Flume for Mac Brings Instagram to Your Desktop, Uploading Included

 

 

OS X: Browsing Instagram on the web works well enough, but it’s a fairly minimal experience and you can’t post photos through your browser. Now with the newly updated desktop Instagram client Flume 2.0, you can.

 

Flume offers a glossy, tasteful interface to easily browse your feed on your desktop, interact with your friends’ photos, follow your notifications, send direct messages, and yes, even upload your pics.

 

There is a possible catch, though: Last year Instagram announced that they were no longer going to allow third-party applications access the Instagram feed. Developers had a deadline of June 1, 2016 to make the cut, and it seems like Flume is safe for now—it works!—but it’s not clear if Flume will work indefinitely. It’s free though, so no harm in trying it out.
