Vista Frame
Photo frame & Smart-home view
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Vista Frame turns your iPhone or iPad — into a beautiful smart photo frame that does more than just show pictures.
Your Photos, Your Way
Display your entire photo library, hand-picked albums, or photos from a specific date range. Choose the order — newest first, oldest first, or shuffle — and dial in the perfect interval from 5 to 120 seconds. Smooth transitions include crossfade, slide, push, zoom, a cinematic 3D flip, and a random mix that keeps every rotation feeling fresh. Ken Burns animated pan-and-zoom gives still photos natural motion, and an optional clock and photo date overlay keep you oriented at a glance.
Live Weather, Always Visible
A compact weather chip sits in the corner of the frame showing your current temperature and conditions. Tap it to open a full weather screen with animated sky, today's highs and lows, feels-like temperature, humidity, wind speed, UV index, and a 7-day forecast — all powered by Apple's WeatherKit.
Smart Home Controls at Your Fingertips
Vista Frame doubles as a home control panel. Tap the house icon to see all your HomeKit accessories grouped by room: lights with brightness sliders, locks, garage doors, fans, and switches. Motion-triggered camera feeds pop up automatically when a doorbell or sensor fires — so you never miss who's at the door.
Apple Music Built In
Search and play any song, album, or playlist from Apple Music right from the frame. Shuffle, repeat, skip, and add songs to playlists without ever leaving the app.
Guest WiFi Made Simple
Show a scannable QR code on screen so guests can join your Wi-Fi instantly — no more spelling out passwords.
Also on Apple TV
Vista Frame TV is a full companion app for your Apple TV. Enjoy the same stunning slideshow, weather screen, HomeKit room controls, music player, and guest Wi-Fi QR code — all navigated with the Siri Remote.
Night Mode
Set a sleep schedule and the screen dims automatically at night. A large, dim-red nightstand clock replaces the slideshow so you can check the time without disturbing anyone.
