Manage Flickr favorites with a better desktop view.
Photo Stream Assistant shows the photos you have favorited on Flickr as a browsable grid on a Mac, with the photographer, the metadata and the full-size view a click away, and puts a heart on every photo of someone else's, in your feed, Explore, groups and galleries, to fave it in one click. Favorites are included in the free app.
Favorites are easier to review when they live in a dedicated Mac workflow instead of scattered browser tabs. Browse, preview, and manage favorites with less friction.
Favorites become messy over time
When favorites are part of your research, inspiration, or curation workflow, you need a faster way to browse them, preview them, and decide what still belongs.
- Browse favorites from a dedicated view built for larger collections.
- Fave someone else's photo in one click from the heart on its thumbnail, in your feed, Explore, contacts, group pools and galleries. The heart is already filled on photos you have faved.
- Preview favorites in slideshow workflows that support quick decisions.
- Keep your saved inspiration organized as part of the wider library workflow.

Frequently asked questions
Can I browse favorites in fullscreen or preview mode?
Yes. Favorites workflows include preview and slideshow experiences built for faster review.
Can I fave a photo without opening it?
Yes. Every thumbnail of someone else's photo has a heart that faves it in one click, and it is filled when you already have. In My Favorites the same heart removes a favorite. In a slideshow or a photo's details, press F. Select several photos to fave or unfave them all at once.
Is favorites management part of the free app?
Yes. Favorites browsing and management are in the free app.
Does this connect with the rest of my library workflow?
Yes. Favorites are treated as part of the overall organization and review system, not as an isolated feature.
