Crowbox vs PixLink

You have some photos to show. You're all together - appropriately distanced of course. Crowbox lets you show YOUR photos on THEIR iPhones. You control the show - but they see it on their devices. So obvious, and easy, and smooth. Like an old-fashioned slideshow, except everyone has their own personal screen. You show your pics, they watch. Crow your photos with Crowbox! That was an amazing meal/hike/moose/sunset! Now you’re socializing with a few of your friend and you want to show them! You could hand them your phone (Yuck, nooooo!) and tell them to swipe left, hoping they don’t swipe right. You could send them all the photos, but they don’t really want to clutter up their device with your pics. You could send them all to social media, but Morgan doesn’t have an account, and you don't really want Pat to see them. Nothing else works like Crowbox! Did we mention that Crowbox is completely safe and secure! YOUR photos play directly on THEIR screens - there is no server, or cloud. And that means it works anywhere you have a group of iOS devices together - a driveway, a park, a mountaintop, a restaurant. No internet required. No account required. No wifi router required. No username and password required. Start Crowing!

This app lets you save and organize direct image links—such as names and URLs—using SwiftData. Each saved item can be refreshed on demand, allowing the app to reload the image from its source. The app idea is to create a simple way to view live webcam images from a city: many webcams publish still images on the web, and with their direct links the app can download and display them. Nothing prevents it from being used more generally to store any direct-link images from the web, keeping them in one dedicated place instead of the Apple Photos library. The refresh feature is most useful for images that update regularly, such as webcam snapshots. Static images will be stored as well, even if refreshing them serves no practical purpose. The app supports iCloud sync, so your saved and downloaded image links stay in sync across devices.
