About Mantel – Photo Widget

Put your own photos on your Home Screen. Mantel is a photo widget with no subscription: pick a few photos, and they rotate in a widget — your dog, your friends, last summer — right where you already look. No ads, no account, and nothing leaves your phone — except that Pro syncs your sets through your own iCloud (you can turn it off). Use it as a vision board, too: pick the photos of what you're working toward — the trip, the house, the finish line — and keep them on your Home Screen. ■ What it does (free) ・Pick photos with the system picker — Mantel never asks for access to your whole library ・One set of up to 12 photos ・A Small widget on your Home Screen that changes photo every hour ・Choose whether each photo fills the frame or fits inside it ・Add and remove photos any time ■ Mantel Pro (a one-time purchase, not a subscription) ・Medium, Large, and Extra Large widgets, as many as you like ・Unlimited sets — family, travel, pets — one set per widget ・Unlimited photos per set ・Rotation interval: every 15 minutes, hourly, every 6 hours, or daily ・Shuffle Reaching a limit never removes anything you already added. Only adding more stops. ■ Privacy Only the photos you pick are copied into the app. Your originals in Photos are untouched, and your photos are never uploaded anywhere. To improve the app, only anonymous usage (the app was opened, a widget was displayed) is sent — never your photos, and never your name, email or advertising ID. You can turn it off under Privacy in Settings. No ads. No subscription. No account.
