The screen saver reduces brightness to minimum and sets background to black. - **App starts with black screen:** If launched during the screen saver time window, the screen dims automatically. Press and hold the screen (~1 second) to temporarily restore brightness, then open settings to disable the screen saver. - **No albums or photos shown:** The app needs photo library permission. Grant it in System Settings - Privacy & Security - Photos - PhotoPanel. - **Older devices not supported:** The app uses the latest Swift and Apple frameworks to ensure forward compatibility and active development.
