Open a connected USB drive and choose a photo or video. Basic single-file playback works offline, without an account or a media server.
Comfortably simple.
Large text, visible focus and familiar arrow, OK and Back controls. Choose a slideshow speed and show the whole photo or fill your screen.
Your photos stay yours
A viewer.
A place to pause.
Immich sends photos directly to your TV. USB files stay on the drive. Our pairing service briefly relays encrypted connection details; it does not host your photo library.
FrameNook reads your media. It does not upload, edit or delete it.

A few good questions
Before you begin.
Where are my photos stored?
On your own Immich server or USB drive. The TV temporarily loads photos to display them. We do not provide cloud photo storage or a photo upload service.
Does every Samsung TV support FrameNook?
The preview targets Tizen 6.5 or newer (2022 and later). Basic photo-library and USB flows have been tested in official 2022–2026 Samsung emulators. Physical TV and commercial billing compatibility validation are still pending. USB video formats depend on your model. Store availability will list the supported models when released.
Is this Samsung Art Mode or a screensaver?
No. FrameNook is a photo-viewing app that runs while open. It does not replace Samsung Art Mode, the TV home screen or the system screensaver.
Can I buy it now?
Not yet. Payments are disabled in the preview and the Samsung TV Store listing has not been released. The preview lets you review the interface; it is not a store installation.
Do I need an Immich server to use USB?
No. The USB source works independently. Pro continuous folder playback will require occasional internet access for purchase or trial verification, but your USB files are never uploaded.
