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.

Real app screens

See the FollowFrame workflow at a glance.

These are sanitized screens from the real Windows app: playback, settings, refresh, and the private first-run state.

Start privately

Connect inside the app on first launch. The download includes no account, tokens, browser profile, or cloud relay.

Personal signal. Local by design.

FollowFrame keeps the source session on your machine and avoids common public-site data exposures.

Read the full privacy policy

Your login stays on this PC

Connect inside FollowFrame with your own local session. No Instagram account is bundled with the app.

Diagnostics remain local

Runtime reports stay in the local app-data folder instead of being published or uploaded.

Public screens are sanitized

Website assets demonstrate the real interface without including private Instagram media.

No session material ships

The public download and website contain no browser profiles, tokens, cookies, or saved sessions.

Bring the relay to your desktop.

Portable single EXE for Windows x64. No installer, no account bundle, no extras.

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-0.3.9-win32-x64.exe" -Algorithm SHA256

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

$expected = "E480E64A3920D477A2F0AA558895C1912FA8062923DD718BF027F1E64D0B0214"; $actual = (Get-FileHash ".\FollowFrame-Single-Exe-0.3.9-win32-x64.exe" -Algorithm SHA256).Hash; if ($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.

Install with WinGet

Prefer Windows Package Manager? The public package points to this same 0.3.9 EXE and published checksum.

winget install --id Socoliuc.FollowFrame --exact --source winget

Short notes.

Will Windows warn on first launch?

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

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 product exploration, download, and support click events. The download server keeps daily aggregate EXE and checksum delivery outcomes without cookies, request metadata, 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.
