PhotoWall

PhotoWall turns your television into a wall of your own photos.

Add photos once from your phone and they appear on the TV within a minute. They stay there: PhotoWall keeps its own copy, so the wall works when the internet doesn't, starts instantly, and never stalls waiting on a network.

THREE WAYS TO ADD PHOTOS
Connect Google Photos and pick albums or photos in Google's own picker. Paste a public Apple (iCloud) Shared Album link and new additions to it appear on the wall automatically. Or send photos straight from your phone's browser. Mix and match, or use just one.

FIFTEEN COLLAGE PATTERNS
A wall of photos, laid out fifteen different ways: a classic grid, a golden section, a portrait wall, a quilt, a pinwheel. Cells change one at a time, and the whole pattern changes every few minutes, so the wall is never quite the same twice. Photos are matched to the shape of the space they go in, so a portrait photo lands in a tall cell rather than being cropped through the middle of somebody's face.

SIX WAYS TO SHOW A PHOTO
Slideshow, with a slow drift across each frame. Collage. Prints scattered on a dark table. A magazine spread with the caption beside the picture. A browsable wall you move through with the remote. And an ambient face with a clock, for when the TV is just part of the room.

IT IS ALSO YOUR SCREENSAVER
Set PhotoWall as the TV's screensaver and the wall comes on by itself whenever the room goes quiet. No pitch, no prompt, no banner, just the photos.

SETTING IT UP
Scan the code on the TV with your phone, choose your photo source, and you are done. PhotoWall only ever sees the photos you add; it cannot browse the rest of your library. Add more any time, and a second pick adds to the wall rather than replacing it.

FREE, AND WHAT ISN'T
The slideshow, the screensaver and every other view are free, forever, with no ads. The fifteen collage patterns are a one-time purchase. Try them free for a week, with no card and nothing to cancel. When the week is up the wall simply goes back to the slideshow. If you want the patterns you buy them once and own them; there is no subscription and there never will be.

Requires an Android TV or Google TV device.
