Description
Put any kind of text on your Lock Screen (iPhone-only) or Home Screen so you won't miss it. It could be an important note, your goal, a list of tasks, etc.
The app includes 8 widgets that lets you put different text on different Lock Screen configurations or Home Screen.
You can style parts of the text bold, italic, or strikethrough using Markdown.
Simply tap the widget to open the app to edit the text.
■ Shortcuts
The app is scriptable through the Shortcuts app, enabling a lot of powerful use-cases. For example, you could use an automation to change the text at a certain point in the day or at certain places. The only limit is your creativity.
■ Support
You can contact me through the feedback button in the app or at sindresorhus@gmail.com

Ratings and Reviews
Multiple text?
Can we have multiple text widgets BECAUSE I have 2 other lockscreens for work and chill time and I wouldn’t want to have the same text showing up. Also…I’m feeling like…could this possible be shared to family and friends? What I mean is- I don’t know if anyone else has done it but it would be cool if we could write a text and we can have shared with others on their lockscreen. This could be achieved if the app asks the contact to join the group in the app?
Anyway, it’s awesome! Thanks so much for all of your apps.

In the latest update, you have multiple widgets with different text. I will think about the sharing suggestion.
Fantastic app
This is a super app for adding text to the iPhone lock screen. It is flexible, sophisticated in its appearance, and easy to use. It’s also free! It allows me to put information on my lock screen in case my phone is lost. I use multiple text boxes, one for my email address, and another for a friend to call if my iPhone is found. It can also link to apps in various ways. Many thanks to the developer!
AWESOME!
This app is great. LOVE IT!
Would be even more awesome if we could go four wide on the lock screen widget, but 2 wide might be an Apple limit.
Would also be great to be able to have multiple messages and rotate them in the same lock screen widget so we see a series of messages regularly instead of just one.
Thanks for this app! It’s wonderful… and I am
SUPER thankful there are developers that exist who don’t collect data. That this app doesn’t collect my data is what got me to download it!
Developer Response ,
2 is indeed the iOS limit. As for switching text, you can achieve this with Shortcuts. See the website for more info.
