🖼️ Photos from your shared album

Callie turns your screens into a photo frame using a shared album: an iCloud Shared Album or a Google Photos album, whichever your family already uses. The slideshow starts when the board has been idle for a while; pick up the remote (or tap) and the week is back.

Apple Photos

Use an iCloud Shared Album from the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

3Paste it into Callie In my.callie.so → Display → Photos, paste the album link.

Anyone invited to the album can add photos straight from their phone, and they'll show up on the screens.

Google Photos

Open the album in Google Photos, tap Share, then Create link (or Copy link if it already has one). Paste that photos.app.goo.gl link into Callie in the same place. Anyone with the link can view the album, so share it only with people you trust.

Callie shows the first 300 photos in the album's sort order. For a big album, sort it by Recently added (or Newest first) in Google Photos so new photos are the ones that play.

Private by designPhotos load directly from Apple or Google to your devices. They never pass through or rest on Callie's servers.
