From download to a calmer desktop.

Install and verify

1. Download the current Windows x64 EXE and save it in the folder where you want to keep FollowFrame.
2. Optionally compare its SHA-256 checksum with the value on the download page.
3. Open the portable app. Windows may show a reputation prompt while the current release remains unsigned.

Choose a source

Personal Instagram is the original, experimental connector. Sign in only inside FollowFrame's private source window; the session stays on this Windows user account.

For your own media, choose Add local folder on the first screen. Pick a folder with JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, MP4, or WebM files; FollowFrame makes it the active source and shows the supported media.

FollowFrame reads files in place without copying or uploading them. New folders exclude subfolders; Include subfolders in Settings expands that scope. The player shows up to 500 supported files, newest first by date modified. A scan warning means some files could not be read or scanned in time.

If the folder appears empty, use Refresh folder after adding files. Turn on Include subfolders in Settings when your media sits below the selected folder.

Set your pace

Choose refresh timing, photo duration, sound, start-on-login, and always-on-top behavior in Settings. The app plays one active source at a time.

If you use Start on login, keep the EXE in a stable folder. After moving it or opening a newer EXE, turn Start on login off and Apply, then turn it on and Apply. This updates Windows to launch that file.
