home screen, and the Add Source screen uses the same font styles as the rest of the app.
• Polished the Settings screen: the feedback banner now lines up with the width of the other sections, and the usage statistics in the footer use a monospaced font.
• Fixed a family of crashes during slideshow playback when skipping slides while photo downloads were still queued — the download queue's internal state could get corrupted and crash later in unrelated places, including while videos were being cleaned up (thanks Manuel for the report!).
• Improved slideshow image preloading across Photo Library, Files, Google Photos, and other URL sources so pair and collage layouts wait for display-ready images instead of showing black gaps, while keeping image decoding off the main thread.
• Slideshow transitions now start instantly: upcoming photos are fully loaded and decoded ahead of time and kept ready in memory for every source — Photo Library, Files, Google Photos, Flickr, Unsplash, and offline slideshows — so images no longer pop in a moment after the transition, and videos show their poster frame immediately while the video loads.

Version 6.16.0

May 2026

New

• Mat Board frames now include Off, Subtle, Classic, and Deep bevel controls plus Off, Paper, and Linen texture options for a more realistic framed-photo look (thanks Dean for the suggestion!).

Improved

• Fixed Apple TV music playback not resuming after unmuted Live Photos or videos play during a slideshow (thanks Richard for the heads up!).
• Fixed slideshows getting stuck on a loading icon and skipping to the next slide after running for a long time — the image download queue could be held up by iCloud-stored photos that never finished loading on older devices, and now recovers automatically with a timeout (thanks Anthony for the detailed logs!).
• Fixed the video duration label appearance when browsing an album on iOS 26.
• Fixed Apple TV Photo Library folders showing blank cover tiles until opening the folder.
• Fixed NAS/SMB Files folders not always including photos and videos from subfolders (thanks Mike for the heads up!).
• Fixed video export failing partway through on large slideshows — the app now checks for free storage before exporting and shows a clear message if there isn't enough space (thanks Sara for the report!).
• Fixed the feedback email getting stuck on devices without a configured Mail account — the app now falls back to other mail apps and offers a Copy Email Address option (thanks Darrell for the report!).

Version 6.15.0

May 2026

Improved

• Appearance settings now show a live preview of background color and mat board changes.
• Quieter crash reports for known recoverable issues, including weather lookups when the device is offline.
• Fixed video slides resuming from a spacebar pause with audio playing but the video frame frozen (thanks Andrew for the report!).
• Fixed saved slideshows sometimes failing to start from the Home screen on older iPads after launch, while still working from See All (thanks Darrell for the detailed report!).
• Fixed iPad and Mac crashes on iOS/macOS 26 caused by popovers opening without a valid anchor.
• Updated the FAQ and moved it into Getting Started for easier help access (thanks Graham for the suggestion!).
• Internal code cleanup.

Version 6.14.0

May 2026

New

• Added a Huge text size for the slideshow Date and Time widget on iPad, Apple TV, and Mac (thanks Manuel for the suggestion!).

Improved

• Offer code redemption now uses the modern StoreKit sheet on newer systems and handles unavailable or cancelled redemption more cleanly.
• Fixed a crash on iPad running iOS 26 when opening the Sort or More menu inside an album, and hardened other share and popover surfaces so they always anchor correctly.
• Recover automatically when the saved-slideshow database can't be read on launch, instead of leaving the app stuck without a database.

Version 6.13.1

May 2026

New

• Photo location captions now lead with the place name (e.g. "Tour Eiffel, Paris, France") when available, with neighborhood, city, and country filled in to taste (thanks Richard for the suggestion!).
• Added Full / Medium / Short location format options in the location caption settings so captions fit smaller screens — defaults to Medium.

Improved

• Polished Apple TV navigation: restored the more menu, suggest-a-collection, and search, with clearer focus on settings rows and Add Media.
• Fixed a launch crash on iOS 13 caused by the color picker delegate being available too early.
• Fixed large HEIC photos from the Files source failing to load on older iPads (thanks Anthony for the heads up!).
• Fixed the More menu for Curated Collections and Google Photos on older iOS versions.

