In one line

Hangly Hearts is a desktop photo frame app for Mac and Windows that keeps photos of loved ones visible at the top of your screen.

In a paragraph

Hangly Hearts is a lightweight desktop app that lets you hang personal photographs and interactive decorative charms from the top edge of your screen. Upload a photo, choose a frame, and give someone you love a quiet place in your day. The rope is a real physics simulation. The keepsake stretches, swings, flicks and settles naturally. It captures your pointer only where the charm or frame is; everywhere else, clicks pass through to your work. When the rope stops moving, unnecessary animation stops too.

Story angles

Hangly Hearts sits at the intersection of personal software and quiet design: a desktop companion for long-distance relationships, remote workers who miss home, pet owners, and anyone who wants a favorite face nearby without opening a social app. The physics-based rope and click-through behavior make it feel native to the desktop rather than a widget pasted on top.
