"Everyone hangs photos of their family around the house. Nobody thought to put them on the screen you look at the most."
The digital photo frame is a reported $2.6 billion market because people want to be reminded of the people they love. Aura and Skylight charge $130 to $300 for a device that sits in one room.
Fondly is that feeling, free, on the surface you open all day, in the browser you already use, that travels with you. An infinite photo frame that goes wherever your browser goes.
Add Fondly to Chrome, pick your photos, and open a tab. That's it. No account, no feed, and in the free experience your photos never leave your device.
Drop in photos from your camera roll: your family, your wedding, your kids. They stay on your device, always.
Choose a gratitude prompt, a mantra, or write your own. One line that means something, greeting you with every tab.
A different photo every time. Your family behind the clock, every morning, every afternoon, every time.
The people you love filling the screen, a large clock, a line that means something, and today's intentions.
Open a tab and your family is there: a large clock, a line that lands, and today's intentions. A new photo greets you as the day goes on.
A single daily line sits under the clock: warm words, gratitude prompts, or a message from someone who loves you. Tap it for another.
Tap the photo and Fondly opens Moments: your pictures as a scrapbook, a cinema, or a timeline.
Shown with demo family photos. Your tabs show the people you add.
A minute with your people before the day starts, and another with them again before it ends.
Coffee, a croissant, and your family behind the clock before the day starts.
Tea, a warm lamp, and one more look at the people you love before you log off.
Your own photos glide behind the clock. A different one every tab, a different memory every time you open your browser.
A single line at the center of every tab. Choose from curated gratitude prompts, grounding mantras, or write your own intention for the day.
Your photos live on your device. The free experience never sends them to a server. Only the Pro albums you deliberately share or gift are stored, encrypted, behind private revocable links.
Build an album of your photos, add your words, and send a gift link. Your family opens their browser and sees you every day.
A new tab is the smallest unit of the day. Fondly is what happens when the people you love live inside it.
Personalized gifts are a $31 billion market because people want to feel remembered. Fondly makes it possible to give your family something they'll see every single day: one $29 Pro purchase on your side, nothing to ship, and free for them to receive.
Digital photo frames are beloved because they work. Fondly is the same feeling, without the hardware, in the browser you already own.

Fondly is new. Rather than invent five-star reviews, we would rather show you exactly what it does, and let it earn its place on your tabs.
No borrowed testimonials, no stock quotes. What you see on this page is the product, plainly. When real families have stories to tell, they'll be theirs, with their permission.
The gift flow, shared family albums, more ways to see your people: the direction is set and the work is visible on this page, labelled built or coming. Tell us what would make your day a little warmer, and it goes on the list.
Fondly comes from Plainly Productive, a studio building warm, private tools we actually want open in our own browsers. Your photos are the whole point, never the product we sell.
Make it yours. Add Fondly free and put your people on every tab.
Free to install. Your photos stay on your device. One install and your family is on every tab.
