Hi PH community! 👋 I built Portfoto because I kept seeing photographers and small business owners using their iPads to show work to clients — but the built-in Photos app is not designed for selling. Toolbars are visible, there's no pricing, no way to capture leads, and external displays just mirror a cluttered screen. Portfoto solves this: one tap to go fullscreen, one tap to show pricing, one tap to switch to your payment QR code. Triple-tap hides everything — clients see only your work. I run this as a solo developer. The app is free, no account needed, no tracking. Just download and use. Would love your feedback! 🙏

Love how clean the client experience is. One thing that would really help — adding a way to set a custom auto-advance timer per album so the slideshow keeps moving during slow traffic moments. Would be great for trade shows where I'm juggling multiple conversations.

The transitions feel really smooth and the auto-reverting QR trick is a smart way to keep things flowing during a client meeting. Going fullscreen the second you plug in HDMI is such a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel intentional.

The auto-revert on the dual QR codes is such a thoughtful touch, keeps the flow effortless for clients who just want to scan and move on. Clean execution all around.

Would love a way to set different transition styles per folder or client, some shoots call for that slow cross-fade while others feel snappier with a slide. A simple per-collection picker would make the whole showcase feel way more curated without adding clutter.
