PhotoDesk includes a variety of statistics to help you better understand your account. The Performance Statistics gives you information to assess how your account has been performing.
Content Analysis will give you insights into your own content. Which tags, mentions, or filters gained the most comments or the most likes. Which users are the most active commenters or likers on your images. Which images are highest rated and which images seem to continuously gain new likes.
Audience Measurement is the key to better content. See what your followers are sharing and what they're interested in. Which of your followers or commenters are big on Instagram, which tags are they using, which words, mentions and filters do they prefer.
Important: PhotoDesk 5 uses a different way to access the Instagram Servers than previous versions of PhotoDesk. This new way offers far more possibilities (as can be observed by all the new features in PhotoDesk 5) but it can also be changed or disabled by Instagram on short notice.
This means that PhotoDesk 5 may stop working at any time due to outside influences (Instagram). If it stops, I'll try my best to get it back to working as fast as possible.
The service may also be cancelled by Instagram at any time. In that case, if I see no way to get the app working again, I reserve the right to cancel all existing subscriptions. In that case, all current, running subscriptions will be refunded. I.e. If you subscribed to PhotoDesk on the 1th of March and Instagram disables the service on the 29th of March, you will be refunded for the complete month of March (minus a 50cent transaction fee).
Try the app and see for yourself whether it works for you
Developing quality macOS apps as a single developer is tricky. The market has become so small that a one-time fee does not necessarily generate enough income to sustain a single developer (me).
The current version of PhotoDesk has long stopped paying the bills. Thus I had to give up indie development and go back to a regular job in 2016. However, I still wanted to make a better PhotoDesk because I believe my customers deserve something better. So I set out to write a new PhotoDesk in my spare time.
I worked on it every evening after work, every weekend, every vacation, every public holiday. Building a full featured app like PhotoDesk in the spare time is unbelievable hard. It was really, really frustrating, tearing me up from the inside.
PhotoDesk 5 uses a new, private, way to access the Instagram service / API. Instagram can change or disable these services on short notice. This means that PhotoDesk 5 may stop working at any time due to outside influences (Instagram). If it stops, I'll try my best to get it back to working as fast as possible. However, it may be that they turn it off and PhotoDesk becomes useless.
Due to these constraints, I think it is best to make PhotoDesk a subscription. Should Instagram ever close their service, your subscription will also be cancelled. This means that you never paid for a software that becomes obsolete afterwards.
In addition to that, I think that this model will generate enough income to allow me to continuously improve PhotoDesk with new features and bugfixes.
With PhotoDesk 5 I've already invested heavily in terms of time, and I really want to continue supporting the product, adding new features, making it better. But this only works if the app generates enough income to at least pay one developer.
PhotoDesk is a native macOS app using Apple's newest technologies. Only the statistics feature of PhotoDesk uses some web technologies for displaying content
PhotoDesk has specifically been developed for Apple's macOS platform in order to utilize all of the platforms features. Porting this over to Windows would be too much work.
Yes, you can open multiple PhotoDesk windows at the same time and each window can display the news for a different Instagram account.
PhotoDesk requires at least macOS 10.12: Sierra.
No, there's no iPad version yet as I feel that the official Instagram app - even on an iPad - can support this use case much better. I want to focus on best of class macOS support.
Have a look at the official roadmap. However, keep in mind that it is subject to change depending on sudden bugs or newly introduced Instagram features.
Instagram has more than 100 developers working on their app while I am a single developer. It is physically not possible for me to support each and every feature that Instagram offers.
When you start PhotoDesk 4, a window will open with a coupon code that you can use to discount purchasing PhotoDesk 5.
Please use the contact form on this website to contact me with detailed information (your email address, your name) so that I can take the necessary steps to perform the refund.
PhotoDesk 4 has been removed from sale. Instagram announced that they will disable the API that PhotoDesk 5 requires beginning in June 2018. This means that existing customers of PhotoDesk 4 will be able to continue using the app until June. From that point on, PhotoDesk 4 will stop working.
Developing PhotoDesk 5 was an insane amount of work. Connecting to this completely different Instagram service was only possible by also rewriting the whole PhotoDesk app. Porting it back to PhotoDesk 4 would be almost as much work as building PhotoDesk 5 in the first place.
