My wife and I have our Apple TV screensaver set to favorites photo album. Except we don’t update it much so it was getting boring.

Enter the solution to any and every problem (can you guess?) —em dash— AI!

Introducing imagemine → →

Try it by running `uvx imagemine path/to/photo.jpg`

At its heart, imagemine is a simple “ask claude for a short surrealist story based on the input photo” then “have nano banana generate a new image from the story and source image” script.

imagemine has 35+ built-in style prompts included that get selected at random or you can add your own (one-off cli flag or added to store).

Sure it might be slop, but it's your slop, curated with your magnificent taste.

The kicker is that you can configure an input and output Photos album (if you’re on a Mac) so that my old favorites album is source material and my TV is now set to the new album.

imagemine includes optional launchd (Mac’s cron, to oversimplify) so this whole thing can be run automatically on a schedule. Set it, forget it, give Anthropic and Google your money on autopilot.

If you use it, I’d love to hear feedback!
