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.

Free No ads No subscription No account Photos stay on your iPad
For iPad and iPhone, iPadOS and iOS 16 or later.

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, jazz and relaxing moods, free recordings and radio stations, plus your Apple Music playlists, on AirPlay or Chromecast 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, you can leave a tip from inside the app to help keep it going.

Every feature, free Optional tips in the app Nothing to cancel
