New App: Dayframe - Everything you need to know
July 01, 2025
Functionality
So how does this app work? It’s really very simple. It’s a combination photo browser, screen saver, and photo slideshow application that weaves beautiful pictures on your Android device screen when you’re not using it. It does this by pulling photos off of a variety of social networks, including Flickr, Picasa (Google+), Facebook, Dropbox, Instagram, and other popular sites. When you use the app, it’ll show a photo, slide around for a moment, and then transition to the next one.
What makes it unique are the behind-the-scenes settings. You can sign into a number of services to pull your own personal photos. Or, if you’ve had enough of those, you can choose from a number of categories which will populate your feed with photos from others. From there you can set a timer that’ll play streams as a screen saver when you’re not using your phone, interact with the slideshow in a variety of different ways, or ignore all the social networking nonsense and just enjoy the photos. It’s your choice.
The last thing we’ll talk about in terms of functionality is the settings. You can customize it to run only when you want it to. Between the Timer function, the bandwidth settings, battery settings, and others, the stream will only go when you want it to.
How Can I Use This?
In terms of sheer usage, this app is all about making your device interesting even when you’re not using it. you’re able to use this to turn your device into a digital picture frame. If you can think of a place or reason to have a digital picture frame, then you can include it into the large number of reasons to have an application like this one.
Some uses that the developers include are using it at events to show off pictures, as a screen saver, as a digital picture frame for your desk or table, among others. It’s a very simple app but if you get creative you’re able to use it for quite a lot of things.

Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, this application is a huge step forward in the photo slideshow space. It has a great user interface, great options, and it’s a fun way to give your device something to do when it doesn’t have anything else to do. If you include the upcoming features like transition options, Daydream support, and (if it ever becomes available) Chromecast support,
