Shelf - Create Live Activities
Customize your Lock Screen
Only for iPhone
Free · In-App Purchases
Shelf lets you pin content to the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Home Screen!
Create shelves that display a photo, text, or quick links to open apps, shortcuts, or websites. Each are visually customisable; apply themes or manually change colours and fonts.
Thanks to the iPhone 14 Pro’s always-on-display, shelves can be viewed at a glance - with actions a simple tap away.
Automatically launch shelves with App Shortcuts support, such as when a Focus is turned on, or ask Siri "Create a Text Shelf" to quickly pin a spoken comment to your Lock Screen.
More types of shelves will be coming soon, such as; a Timer, Checklist, and Weather.
