With PhotoStickies you have your dearest ones always with you at your Mac. Or at least pictures of them. PhotoStickies shows your favorite pictures directly on your desktop, floating and, if you like, borderless. PhotoStickies also shows the picture of connected cameras or from live webcams on your desktop and updates them automatically. You can even record them or make them your desktop picture.
Just what I need
It's great. But there is one annoying bug. It doesn't display saved state to single monitor. The images are randomly displayed on different monitors.
Awesome except for one thing
i love how this displays puictures without any borders , controls or frames at all. The ONLY prob i have with it is you cant drag to resize. Thats a HUGE problem but maybe just for me cuz im lazy. The developer should change that because its one of the few products that displays pics in this clean way.
Needed a widget for photos
I was looking to put a photo or slideshow as a sticky, but I wasn't looking to use the Photos app, I wanted to use photos on my desktop/hard drive. At first it's a little intimidating; don't worry about the inspector window right away, go to File > Open Directory, and then select the folder you have your photos. I'm sure it has more to offer as an app so I'm looking forward to learning more. This was perfect for what I needed. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to post a photo of their loved ones, hassel free, from a folder on your computer. Five Stars.
Wow.
Is this a joke? It's surprisingly poor. Zero conventions for modern OS interactions (e.g. pinch to zoom)… not even a scale preserve when reizing. Wild.
Could Be Better
It used to be better, but it’s gotten really weird recently, despite no updates. First, I would love to see a “fits inside” feature where a slideshow is restricted to fit inside a specific pixel dimmension. Instead, every photo is displayed at the same scale… so to view large photos, I have to scale them down, which means small photos are just postage stamps on the screen. I’d rather set image size to a particular pixel square and all photos are scaled individually to fit that space. More recently, it seems like with each advance in the slideshow, the image moves slightly so where the photos are in the upper left corner of my screen in the morning, by evening they have drifted to the center of the screen. It’s quite annoying to have to continually move the slideshow back to it’s place in the corner. This app hasn’t been updated since 2014, so I suspect there will be no changes, but for being the “best” photo frame app on the App store, it could be so much better.
Makes Mac king of the hill
When I moved back to iMac after a couple of years wandering the MS/Linux/BSD wilderness and was grief stricken with the removal of QuickTime picture viewer - after struggling with all the wannabes I stumbled over Photostices and suddenly the Mac be came my mancine of choice again- full size , fit the screen in their proper poposition move annd adjusted at will. Frameless to give you reel picture control— I love you Photostickies, keep it uo you. Have a winner - Keith
Not Keeping Up
I love PhotoStickies and have used it to serve up my favorite webcams in separate windows. Unfortunately it hasn’t been updated to current systems and no longer maintains sizes and positions of webcam images—when they refresh they go back to an overscanned size. Too bad.
This release brings full support for M1-based Macs and improves the appearance of the _Inspector_ palette. It also updates the localizations and reduces the bandwidth used for webcams.