Version 6.13

May 2026

New

• Exported slideshows now play real video clips and Live Photos to match the slideshow settings, including their original audio (ducked under the music track) when playback and mute settings allow it.
• Redesigned the Add Source screen into three grouped sections — Connect an Account, Your Cloud Drives, and Discover — with a distinct Files card that spells out that adding Files also brings in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and other cloud storage already set up in the Files app.
• Added a "Stay in the loop" newsletter signup in Settings → Discover, plus a one-time prompt after your first saved slideshow, so you can opt in to a short note when there's something new worth telling you about.
• Polished the app for iOS 26 with shiny new Liquid Glass touches, so the controls feel right at home in Apple's glossy new world.
• Added Object Name IPTC as a Title Configuration source, so photos using that field can drive the on-screen title.

Improved

• Slideshow exports now explain when music can't be added (DRM-protected Apple Music tracks, or curated songs still downloading) instead of producing a silent video.
• Fixed on-screen weather, date, and image information widgets not appearing during a slideshow when their toggle was on, after restoring slideshow defaults and re-enabling them.
• Fixed on-screen widget boxes still showing a border at 0% background opacity (thanks Erik for the heads up!).
• Fixed on-screen photo caption showing the filename instead of the IPTC caption for Files-source images (thanks Andrew!).

Version 6.12

April 2026

Improved

• Fixed a slideshow crash caused by invalid saved color values, and automatically restore invalid slideshow background and border colors to safe defaults.
• Hardened Core Data store migration and shared database recovery so incompatible saved slideshow data is migrated more safely.
• Translated tutorial and help screens, onboarding taglines, and the Live Widgets paywall title into all 12 supported languages (thanks Rolf!).

Version 6.11

April 2026

Improved

• Fixed a crash on Apple TV when toggling slideshow settings after returning from a sub-screen while the slide time picker was expanded.
• Fixed slideshow auto play not working on Apple TV when reopening the app with a saved slideshow set to auto play (thanks Gary for the heads up!).
• Improved performance.

Version 6.10

April 2026

New

• Added a Photo Orientation filter in Content Mode settings to show only landscape or portrait photos during slideshow playback, useful when the device is always in one orientation (thanks Valentin for the suggestion!).
• Added a mute/unmute video button during slideshow playback to quickly toggle video sound. Available in the top bar on iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, or in the more menu on iPhone.
• Added a hide photo button during slideshow playback to skip a photo for the rest of the current session. Available in the top bar on iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, or in the more menu on iPhone.
• Added a new Shared Albums source that shows only iCloud shared albums from the Photo Library, so you can dedicate a section to photos contributed by friends and family. Disabled by default, enable it from the content sources settings.

Improved

• Unified slideshow settings options across app entry points so playback, display, info pane, music, timer, and restore defaults are consistently available; the only option still hidden during active playback is "Show settings before slideshow".
• Made Shuffle apply immediately when enabled from the in-slideshow settings screen, so the slide order reshuffles right away when resuming playback.
• Fixed Mat Board Width on the Appearance screen not opening its picker on iOS 12, now using the same legacy menu fallback behavior as other settings rows.
• Fixed on-screen image information and caption not displaying metadata (location, camera, lens) for photos from the Files source during slideshow playback.
• Updated slideshow Content Mode preview so enabling Smart Pair shows two portrait sample images side by side, and disabling it returns to a single image preview.
• Fixed widget style preset font mismatch on iOS 12 where the Customize Style device preview could show a different font than the selected preset card (for example, Editorial).

Version 6.9.2

April 2026

Improved

• Fixed a crash on app launch for iOS 12 devices when downloaded from the App Store.

Version 6.9.1

April 2026

Improved

• Added Open-Meteo weather provider, automatic fallback through all providers, accurate UV index, and fixed weather condition icons.
• Fixed on-screen photo metadata not loading for photos from the Files source when security-scoped folder access was inactive.
• Fixed Photo Library folders not showing the correct photo and video count on the home screen when "Show Library Folders" is enabled (thanks Andrew!).
• Fixed French localization for album count strings showing missing spaces.
• Fixed a crash during memory warnings when Photo Library access was not granted.

Version 6.9.0

March 2026

New

• Added adjustable white photo borders for slideshow playback, with widgets able to stay on the photo area or overlap the border (thanks Valentin for the suggestion!).
• Added a default Photo Library sort setting in General settings, with the Photos app order as the default and per-album or per-section sorting still able to override it.

