Some photos deserve to be part of the room, not just part of the archive. immichSlides turns your Immich library into a quiet, private slideshow for the screens you already own: Apple TV in the living room, an iPad on a shelf, or an iPhone on a nightstand. Pick albums and people from your own Immich server. The app handles the slideshow, while you stay in control of what plays. Why you’ll use it: • No need to rebuild your library Your albums and people are already in Immich. Choose albums and people in the app without reorganizing, exporting, or creating a separate photo collection. • Fewer awkward surprises When you choose one person, stricter filtering helps reduce group shots, extra people, and photos meant for a smaller audience from appearing on a shared screen. • A better screen for your memories Turn an iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV into a high-quality photo display instead of buying another dedicated digital frame. • Privacy protection for your photo display Use a 6-digit PIN to protect your Immich connection and slideshow selection, so others on a shared device can’t casually change what appears. • Photo details stay with the image Show camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, date, and location while photos play. Before you download: • Requires your own Immich server and API key. • Independent app for Immich; not an official Immich app. • Not a full replacement for the Immich client. • Does not upload, delete, edit, back up, host, or share photos. • Single-person filtering reduces unwanted mix-ins but cannot guarantee perfect results. • Free, with no ads.
