DESIGNED TO BE MINIMAL
No busy templates. No stock photos. No distracting graphics. Just your words on a clean gradient or solid-color background. Pick from 20 hand-picked Pantone-inspired colors, or dial in your own with the custom color picker.
FONTS THAT FIT YOUR VIBE
Choose from a curated set of fonts — modern, classic, bold, or handwritten. Every wallpaper looks intentional, not generic.
NOTES ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN

Write a to-do list, shopping list or reminder, style it with your gradient and font, and tick items off right from the Lock Screen.

Your note, right on the Lock Screen. Write a note or a checklist, tap Put on Lock Screen, and it stays there — big, always visible, in your own gradient and font. Check off items straight from the Lock Screen, no unlocking needed. Requires iOS 16.2 or later.
Checklists come to the editor too: turn any note into a checklist, add rows with Return, and check things off as you go. Pick a paper design — plain, lined, grid or dotted — and preview exactly how it will look before you add it.
Also new: press and hold the app icon to jump straight to your Lock Screen note, a System font in text styles, a friendlier welcome to Community quotes, a smoother drag-to-delete bin, and the usual polish.