Improved

• Improved Mac slideshow playback so moving the trackpad makes the cursor visible again for a few seconds, making it easier to reach the menu bar or interact with on-screen controls (thanks Craig for the suggestion!).
• Fixed UV Index showing a 0-4 category level instead of the actual UV value in on-screen weather (thanks Valentin for the heads up!).
• Fixed on-screen photo caption not displaying location, camera, or lens information for photos from the Files source, even when GPS coordinates were present in the file metadata (thanks Michael for letting me know!).
• Fixed a crash when updating on-screen information box styles if a saved custom color value was invalid.
• Improved iPad settings rows with trailing detail text so titles stay visible and subtitles use the remaining space.
• Improved Files source folder loading performance by removing pagination and loading all items at once, eliminating the need to scroll to load more items (thanks Michael for the report!).

Version 6.8.0

March 2026

New

• Added style presets for on-screen information boxes, so you can quickly choose how Image Info, Weather, and Date boxes look.
• You can now configure Image Info, Weather, and Date box styles directly from the slideshow screen by long-pressing each box.
• You can now edit the content shown in Image Info, Weather, and Date boxes directly from the slideshow screen, without leaving playback.

Improved

• Unified Files source add actions so both the section button and empty-state button now follow the same picker flow (menu on iOS 14+, dialog fallback on iOS 12/13).
• Added Sort & Filter to Files folder collections so you can sort by name or date before starting the slideshow, matching the behavior available in other photo sources (thanks Michael for the heads up!).
• Files items in detail view now open a read-only info sheet showing local file details plus available image or video metadata.
• Fixed screen flashing white and scrolling back to the top when browsing large shared albums.
• Simplified slideshow music selection by removing the single-track/multi-track mode toggle, so track picking now behaves consistently and always supports multi-track selection.
• Slideshow video exports now include the selected soundtrack (downloaded songs or user library tracks when available).

Version 6.7.0

February 2026

New

• Added a new Files source so you can pick folders from the Files app and play slideshows with photos and videos stored in local or cloud-backed folders.
• Added a Mac-only slideshow setting to prevent the macOS screen saver from appearing while a slideshow is playing (thanks Jeffrey for the suggestion).

Improved

• Replaced the Ken Burns Continuous toggle with Ken Burns Motion options: Gentle Sweep (slide-synced) and Full Sweep (fixed pace).

Version 6.6.1

February 2026

New

• Added a Continuous Ken Burns mode that smoothly loops the pan animation back and forth at a consistent speed, ideal for longer slide intervals.

Improved

• Fixed crash on macOS 26 when clicking the dock icon to reopen the app.
• Fixed app becoming unresponsive when displaying on-screen information for video slides.
• Fixed on-screen image information not displaying for certain photos and showing incorrect dates for Google Photos (thanks Scott Weller for the heads up!).
• Fixed schedule toggle not updating the icon background color to reflect the enabled/disabled state.
• Fixed Apple TV slideshow images and videos appearing overly bright and washed out (thanks Scott Burns for the heads up!).
• Fixed Google Photos picker failing for users who signed in before the picker scope was added. A re-authentication alert now guides affected users to sign in again (thanks Sam for letting me know!).
• Fixed a crash on app launch when the local database was corrupted or incompatible.

Version 6.6.0

February 2026

New

• Added support for multi-image slides so a single slide can show more than one photo.

Improved

• Fixed slideshow videos sometimes getting cut off (thanks Sashi for the heads up!).
• Fixed shared albums not showing when "Show Library Folders" is enabled (thanks Zhuoran for the heads up!).
• Fixed on-screen image captions missing title/date when metadata sources are unavailable or ordered after other fields.
• Improved Ken Burns behavior and slideshow transitions overall.

Version 6.5.0

January 2026

Improved

• Hide video duration labels while their collection cell is selected, preventing the checkmark from overlapping the timer.

• When a slideshow ends from a collection detail view, the detail view now returns to the last slide that was shown.

• Improved Apple TV slideshow photo rendering to reduce rare display glitches (thanks again Allie!).
