Instatine

Instatine is a cool little OS X utility that lets you connect to your Instagram account right from your desktop. No need to mess around with your browser!

Explore Your Instagram Feed

With the Instatine app, you can scroll through your wall, check out posts, and follow new accounts. Just a heads up, you can't post new content using this app. It's built on the Electron platform and has handy hotkeys to make everything smoother.

Simple Sign-In Process

When you first open Instatine, it asks for your Instagram credentials. If you're new to Instagram, no worries! You can sign up for free right in the app. Once you're logged in, it loads your feed so you can easily browse through all those posts.

Post Details at a Glance

As you look through each post, you'll see the image, likes count, who posted it, and any comments too. You can also favorite posts or share what you think about them!

Create Embed Codes Easily

Instatine even lets you generate embed codes that you can copy for use in other apps. Plus, if any images are inappropriate, there's an option to report them—all without leaving the app.

User-Friendly Search Tool

This app comes with a simple search tool to help find specific accounts. It even gives follow suggestions based on where you're located! You can check notifications and see what's going on with your account.

Edit Your Profile Settings

If you want to tweak your Instagram profile, Instatine makes it easy! You can change account details or passwords and manage authorized apps and email preferences.

No Posting Allowed!

A quick reminder: while Instatine is great for browsing Instagram content, posting new images isn’t an option here.

Your Desktop Alternative for Instagram

In summary, Instatine is a smart choice if you want to interact with your Instagram account from your desktop without hogging resources on a heavy web browser. Plus, there are keyboard shortcuts like Command + Backspace to go back or Command + R to refresh—super convenient!
