Stuff to look at, from your favorite places.
Follow what you love, without a social network.
“Words? We don’t need those.”
A personal gallery of everything you follow
LightWatch is an app for following the stuff you like to look at. It ignores the words and shows just images and videos from the blogs, artists, and sites you care about. It's as simple as that — cool stuff to look at, whenever you check the app.
Most websites already publish updates in a format LightWatch can follow. For sites that don't, you can build a feed from a webpage or create your own feed using third-party tools or your own code. If it's publicly accessible on the web, you can probably get it into LightWatch.
