## What is PicDock?

Turn a spare iPhone or iPad — or your new iPhone Duo — into a digital photo frame and bedside clock. PicDock plays the photos, Live Photos and home videos in your library with smooth transitions, with Apple Music as the soundtrack, and puts the clock, weather and battery wherever you like. No playback limits, no ads.

▸ PHOTOS, LIVE PHOTOS & VIDEOS
Slideshow your entire photo library — or pick specific albums. Live Photos move just as you shot them, and videos blend right into the rotation.

▸ FAMILY SHARED ALBUMS
Pick an iCloud Shared Album and the frame updates whenever your family adds photos. Grandkids' pictures arrive on the grandparents' iPad by themselves — no server, no account.

▸ 30+ TRANSITIONS
Fade, crossfade, slide, zoom, 3D cube, iris, blinds, clock wipe, bounce, depth, rotate — plus random modes that keep things fresh every time.

▸ APPLE MUSIC BGM
Connect Apple Music and set the mood. The floating mini player lets you see what's playing without leaving the slideshow.

▸ 12 CLOCK DESIGNS
Digital, large, minimal, flip, neon, LED segment, stacked, and 5 analog faces (classic, modern, Swiss, minimal, Roman). Pick a text color, one of 12 fonts and any world city's time zone.

▸ STAND MODE FOR iPhone Duo
Half-fold your iPhone Duo and stand it up: one photo on the upper screen, another on the lower — or switch the lower screen to a clock, weather and music player panel. Unfold it and the clock and weather scale up for the larger screen, and the slideshow keeps playing as you fold and unfold. Turn it on or off in Settings > Slideshow & Effects.

▸ LIVE WEATHER & 5-DAY FORECAST
See current conditions and a 5-day forecast right on your photo frame. Animated weather effects (rain, snow, clouds) bring your display to life.

▸ MULTI-FRAME
Show two photos at once — side by side in landscape, stacked in portrait.

▸ SMART FOCUS
Face detection automatically zooms into the subject of each photo — no cropping needed.

▸ DISPLAY EFFECTS
Ken Burns pan & zoom, parallax motion, bokeh blur backgrounds, and more — your photos come alive with cinematic movement.

▸ PHOTO FILTERS
Apply real-time filters: vivid, warm, cool, noir, chrome, vintage, and more.

▸ SLEEP SCREEN
Stand it on the charger and it becomes a bedside clock: a big clock, the date and today's weather on one screen, turning a soft red after dark. Pick the layout, clock style, color and brightness. With Sleep During Night Hours on, it falls asleep by itself at night while it's charging. Tap for a flashlight and a wake-up button.

▸ NIGHT MODE
Automatically dims the display during the hours you set.

▸ BATTERY & PHOTO INFO
See battery level and charging status at a glance. View EXIF data — date, location, camera — for any photo.

▸ FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
Drag and resize every overlay (clock, weather, music player, battery) anywhere on screen. Adjust slideshow speed, transition duration, and photo order to your liking.

▸ DESIGNED FOR EVERY ROOM
Bedside clock. Kitchen recipe frame. Office desk companion. Nursery memory wall. Digital art on the living-room shelf. A welcome screen in a café or shop. A memorial photo. A device from the drawer gets a second life.

▸ BUY ONCE FOR IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC
