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.
Ninja Slideshow

Ninjart Slideshow is a player app for displaying artworks as a full-screen slideshow at exhibitions and galleries. Just load an artwork list made in Excel together with your image files, and your works are shown large, one after another. Artwork data is based on four core fields—artwork title, image file name, artist name, and X (formerly Twitter) account name—and you can optionally add a date. You can export an Excel template from within the app, fill it in with any spreadsheet app, and load it back in directly. Supported image formats are PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. The display is fully customizable. You can set the switch interval (1–60 seconds), the transition (instant / fade / crossfade / slide), the background color, the font / text size / color / background of the title and artist panels, the position of the date badge, and the position and size of the QR code that links to the artist's X account. During playback, in addition to auto-advance, you can move to the previous or next artwork by tapping the left or right side of the screen, and you can pause and resume. Settings can be exported and imported as a JSON file, so you can reuse them on another device or for your next exhibition. This app is designed local-first. The artwork data and settings you load are stored on your device, and no account registration or sign-in is required. No data is ever sent to the developer's servers. Key features: - Bulk loading of an Excel artwork list and images - Export of an artwork template (Excel) - Full-screen slideshow playback (auto-advance / manual advance / pause) - Transitions (instant / fade / crossfade / slide) - Detailed customization of the title and artist panels - Date badge display - QR code linking to an X account - JSON export / import of display settings - iPhone / iPad support, screen kept awake during playback This app is a display tool for exhibitions and presentations.
