Wrapped mats. Send a shared mat wrapped in paper with a note on top. Your friend slides a knife along the line to tear it open. A new plus. One card for every way to make a mat: blank, auto, or with friends. Auto mat. Tap plus, then Auto mat, and Mat builds a mat from your best photos of the last month, picking the ones with a clear subject. It all happens on your iPhone. A full-page widget. On iOS 27, one mat can fill a whole home screen page. Made for iPhone Duo. Mat fills both screens. Unfold it and your mats sit on the left, your friends' mats on the right.

Good app, few suggestions..

Hey, just found the app a while ago, in general this is a great app however with the new glass design of iOS the mat grid feels weird, any way you can add a option for a transparent glass type background so that it looks like consistent with rest of the screen on glass mode, also if possible can you please also add support for small 4x4 widget size ?

Response from developer

You can, add multiple widgets on homescreen and than ling press them to choose the mats

Mat is Cute Little App, that meaningfully shows all books stickers I read on wallpaper pages, every time i see it I just feel good :)

Best app in the category

Mat is a fun new app.

You open the camera, point it at anything, and it cuts out the person or thing right away. No editing, no waiting. You just get a clean cutout in one tap.

Then you put these cutouts on a “mat.” You can add polaroids, stamps, clocks, and paper letters to make it feel personal. Once done, you put it as a widget on your Home Screen. So every time you check your phone, you see your own little memory board.

There is also a friend mode. You and a friend can build one mat together. It updates on both phones.

The best widget ever made!

The most fun I’ve had with a widget app, so creative and honestly the only widget I use (and I’m usually not a fan of widgets) It brings a smile to my face every time I look at my Home Screen.
