Slideshow with shuffle

Plays at your pace. Header pill shows what's on without breaking the frame.

Drop a folder, you're in

Drag onto the Dock icon, or ⌘O. WideEye scans and starts showing.

The boundaries
are the value.

Every feature WideEye doesn't have was a choice. The shape of the app is what's left when you remove everything an image viewer doesn't need.

“The window remembers its place; nothing else does.”
