Digiframe

Your old iPad,
lit up again.

Photos, a clock, the weather, and what’s on today — on one screen, arranged the way you want it. Digiframe gives a device that’s sitting in a drawer something worth doing.

An iPad running Digiframe: a flip clock reading 09:41 with the date Tuesday, September 15, 2026, beside a photo of a Caribbean bay.
New in 2.0

One screen. Any widgets.

Digiframe used to make you choose. The clock was one screen, the weather another, the calendar a third. 2.0 replaces all of them with a single display system — pick a layout, drop in the widgets you want, and build as many screens as you like.

An iPad running Digiframe with the screen editor open over a Split layout: a Layout list with Split selected, then Full Screen and Full Screen with Sidebar; a First Pane holding Flip Clock, Minimal Clock and Date; and a Second Pane holding Photo.
  • Split Two equal panes side by side. A clock and the weather, or photos and today’s events.
  • Full Screen One widget, edge to edge. The quietest option, and the best one for photos.
  • Full Screen with Sidebar A main widget plus a narrow rail for something you want glanceable but small.

Nine widgets to arrange

Four clock faces — minimal, digital, analog and flip — plus photos, weather, calendar, date and a greeting. Stack several in one pane and a swipe moves between them.

As many screens as you want

Build a morning screen and an evening screen, or one per room, and swipe between them. The controls stay hidden until you tap, so there’s nothing on screen but the display itself.

Photos

In the order you meant.

Albums now have a real, stored order — one that stays put between launches and across devices. Set it once, and Sequential playback actually plays the sequence.

Four more things that used to be fixed are now yours to set, and every one of them is per album: a family album can drift slowly through whole photos while a landscape album fills the screen and cuts straight between shots.

An iPad running Digiframe as a full-screen slideshow of sea cliffs, with the date in the top-left corner, the time in the top-right, and the next calendar event, School run, in the bottom-left.
  • Photo order Manual, dragged into place · Oldest First · Newest First, both read from the date inside the photo
  • Playback Sequential or Random, at whatever speed suits the room
  • Fit Fill Screen for edge-to-edge, or Whole Photo so a portrait shot keeps its top and bottom
  • Zoom Off, Subtle or Standard — a slow push in, or a completely still frame
  • Transition Crossfade, Slide, or None for a clean cut
Cropping

It crops around the faces.

Filling a landscape screen with a portrait photo means losing something. Most frames take the middle and hope. Digiframe looks at the picture first — faces if it can find them, the visually prominent area if it can’t — and builds the crop around what the photo is actually of.

Centred cropTakes the middle of the frame, and the heads go over the top edge. This is what most photo frames do.
Fill Screen, in DigiframeThe same crop size, moved to keep both faces. Detection happens on your device, and it’s finding faces, not identifying anyone.
Whole PhotoOr skip cropping entirely. The full picture, letterboxed — a per-album setting, so you can have it both ways.

What else it shows

Everything below sits in the same layout system, so it can share a screen with your photos rather than replacing them.

Weather

Current conditions and the days ahead, from Apple Weather. Ask for your location once and it keeps itself current.

Calendar

What’s on today and next, read from the calendars you choose. Read-only — Digiframe never changes anything.

Photo overlays

Put the time, the date, or the temperature over a slideshow, in any of six corners. Pro.

Grid layout

Several photos at once instead of one at a time — better for a wall of small moments than a single large one. Pro.

iCloud albums

Build an album once and see it on your other devices. It syncs through your own iCloud — we can’t read it.

Twelve languages

English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, French, Arabic, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian and Haitian Creole — all fully translated, and switchable in the app.

Version 2.0

What’s new

The largest update since Digiframe launched. If you’re coming from 1.0, your albums and dashboards carry over — but the display side of the app has been rebuilt.

  • One display system. The Dashboard and the separate Clock, Weather and Calendar screens are now a single system. Choose a layout, add the widgets you want, and build as many screens as you like.
  • Three layouts. Split, Full Screen, and Full Screen with Sidebar.
  • Nine widgets. Four clock faces — minimal, digital, analog and flip — plus photos, weather, calendar, date and a greeting. Stack them in a pane and swipe to change.
  • Albums have a real photo order. Sort manually by dragging, or by oldest or newest first. Sequential playback now follows the order you set, and it stays put between launches and across devices.
  • Choose how photos fill the screen. Fill Screen, or Whole Photo so a portrait shot keeps its top and bottom.
  • Fill crops keep the subject. Digiframe finds the faces in a photo, on your device, and crops around them instead of the centre.
  • Zoom and transitions are yours to set. The slow zoom can be subtle or switched off, and photos can crossfade, slide, or cut.
  • Every photo setting is per album, so different albums can behave differently.
  • Fixes. A crash when opening albums created in an earlier version, cloud albums disappearing when iCloud was briefly unreachable, and the shuffled-photo-order bug some of you reported — all fixed.

Free, and Pro.

The photo frame is free, and it’s the whole photo frame — not a trial. Pro adds the display extras.

Free

Everything you need to run a photo frame.

  • Photo slideshows, with every playback setting — order, speed, fit, zoom and transition
  • Subject-aware cropping
  • Minimal clock, date and greeting widgets
  • All three layouts, and as many screens as you like
  • iCloud albums across your devices
  • All 12 languages

  • Grid layout for several photos at once

Subscription terms

Digiframe Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly and annually. The price is shown in your own currency inside the app before you buy anything — nothing is charged until you confirm.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple subscription settings; cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep Pro until the period you’ve paid for ends.
