About:
PhotoStickies is a lightweight utility that places persistent photo widgets directly onto the macOS desktop. It supports displaying images from your local library, folders, or live camera feeds, allowing for dynamic visual overlays. This tool enhances personalization and monitoring workflows by keeping visual content accessible without occupying window space.
Key Features:
  • Live camera feed integration on desktop
  • Support for local images and dynamic folders
  • Customizable widget borders and opacity
  • Lightweight resource usage
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring a workspace or entryway via live camera feed
  • Keeping a visual reference (e.g., mood board or diagram) always visible
Alternatives:
  • Live Wallpaper – Native dynamic wallpapers are less interactive and do not support live camera feeds.
  • Wallpaper Wizard – Focuses on batch wallpaper management rather than real-time widget overlays.
