Sora Frame
An old tablet on the shelf can show family photos all day once Sora Frame feeds it. The slideshow runs in any browser with soft cross-fades, a large clock, date, and weather widget, and it keeps the screen awake, even on iPads and phones. Install it to the home screen like an app, then pick what plays: every photo or a single folder, nested folders included. The library takes photos by drag and drop or the Upload button, builds folder covers from their own pictures, moves photos with a drag, deletes a multi-selection in one go, and offers an optional Google Photos import. JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and iPhone HEIC files are accepted, and only a resized copy is stored. Notes slip a message like a visit reminder into the rotation, with up to four photos, a date range, an optional event countdown, and a choice of eight memory-book layouts. Each frame or family member gets a PIN limited to chosen folders, and a new frame pairs by scanning a QR code or opening an address that carries the PIN. The interface speaks English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic, and keyboard shortcuts cover play, next, fullscreen, and photo info. A living room shelf, a grandparent's tablet, or an office desk display makes a fine home for it. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
