FollowFrame / personal media frame

Your Instagram followed feed in a calm floating Windows frame.

Turn the accounts you already follow into a quiet, always-on-top 9:16 wall. Your Instagram session stays on your PC.

Start with the experimental Personal Instagram connector, or play your own images and videos from a local folder.

Three minutes to a calmer desktop

A clean first run, without the usual setup sprawl.

FollowFrame stays intentionally small: one portable app, one local session, and a focused media surface when you want it.

  1. 01

    Download the portable EXE

    One Windows x64 file. No installer or companion service.

  2. 02

    Connect inside FollowFrame

    Use your own local session only when you choose to start the relay.

  3. 03

    Set the pace

    Use the small playback console, refresh on demand, and keep work in focus.

A desktop surface designed for your peripheral vision.

FollowFrame is a private, always-ready media relay: real app windows, no browser tab takeover, and no cloud account layer.

01

A focused signal, not another browser tab.

Verify the SHA-256 after download if you want an extra integrity check. Download the checksum file.

Verify in PowerShell

Open PowerShell in the folder where you saved the EXE, then run:

Get-FileHash ".\FollowFrame-Single-Exe-0.3.7-win32-x64.exe" -Algorithm SHA256

Compare the returned hash with the SHA-256 shown above, or use this automatic check:

$expected = "CB9CA840D506BE73F8B9455B23666848A66D6044D522165CC8789E9131FEF685"; $actual = (Get-FileHash ".\FollowFrame-Single-Exe-0.3.7-win32-x64.exe" -Algorithm SHA256).Hash; if ($actual -eq $expected) { "Checksum verified." } else { "Checksum mismatch. Delete this file and download it again." }

It reports whether this downloaded EXE matches the published checksum.

Short notes.

Is FollowFrame for Instagram?

Yes. FollowFrame is built for viewing Instagram posts, Reels, photos, videos, and Stories from accounts you follow in a floating Windows desktop frame.

Do I need Node.js or an installer?

No. The public download is a single Windows x64 executable.

Will Windows warn on first launch?

It may. The current build is a portable Electron executable and can show an unsigned-app warning.

Does the app include an Instagram account?

No. First launch on a new Windows user needs a local Instagram login inside the app.

Is FollowFrame affiliated with Instagram or Meta?

No. FollowFrame is an independent desktop utility and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta.

What does the website analytics collect?

With permission, the site records a page view plus generic download/support click events. The download server also counts completed full EXE responses without cookies or visitor identifiers. Neither path sends Instagram account names, media URLs, or local paths. Website analytics permission can be reviewed or withdrawn at any time from Analytics settings in the footer.

Does the desktop app share usage statistics?

Not by default. An optional setting can share one anonymous active-use heartbeat per day using a random app ID, the FollowFrame version, and Windows/x64. It never includes an Instagram account, media, URLs, local paths, or diagnostics, and disabling it deletes the local anonymous ID.

Free core / independent development

Keep FollowFrame free and focused.

Voluntary support does not unlock features. Sponsor enquiries follow one-sponsor, website-only, privacy-respecting rules.
