WhoFrame
WhoFrame
made for Deb
Look who's here. Turn an iPad into a beautiful family photo frame, where new photos from the family show up the moment they're shared.
A frame that keeps up with the family
Set it up once. After that, nobody has to touch it for new photos to appear.
New photos, on their own
Share to an iCloud Shared Album from your phone and it appears on the frame, shown first and marked New, along with the album it came from.
Smooth as a real frame
Every photo fades gently into the next, never a jump. A slow drift zooms toward faces, and two upright photos share the screen side by side.
A dashboard for the day
Swipe down for the time, the weather in plain words with the numbers, today's calendar and reminders, music and timers, all in one glance.
Just ask
“Hey iPad, set a timer for 10 minutes.” “Play some piano music.” “Show me pictures of Sam.” No tapping, no menus.
Gentle at night
After bedtime it dims itself to black and white with a warm clock, or becomes a nightstand. A tap brings the color back for a minute.
Hearts that reach the family
Tap the heart on a photo you love and a message with that photo is ready to send to the family. Loved photos come around more often.
Memories and birthdays
Photos from this day in earlier years, with “3 years ago today”, and a happy birthday greeting with photos of the birthday person.
Kitchen helper
Save recipes from a link or a photo of a recipe card, then start a timer for each step right from the recipe.
Music for the room
Piano, classical, choir and relaxing music from free recordings, plus your Apple Music playlists, on AirPlay speakers.
“I built WhoFrame for my mother-in-law, Deb, so she would never miss a photo of the grandkids.”
Store-bought frames wanted an account, an app, a subscription, or all three, and still made her wait for someone to send photos to the frame. WhoFrame works the other way around: the family shares photos the way they already do, to an iCloud Shared Album, and they simply appear.
It's built to be calm and easy for anyone: big type, nothing to configure after setup, and no pop-ups or ads, ever.
Free. Tips welcome.
WhoFrame is free to download and use, with every feature included. No ads, no subscription, no account. If it brings your family joy, a tip from inside the app, coming in an update, helps keep it going.
Private by design
Your photos are yours.
