“if we are to get people appreciating nfts as art we should go for it”

Nft Folder is an open-source cc0 tool for viewing high-resolution artworks.

Available on the App Store for iOS, macOS, visionOS, and tvOS.

• View art without social or financial distractions.
• Play locally generated Art Blocks fullscreen, picture-in-picture, or as a screensaver.
• Download all nfts for any Ethereum address (currently only on macOS).

Background

Nft Folder started as a hackathon project and competed for Nouns prize at ETHGlobal Instanbul in November 2023.

It was funded for 5 ETH in December 2023 via Garden Round as an nft downloader app for macOS.

Current form

Only on macOS

• Download all nfts for any Ethereum address.
• Grid of over 700 featured collections ready to be downloaded without manually pasting an address.

macOS, iOS, visionOS, tvOS

• 120 Art Blocks collections bundled for offline generation.

🌟 Evolution

Direction

• Combine Art Blocks generation and nft files downloading into a unified viewing experience, consistent across all platforms.
• Imagine Apple’s native Photos app where you can browse thousands of art collections — both generating offline, and ones requiring high-res file downloads.
• No distractions, only high-resolution art.

Specific deliverables

• A unified in-app viewer for both offline generated and downloaded items.
• Add support for Tezos and Solana collections.
• Enable offline generating for all 700+ Art Blocks collections. The 120 collections available now were easier to integrate since they work well with any player window aspect ratio.
• iOS and macOS widgets for ambient viewing.

The evolution is expected to take 3-6 months.
