About
Margin replaces rows of bright icons with a page of calm text: the time, the weather, your next event, and your apps as a list of names. One typeface, and a wallpaper in exactly the same color, so the widgets disappear into it.
TEXT INSTEAD OF ICONS
Your apps become a short list of names. Tap one and it opens, just like an icon. Nothing is uninstalled or locked: your other apps stay in the App Library and search.
A WALLPAPER THAT MATCHES
Margin saves a plain wallpaper in your theme's color to Photos, so the widget backgrounds blend away and only the words are left.
WIDGETS
• Today: the time and date, with the weather and your next event
• Clock: the time in large type, and nothing else
• Next up: your next event and how long until it starts
• Weather: the temperature and conditions, in words
• Note: a line of your own
• Launcher: your apps as a list of names
• Home page: the time, your apps and your note in one widget, filling the whole page at extra large
On the Lock Screen: Next up, Weather, Note, and App shortcut, which opens one app of your choice.
FOUR THEMES, THREE TYPEFACES
Paper, Ink, Sage and Dusk, in Sans, Serif or Mono, aligned left or centered. Every widget shares your choice, so nothing shouts louder than anything else.
LISTS THAT FOLLOW YOUR FOCUS
Keep a few lists of apps and let a Focus switch between them: work apps when Work Focus is on, just a few at bedtime. Each list can span up to three Home Screen pages.
GUIDED SETUP
Setup takes about three minutes. Margin walks you through choosing a look, setting the wallpaper, picking your apps and quieting the rest of your Home Screen.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no analytics, no tracking and no servers of our own. Your calendar is read on your iPhone and never sent anywhere. Your location is used once, to choose where the weather is for. Weather comes from Apple Weather.
The launcher can open apps that have a link: most of Apple's apps, and popular ones like WhatsApp, Spotify, Slack, Signal, Notion and Obsidian. 46 in all, with more added in updates.
Requires iOS 27.
