Your day, before you unlock. Calpaper turns today's calendar into your Lock Screen wallpaper. Every morning a fresh wallpaper is drawn with the events you have today, your open reminders, a note to self, countdowns to the dates you're waiting for, the month at a glance and a photo you love. Lift your phone and you already know what's next. Nothing to open, nothing to forget. KNOW WHAT'S NEXT AT A GLANCE • Today's events from the calendars already on your iPhone: iCloud, Google, Outlook, whichever you use. • Times, titles and calendar colors, laid out so the next thing is the first thing you read. • Tag each event with its calendar's name, or turn the color bars off for a quieter look. MAKE IT YOURS • Ten calm colors, and with Calpaper Pro six gradients, your own photos (one, or a new one every morning) and three more typefaces. • A photo card: one picture from your library, in its own shape and the size you pick, in an instant-photo frame with a caption if you like (Calpaper Pro). • Emoji anywhere on the wallpaper: drag, resize and turn them into place (Calpaper Pro). • Reorder or hide any block; the stack sits right under the clock or centered below it. • Fade everything with one slider so the background shows through (Calpaper Pro). • A matching Home Screen: the same background with nothing under your icons (Calpaper Pro). • Try every Pro feature on the preview first; your Lock Screen gets it when you unlock. • The note becomes a card in a color you choose, so it can't be missed. • A month card with today marked, with optional week numbers and weekend tint. • Fits both Lock Screen clocks, the large one and the compact one. • Larger text, if you need it. THE SMALL THINGS, WHERE YOU'LL SEE THEM • Your Reminders lists, the ones you choose, on the Lock Screen: what's due today first, then the rest. Tick one off and it's gone at the next update. • The note is one line to yourself: a mantra, a nudge, a reason to smile. • Countdowns turn the dates you're waiting for into a journey to an emoji, a step closer every morning, with the days left: one countdown, or as many as you like with Calpaper Pro. • Days since counts up from a date that matters: days together, days sober, any fresh start, as a big number that grows every morning. Leave the name off and only the emoji shows (Calpaper Pro). SET IT ONCE, FRESH EVERY MORNING iOS doesn't let apps change the wallpaper by themselves, so Calpaper pairs with Apple's Shortcuts app. A one-time setup of about three minutes, with every tap shown step by step, creates a daily automation. From then on your wallpaper updates every morning on its own. Changed something, or added an event? One tap updates it now, in the app or from the Home Screen icon. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Calpaper reads today's events on your device and draws them on your device. Your calendar, notes and photos never leave your phone, and there is no account. Anonymous usage stats are optional and off until you allow them. ACCESSIBLE Works with VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion, and the wallpaper itself has a larger-text option. Free to download, with the daily wallpaper included. Calpaper Pro is one purchase: no subscription, no ads, no account. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. ## Key features - Dynamic Lock Screen wallpaper with daily events - Integrates with existing iPhone calendars - Displays reminders, notes, and countdowns - Customizable colors, fonts, and photos - Optional Home Screen matching wallpaper - One-tap manual update ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Calpaper Pro | $2.99 | one-time | ## Is Calpaper safe?

Thanks for your rating and feedback. We've included this feature since v1.3: the Reminders block reads the Reminders and ticking off reminders in the Reminders App is instantly read by Calpaper and you only need to update the wallpaper to see it removed. If you find more feedback or comments, please write to calpaper@danielgh.info ### 5/5 — Super helpful, good looking app. *2026-10-18* This is something Apple should be doing, particularly with how android is so customisable. The app itself is really pleasing to look at and has a range of customisable features. App creator also really open to feedback and suggestions. Definitely worth taking a look. **Developer response:** Thanks for your kind review and feedback. I am always open to comments so let me know if we can change anything to make it better ### 5/5 — Finally a useful lock screen *2026-10-18* Finally, a useful lock screen! I attached it to my sunrise automation, and now it gives me my day at a glance with a great, customizable design. Pro tip run automation whenever you open calendar to update it and past events will be removed from lock screen. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! I am definitely including your tip in the next version as a suggestion :) ## Frequently asked questions about Calpaper ### How does Calpaper update my Lock Screen wallpaper?

Add a Photos wallpaper for Calpaper, and on iOS 18–26 pick the Calpaper tile under My Shortcuts. Calpaper 1.5.1: Calpaper Pro is yours from the moment you pay, every time you open the app and every morning, even offline. If your Lock Screen still shows the free version after you buy, the status says so, and Update puts Pro on it in one tap. Bought Calpaper before it was free? Nothing changes: Pro stays yours. Calpaper 1.5 counts up, not just down. • Days since (Calpaper Pro): days together, days sober, any fresh start, as a big number on your Lock Screen that grows every morning. Add one in Content › Countdown, under your countdowns, and try it on the preview first. • Leave the name empty and only the emoji shows, for the counts you keep to yourself. • Settings › Support & privacy: Contact us writes an email from inside the app, with the app version, iOS and iPhone model filled in, and a new row opens the App Store's review page. • A short What's new card after an update, starting with this one. ### 1.5.1 — 2026-10-22 Calpaper 1.5.1: Calpaper Pro is yours from the moment you pay, every time you open the app and every morning, even offline.

Offered once, after your first wallpaper. • The status pill says Check, and leads to the checklist, when the guide ended without Shortcuts answering or an update couldn't find your shortcut; no more tapping Update into the same error. • When your shortcut runs but stops before changing the wallpaper, usually because no wallpaper is picked in it yet, Calpaper says so and shows the step that fixes it, instead of sending you back and forth to Shortcuts. • Without calendar access the morning update still makes a wallpaper (reminders, the note, the month) instead of failing. • The morning update always draws the photo today picks, and keeps your reminders when the Reminders app is slow to answer. • Emoji live in Look now, under the fonts; the three steps are Canvas, Content and Look. • Smoother: the calendar is read off the main thread, the date turns over at midnight, and the photo chip no longer decodes a full-size photo. • Calpaper Pro's offer leads with the features people reach for most: photos, fonts, countdowns. ### 1.3 — 2026-10-20 Calpaper 1.3 is free to download, reads your Reminders, and lets you try every Pro feature before you buy. • Free to download, with the daily wallpaper: today's events, your Reminders, a note, the month and a countdown. Calpaper Pro is one purchase, no subscription. • Try Pro on: pick a photo, a font, a gradient, emoji, the transparency slider, more countdowns. The preview shows them on your own day; your Lock Screen gets them the moment you unlock. • Reminders: choose your lists in Content › Reminders and your open reminders are on your Lock Screen every morning, what's due today first, straight from the Reminders app, nothing to retype. • Photo shuffle: add up to ten photos and wake up to a different one each morning (Pro). • Gradients: six two-colour backgrounds, dawn to northern lights (Pro). • A matching Home Screen: the action's new Screen option draws the same background with nothing under your icons, for a second Set Wallpaper Photo in your shortcut (Pro). • Setup in four taps: the guide now adds a ready-made shortcut (both actions, named, set to 6:00) from a link. You pick your wallpaper, switch it on and try it once; nothing to build. • Calpaper now speaks Italian. • If you bought Calpaper before this version, everything is already yours: Calpaper Pro is unlocked on your Apple Account, for good, plus two OG app icons only early supporters get.
