Give your memories a place at home. LoopSlide turns your iPhone or iPad into a photo and video frame, with no account, ads, or tracking. YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR SOURCES Choose albums from Photos, select a folder through Files, or connect to an SMB network share. Media already available on your device can play offline. SMB requires access to your server. CONTROL YOUR FRAME FROM ANOTHER SCREEN Turn on Remote Control in Settings on the frame, even before you add a source, then open its pairing link on another phone or computer. Use a browser to pause playback, move between items, adjust settings, and manage supported sources and your existing music playlist. Remote Control is off by default and works only while LoopSlide stays in the foreground. Use it only on a trusted private network: the connection uses unencrypted HTTP. Anyone with the pairing link or key can control the frame until you revoke access. Permissions, new folder selection, and music imports remain on the frame device. ENCRYPTED SMB BACKUP Export your SMB connections, including saved passwords, to a backup file in Files. The file is encrypted with a password of at least 12 characters that you choose; a lost password cannot be recovered. Importing adds missing connections, skips duplicates, and keeps your existing connections. The backup covers SMB connections only, not other settings or media. MAKE IT YOURS Enjoy transitions, Ken Burns motion, photo filters, and collage layouts. Add a clock, date stamp, or available photo metadata. Play imported audio files or supported music-library items while viewing your photos. Apple Music subscription playback is not supported. Use night mode and exhibition schedules to suit your routine. OPTIONAL WEATHER Show local weather from Open-Meteo. Weather requires location permission and internet access; coordinates rounded to two decimal places are sent to Open-Meteo to retrieve the forecast. NATIVE ON IPHONE AND IPAD Version 2.0 rebuilds LoopSlide with a native interface for iOS 16 or later. The app supports English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. This native version supports Photos, Files folders, and SMB, and casts the slideshow, including videos with sound, to a TV over AirPlay. WebDAV and DLNA from the previous app are not available. After upgrading, reselect Files folders on the device to restore access.
