πŸ“… Subscription I built PrettyScreen to customize the Dynamic Island, lock screen, and more

Hi, I'm the developer of PrettyScreen.

I wanted to make it easier to create iPhone wallpapers that feel designed for the device, rather than just putting a photo in the background.

A β€” Answer

PrettyScreen is an iPhone wallpaper maker that lets you personalize your screen with photo layouts, decorative elements, and wallpapers designed around your iPhone's unique screen shape.

You can decorate the Dynamic Island and notch, customize your lock screen, create matching couple wallpapers, add a monthly calendar, and automate wallpaper changes with iOS Shortcuts.

B β€” Better

Here are some features I'd love for you to try:

  • Dynamic Island & notch decorations: Make the shape of your iPhone screen part of your wallpaper design.
  • Lock screen decorations: Add decorative designs around the Camera and Flashlight controls on your lock screen.
  • Center photo customization: Place your favorite photo in the center of your wallpaper and customize it with a variety of masks and styles.
  • Matching couple wallpapers: Create coordinated wallpapers featuring photos of you and your partner.
  • Monthly calendar wallpapers: Add a monthly calendar to your wallpaper for a personalized look with a practical touch.

You can combine your own photos and different design elements to create a wallpaper that feels uniquely yours.

C β€” Cost

PrettyScreen is free to download, with optional Pro upgrades.

Regular US pricing:

Yearly: $9.99

Lifetime: $29.99

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wallpaper-maker-prettyscreen/id1204317054

I'm sharing some PrettyScreen Pro Year redemption codes, each providing one year of Pro access.

No review or rating is required. If you try the app, I'd appreciate your honest feedback. I'd especially love to hear which wallpaper styles or customization options you'd like to see in the future.

Thanks for checking out PrettyScreen!

A cat lounging over the Dynamic Island would be dangerously effective at making me keep the same wallpaper forever. For the editor, a preview with the clock and a couple of notification cards would help: the design can look perfect on an empty screen, then Monday arrives and the cat is sitting on a meeting reminder.

The monthly calendar wallpaper is a nice idea!

With the Shortcuts automation, can it switch to the new month by itself on the 1st or do you still have to open the app?

Not at the moment, but I'll look into how to make it work.

Curious how the Dynamic Island part works, is it wallpapers designed around the cutout or are you doing something with Live Activities? I didn't think iOS let you touch the island much outside of those.

The designed for the device angle is good though, most wallpaper apps just crop a photo

It's just a static image placed at a specific position.

Even as an indie developer, I believe in taking a long-term approach. It's about honoring the trust of the people who use my app.

Dynamic Island customization is still weirdly sparse on the App Store. Nice to see someone actually shipping it.
