βš™οΈ Configuration

1. Create two macOS Photos albums: one for source photos, one for output (make output a Shared Album so Apple TV can see it) 2. Configure albums: 

imagemine --config

Set INPUT_ALBUM and DESTINATION_ALBUM

3. Schedule via launchd (runs every N minutes): 

imagemine --launchd 30

Writes ~/Library/LaunchAgents/imagemine.plist and prints the launchctl command

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/imagemine.plist

4. On Apple TV: Photos app β†’ Shared Albums β†’ select your output album β†’ Set as Screen Saver

Apple TV Pitfalls

  • Output album must be a Shared Album for Apple TV to see it
  • New images appear in the screensaver automatically once added to the shared album
  • Use --config-path if you want a non-default DB location with launchd

    • πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

  • A new Claude description is generated on every run β€” no caching of stories
  • --fresh picks from least-used styles (good for variety over time)
  • --session-svg saves a styled SVG of the terminal session alongside the output image
  • macOS only for Photos/launchd features; core image generation works on any platform
