Instagrille is an interesting mashup between a desktop app and a Web app, and runs in its own window, using a free platform called Pokki. It won't let you post new photos to Instagram, but you can browse popular photos, nearby photos, and your timeline (if you log in). You can click on a photo to see a larger version of it, too.

Instagrille offers a fun and compelling way to enjoy your Instagram feed without reaching for a smartphone. If you're constantly draining your phone's battery oohing and aahing at your friends' beautiful photos, Instagrille can be a nice way to view that virtual art gallery on a bigger monitor.

Note: The Download button takes you to the vendor's site, where you can download the latest version of the software.
