Hangly Hearts is a desktop photo frame for Mac that hangs your favourite photos from the top of your screen. Partners, family, pets, or memories you want nearby while you work. Unlike static widgets or social feeds, each keepsake swings on a real rope physics simulation. Grab it, flick it, let it settle. Clicks pass through everywhere else, so your desktop stays fully usable.
