CLUSTER PHOTO-DIGITAL-FRAME · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-03-28

Legacy tablet photo frames

This cluster consists of apps that repurpose old Android tablets as digital photo frames, typically displaying slideshows of local images or photos synced from cloud storage. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from — fewer than five dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster likely predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are all tied at zero stars: smart-photo-frame, Digital Photo Frame with Music, and OpenPhotoFrame.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
