Frame App
What is Bruceography Frame?
Frame turns any screen into a fullscreen slideshow of your photos. Open it on a TV, tablet, or monitor and it connects directly to your gallery.
Access it at bruceography.ca/frame — or install it as an app on your device.
Setting Up the Slideshow
Sign in with the same username and password as your gallery.
Open bruceography.ca/frame on the device you want to use as a frame — TV browser, tablet, or computer.
Sign in with your gallery username and password. Tick Remember me.
On the Setup screen, tap folders to select them as the slideshow source. You can pick more than one.
Use the speed slider to set how long each photo stays on screen (5 seconds to 60 seconds).
Tap Start Slideshow. Your photos will begin cycling in fullscreen.
Slideshow Controls
Tap anywhere during the slideshow to show the controls overlay.
Tap the screen to show/hide the control overlay.
Tap ⏸ Pause to hold the current photo. Tap again to resume.
Tap ← → to manually skip to the previous or next photo.
Tap ⚙ Settings to go back to the setup screen and change folders or speed.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode pauses the slideshow during quiet hours and resumes automatically in the morning.
On the Setup screen, toggle Sleep mode on.
Set your sleep time (e.g. 10:00 PM) and wake time (e.g. 7:00 AM).
During sleep hours, the screen dims and shows a minimal clock. The slideshow resumes automatically at the wake time.
