- Create Internet memes with Pictures from Old Movie Screenshots -

Old Talk Desktop is the macOS equivalent of an iOS app called Old Talk, which is already available at Apple’s App Store. Old Talk Desktop lets you create an Internet meme with ease. I mean, it doesn’t even require a picture of your own. Old Talk Desktop accesses the iCloud server with a pool of movie screenshots from old movies that have expired and then that are placed in the public domain. Unlike the iOS version, you can overlay as many text labels and comment boxes as you want over a movie screenshot you select. Also, the desktop version lets you submit your Internet memes to the public database hosted by the iCloud server so that other users can view them. Additionally, you can view and rate Internet memes created by other users.
