Setting up TwineLine

TwineLine has three parts: your photo libraries, a server that builds your slideshows, and displays that show them. Any web browser works as a display — we also offer a lightweight app for Google TV and Fire TV that provides a cleaner, full-screen experience.

There are two ways to run the server:

  • Your computer — free forever, runs when your computer is on
  • Cloud hosting — about $7/month, always on, accessible from anywhere

We recommend starting with cloud — the first two months are free, and you can switch to your own computer anytime.
