history
Project history and usage
Slideshower for macOS is a folder-oriented slideshow application for randomized, full-screen presentation of photos and videos.
Project history
Pawel Trybulski created Slideshower after unsuccessfully searching in October 2023 for a straightforward way to run a randomized photo slideshow on a Mac without using Photos. The official About page, published in December 2023, presents the application as a direct response to that missing workflow.
Adoption history
Slideshower developed as a lightweight macOS utility for users who want folder-based slideshows without importing images into Photos. Subsequent development broadened the original random full-screen viewer with saved slideshow documents, multiple layouts, music, transitions, video playback and export, overlays, and live folder monitoring.
How it is used
Users select a folder, optionally include nested folders, choose sequential or shuffled playback, and present images or videos full-screen or in grid layouts. Slideshows can include music, transitions, overlays, and saved `.slideshow` documents.
Why package nerds care
Slideshower fills a narrow macOS utility gap: it works directly with folders and offers randomized presentation without requiring a managed photo library. Homebrew Cask distribution also makes the otherwise independently distributed application scriptable to install.
