iPad
Your iPad becomes a calm family hearth: your own photos, quotes, reminders and the day's events drift slowly by, one at a time. No feeds, no notifications.
Carousel turns your iPad into a calm family hearth.
Prop it on a shelf or kitchen counter and it slowly drifts through the things
that matter to your household — your own family photos, a few hand-picked
quotes, and the day's reminders and calendar events — one at a time, with a
gentle cross-fade. No feeds. No notifications. No decisions. Just one calm
thing at a time, brightening at breakfast and dimming at night.
It's the opposite of a screen that demands to be read. It's a quiet companion
for a room.
YOUR PHOTOS, STAYING YOURS
• Pick individual photos or whole albums straight from your library.
• Your photos never leave your device — Carousel only keeps a reference and
shows them; nothing is uploaded.
• Each photo can carry a subtle caption with its date and place.
• Portrait photos are shown whole on a soft blurred bed, never with a head
cropped off. An optional smart crop can fill the screen instead, using
on-device vision to keep faces and subjects in frame.
THE DAY, GENTLY SURFACED
• Connect Calendar and Reminders to let the day's events and to-dos drift in
at the right time — including birthdays and anniversaries.
• Choose exactly which calendars and which reminder lists feed the display.
• A dial sets how often the day's events appear versus photos and quotes.
• Events and reminders sit on their own calm card so they're easy to notice.
• Everything is read live and shown — never stored, never sent anywhere.
WORDS WORTH KEEPING
• Add your own quotes and choose from four quiet typefaces.
• Import a whole file of quotes at once.
CALM BY DESIGN
• A single warm accent shifts from amber by day to slate blue at night.
• Set the pace — from a few seconds to several minutes per moment.
• A text-size dial scales every word so it reads from across the room.
• Respects Reduce Motion and Dynamic Type.
• Bilingual: French (Québécois) and English throughout.
Designed for iPad. Everything you add stays on your device — no accounts, no
tracking, nothing sent to a server.
