Turn any iPhone or iPad into a living picture frame — your photos, on permanent view.
Pane plays your chosen photos as a calm, full-screen slideshow. Group photos into albums, pick the pace and transitions, and let Night Mode dim the screen or show a clock after dark. Everything runs on your device.
Create a group on the home screen, open it, tap the + button, and choose photos from your library. The photos you pick are added to that group.
Open a group and tap play. The app stays awake while playing so it can run as a frame. Tap once to show the controls, or swipe up to exit.
Yes. Open Settings (the gear icon) to set how long each photo stays, the transition style — including the slow Ken Burns pan — and whether photos play in order, by date, or shuffled.
During the hours you choose, the frame lowers its brightness and can show a quiet clock instead of photos, then returns to the slideshow in the morning.
So it can show the photos you choose. Your photos stay on your device — they are never uploaded or shared. See the privacy policy below.
Place names come from the location saved in the photo itself. If a photo has no saved location, no place is shown. You can turn the info bar off in Settings.

Pane is built to keep your photos private. The app does not have user accounts, does not show ads, and contains no analytics or tracking. The developer does not collect any personal data from you.
The app accesses your photo library only to display the photos you choose. Those photos are shown on your device and are never uploaded to any server, sent to the developer, or shared with anyone.
If a photo contains location information and you turn on the info bar, the app converts that photo's coordinates into a readable place name using Apple's geocoding service. Those coordinates are handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. No location data is sent to the developer or any other third party.
