Some people aren't at your desk.

They're across the room. Across the city. Across the country. Or simply busy living their own day.

Hangly Hearts is a desktop photo frame app that gives your favorite memories a quiet place on your screen. Choose a photo. Pick a frame. Keep family photos and loved ones visible at the top of your display.

It moves gently when you touch it, then settles back into place, like a small keepsake hanging beside you. Nothing demanding. Nothing distracting. Just someone you love, a little closer.

Lucky charms, still here.

Hangly Hearts isn't only about photographs. Traditional-inspired charms remain part of the experience, for when you want a little extra luck on your desk.

A desktop photo widget that stays out of the way

Hangly Hearts keeps memories on your desktop without getting in the way of your actual work. Your photo frame hangs quietly until you reach for it.

Your work stays clickable

Only the photo or charm responds to your pointer. Everything else on your screen continues to work normally.

No unnecessary animation

When your hanging keepsake stops moving, Hangly Hearts stops drawing it. No pointless animation running continuously in the background.

Works across your screens

Use Hangly Hearts across your displays and move your keepsakes wherever you want them. Your preferred position is remembered.

Stay visible, stay out of the way

Send your keepsake behind your windows when you want it quieter. Bring it forward when you want that little reminder again.

One purchase. No subscription.

You shouldn't need a monthly payment to keep a photo of someone you love on your screen.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hangly Hearts?

Hangly Hearts is a lightweight desktop photo frame app for Mac and Windows. It keeps photos of your loved ones and favorite memories visible at the top of your screen — a personal desktop companion, not a social feed.

Is Hangly Hearts a digital photo frame for my computer?

Yes. Hangly Hearts works like a digital photo frame that stays on your desktop. Choose a favorite photo, pick a beautiful frame, and your keepsake hangs quietly from the top of your display while you work.

Can I display family photos on my desktop?

Yes. With Pro, upload your own images, choose decorative frames — hearts, circles, stars, and more — and keep up to five personalized photo keepsakes on your Mac or Windows desktop.

Does it work on Mac and Windows?

Hangly Hearts is available on Mac today. Windows builds are finished and coming soon — one Pro purchase will cover both platforms when Windows launches. Download the free Mac tier to try the Hangly Heart and lucky charms first.

Can I customize photo frames?

Pro unlocks custom photo frames for your desktop. Upload a photo, pick a frame style, adjust the crop, and save it as a keepsake that hangs from the top of your screen.

Does it work on multiple monitors?

Yes. Hangly Hearts is designed for multi-monitor setups and remembers where your keepsakes are positioned across displays and desktop spaces.

Will it distract me while I work?

It is designed to be quiet. Your photo frame only responds when you interact with it, and unnecessary animation stops when it becomes still. Clicks pass through everywhere else.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Pro is a one-time purchase. There is no recurring subscription to keep your memories on your desktop.

Are my photos public?

No. Your photographs stay on your computer for your personal desktop experience — not a social feed, public profile, or ad platform.
