+Photostream
+=======
+
+Makes it easer to access photos from your Photo Stream on a Mac.
+
+This probably requires you to activate the Photo Stream in your iCloud
+System Preferences.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To get going:
+
+    photostream start <directory>
+
+This will start it syncing to the given directory. If you don't supply a
+directory, it will sync into `$HOME/Pictures/Photo Stream`.
+
+    photostream sync <directory>
+
+This will perform a one-off sync. This is what gets run by the background job.
+Again, if you don't supply a directory, the default will be used.
+
+    photostream stop
+
+This will stop the sync, and remove the background job. It won't, however,
+remove any of the linked files that it created. I'm afraid you'll need to do
+that yourself.
+
+
+How does it work?
+------
+
+When Photo Stream is active, the pictures actually get downloaded to your Mac,
+but in a hard-to-navigate nested directory structure of hashes.
+
+This tool just creates a new directory with hard links to all the files in that
+nested directory structure. It uses `launchd` to monitor when new photos appear
+and resyncs the directory any time a new photo appears on your computer.
+
+We have to use hard links so that the Finder will display the image with a
+thumbnail.
