Share from Messages or Photos
Family members share a photo straight from the iOS share sheet — no saving, no re-uploading.
The family picture frame that's already in the living room
Send a photo. It's on Mom's TV in minutes.
NostalPic turns Apple TV into a private picture frame the whole family can fill from their iPhones — from the next room or across the country.
From Sarah
just now
On Mom's TV today
Your photo arrived
You took 4,000 photos last year. When did you last see one? NostalPic puts them where you'll actually see them: the biggest screens in the house.
Rescue photos from the family group chat
The photo makes the trip. You both feel it land.
When a great photo lands in the group chat, it usually dies there. With NostalPic, anyone in the family can send it straight to the TV — and know it was seen.
It appears on the TV in minutes
The photo joins the frame's rotation, labeled with who sent it — "From Sarah."
The sender knows the moment it arrived
Display receipts close the loop: "On Mom's TV today." (And whoever's watching can heart a photo right from the Siri Remote.)
Every TV in your house, a gallery of the people you love
Every room, its own memories.
The best screen in your house is off 20 hours a day. Hang something on it. Those big, mounted, idle TVs become a gallery you curate — the family room shows vacations, the office shows the kids. One library, a curated and ordered queue for each Apple TV, all managed from your iPhone.
How it works
For your living room — or one 2,000 miles away.
For your own living room
Open NostalPic on your Apple TV and it shows a short code. Enter the code in the iPhone app, pick or create a frame, and choose the photos each room should show. No sign-in on the TV, nothing to configure with the remote.
For your parents' TV, from anywhere
Set up Mom's TV over a phone call: she opens NostalPic on her Apple TV, reads you the code, and you do the rest from your iPhone. Invite siblings as senders. After that, she does nothing — new photos just appear.
The honest question
Why not just the screensaver?
Isn't this just the Apple TV screensaver?
The screensaver shows what an algorithm picks from an album. NostalPic shows what your family deliberately sent to that room, in order, with attribution, minutes after they sent it.
Why not just AirPlay it?
AirPlay needs you in the room, on the same network, holding the phone. NostalPic works from another time zone.
Private by design
A picture frame, not a social network.
Invited senders only
Only people you invite can send. Remove a sender or a photo anytime.
No feeds, no ads
No feed. No ads. Just the people you love. Photos never leave the family.
No social mechanics
No likes counter, no follower graph, no strangers. Your TV is a frame, not a timeline.
Questions
Wondering about something?
What senders need, how pairing works, what it costs, whether Android family members can send (not yet — senders need an iPhone with NostalPic) — it's all in the FAQ.
