Carousel turns your iPad into a calm family hearth
From the App Store SourceCarousel 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 and English throughout. Designed for iPad. Everything you add stays on your device — no accounts, no tracking, nothing sent to a server.
