Make It Big vs Countdown

Say it without speaking. Turn your iPhone or iPad into a full-screen message with Make It Big. Type what you want to say, then tap to display it in large text that automatically fits your screen. Show a message across a room, communicate in a noisy place, or hold up a name at an airport. Make It Big is also a simple way for Deaf, hard-of-hearing and nonverbal people, and anyone who cannot or prefers not to speak, to share a written message. No ads. No tracking. No account needed. Works offline. TYPE, TAP, SHOW Tap to edit your message, then tap again to hide the keyboard and show it full screen. Short messages make the biggest impression. FOR EVERYDAY MOMENTS Order in a busy café, share a note at a concert, show a pickup sign or communicate somewhere quiet without saying a word. WIDGETS, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Keep your latest message handy with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Use Siri or the Shortcuts app to display a message, or open Make It Big from Control Center. PORTRAIT OR LANDSCAPE Hold your device whichever way works best. Your message automatically resizes when you rotate the screen. YOUR MESSAGE, YOUR STYLE Choose a font and set your text and background colours. Swap the colours whenever you like, and turn haptic feedback on or off. SHOW IT AGAIN Find previous messages in Recents so you can display them again without retyping. Share individual messages as text, or share all your saved messages at once. OPTIONAL FLASH MODE Shake your device to flash between your text and background colours. Adjust the flash speed or turn off shake to flash in Settings. WARNING: Flashing screens may trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Use flash mode responsibly.
