Manage Flickr albums without losing momentum.
Photo Stream Assistant manages Flickr albums from a Mac: create and rename them, re-describe them, act on the photos inside one exactly as in the library (edit details, privacy, add to several albums or groups at once, set a location, delete, remove from the album), reorder the photos by dragging, set any photo as the cover, and reorder the albums themselves. Album renaming and the photo actions are free, ten photos at a time; reordering and covers are part of the one-time Pro Unlock.
Review album contents, select the photos that need changes, and launch updates directly from the album workflow instead of bouncing across separate Flickr screens.
Album workflows get slow quickly
Albums are often where cleanup work actually happens. When an album contains inconsistent metadata, privacy settings, or ordering issues, switching between views costs time and concentration.
- Review full album contents in a desktop layout built for selection and scanning.
- Every action the library offers, from inside the album: edit details with dates and a location, privacy, add to several albums or groups at once, set a location, delete.
- Select the whole album in one go, every page of it, not only the hundred on screen.
- Click a thumbnail to select it, shift-click for a range, double-click to open it: the same selection as the Finder.
- Reorder by dragging with the controls kept in reach, and a Done that asks before an unsaved order is lost.
- File albums into several collections at once, and photos into several galleries, favorites included, from one dialog with search.

Frequently asked questions
Can I edit multiple album photos at once?
Yes. Select photos inside an album and edit them together: details with dates and a location, privacy, add to albums or groups, set a location, delete. Pro Unlock adds curation: reordering photos, setting the cover, and reordering albums.
Can I add album photos to several other albums at once?
Yes. The album picker takes several albums in one go, or creates a new album from the selection, the same picker the library uses.
Does the app help with large albums?
That is exactly where the desktop workflow helps most. Larger albums benefit from the bigger overview and faster selection process.
Is this only for albums?
No. Albums are one part of a broader photo management workflow that also covers photos, collections, groups, and metadata editing.
