Theme Studio is a design tool for creating custom app icons, themed widgets, and matching wallpapers for a personalized iPhone home screen aesthetic. You make everything in the app, save it to your Photos, then apply it yourself: icons through Apple's Shortcuts app, and wallpapers through the iOS Settings app. Theme Studio never changes your app icons, wallpaper, or any system setting automatically. HOW IT WORKS 1. Design a custom icon, widget, or wallpaper in the app. 2. Save the image to your Photos library. 3. For icons, open Apple's Shortcuts app and add the saved image to your Home Screen. For wallpapers, set the saved image from the iOS Settings app. The app walks you through these steps the first time. ICON PACKS 5,900+ icons in 9 styles. Choose from a variety of icon styles: minimalist line art, bold chroma, retro pixel grids, and more. Each pack is designed to feel cohesive. Browse the collection, search by app name, or mix and match icon packs to design a custom home screen aesthetic. STUDIO: CUSTOM ICON MAKER & ICON CHANGER Studio is your in-app custom icon maker and icon changer. Customize any glyph: layer solid colors, gradients, photo backgrounds, or blurred wallpaper slices behind it. Tune position, scale, shadow, and color overlays, or upload your own PNG or JPEG. The live preview shows how each icon will look once you apply it. When you are happy with an icon, save it to your Photos and use the Shortcuts app to add it to your Home Screen. WIDGETS Build clock, weather, calendar, battery, app grid, photo, quote, and tabbed widgets that match your home screen aesthetic. Pick fonts, colors, backgrounds, and styles, from minimalist to bold, or bake your wallpaper into the widget background for a transparent look. Widgets are added by you from the standard iOS widget gallery (touch and hold the Home Screen, then add a Theme Studio widget). WALLPAPERS Browse a library of curated wallpapers, or generate color-matched wallpapers from your icon palette. Save them to your Photos, then set them as your Lock Screen or Home Screen wallpaper from the iOS Settings app. SAVE YOUR THEMES Save your icon, wallpaper, and widget combinations as themes. Loading a saved theme brings all of its pieces back into the app at once, ready for you to save and apply. Build seasonal looks, mood-based aesthetics, or personalize your home screen aesthetic for any occasion. Share your own themes with friends as a short code or link. APPLYING YOUR ICONS Theme Studio is an icon changer built around Apple's built-in Shortcuts app, the standard, user-initiated workflow for icon customization on iOS. You save an icon image to your Photos, then add it to your Home Screen yourself in the Shortcuts app. Theme Studio guides you through this the first time, and does not change your app icons or Home Screen for you. Made by an indie developer focused on iPhone personalization. Questions, ideas, or bug reports? Reach out through Settings > Contact.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Theme Studio at 5.0 against censor photo's 4.0. Theme Studio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 11 months). censor photo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
