there's an eye on your home screen. about every five seconds it looks somewhere new — up, sideways, right at you — for no reason at all. it's yours; you gave it its face. veyebes turns a widget into a small living thing: a pair of animated eyes that glance around on their own and bring a bit of silliness to your iPhone. set it up once and it just stays there, looking about. • customise everything — eye shape, colour, pupil, mood, background. make it calm, weird, or a little unsettling. • two eyes, two widgets. place them apart and they look in different directions. • it keeps picking a new direction to stare, so your home screen never sits still. • works in any widget size, light or dark. • no account, no sign-up. set it and forget it's not real. it's been waiting. give your phone something that looks back.

Gloaming can become a living frame for procedurally generated skies: changing light, dusk, and sunset drawn on your device rather than a static image collection. In Frame, choose one sky from Today, Explore, your Collection, or saved Studio creations and watch it play and loop for free, with no time limit. Time advances naturally: drag the time bar to another moment, release it, and the evening continues. With no sky selected, Watch plays today’s sky. Gloaming Pro unlocks multiple skies playing in sequence and a separate mode that follows dusk around the world. Return to selection to change the skies you are watching. Every sky is generated on-device from a place, a date, and geographical and astronomical inputs. With Gloaming Pro, Seek lets you revisit a chosen place and date—or imagine an evening still ahead. Studio lets you compose a sky through palette, clouds, and landscape. Pro also includes unlimited keeps and high-resolution Save. A quiet display for evenings that keep moving.
