About

Shrine

Read full description

Shrine is the full page widget maker for fans: a kpop widget, a concert countdown or a birthday countdown, built from your own photos and filling the whole extra-large iOS 27 widget. One cute home screen page for the thing you love most, instead of a small square in the corner. BUILD A FULL PAGE WIDGET IN MINUTES Pick a layout template such as Grid Shrine, Full Bleed, Countdown Focus, About Me or Stats Board, and use the page like a moodboard. Add photo tiles from your camera roll, write a line or two so the page works as a text widget, set a date to count down to, drop in a stat with a big number. Reorder tiles until it feels right, and the live preview shows exactly what your page will look like. Make widgets you would have drawn yourself. KPOP WIDGET, COUNTDOWN WIDGET, ALL ON ONE PAGE Photo tiles for the faces you want to see every time you unlock your phone. A countdown widget to the concert, the finale or the comeback, ticking on its own: the concert countdown and the birthday countdown live on the same page as the photos. Stats that say 365 days, 12 concerts or whatever number matters to you. Every tile lives together, so your kpop widget, your fan shrine for the artist you love, your anime widget or your best friend page reads as one shrine instead of a scatter of small widgets. CUTE WIDGETS, Y2K WIDGETS AND AESTHETIC THEMES Themes give every shrine its own look, from the soft indigo of Lilac Dream to the pale chrome of Y2K Chrome and, with the paid upgrade, the warm pink of Cherry Pop: cute widgets and kawaii widgets for the bff page, y2k widgets for the throwback era, pink widgets for the soft era. Pick one and the whole page restyles, whether that is a kpop theme for the comeback or a softer widget theme for your best friend page, so your aesthetic widget matches the rest of your home screen. With the paid upgrade, Shrine is a wallpaper maker too: export the page as a hi-res image and set it as your lock screen wallpaper, so your lock screen and your shrine page belong together. DIY WIDGETS, RIGHT ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the Shrine widget at the extra large widget size and your page is there every time you unlock your phone: diy widgets, no design degree needed. Edit the shrine and the home screen widget updates the moment you save. With the paid upgrade, keep as many shrines as you like; the one you edited last is the one on your page. A FANDOM PAGE THAT STAYS YOURS Shrine is a fandom app with no account, because it does not need one. Your photos stay on your device and nothing you add to a shrine is uploaded anywhere. Aesthetic, fandom, home screen: these are the widgets built for those three words. Full page widgets need iOS 27 on iPhone. On iOS 18 through 26, and on iPad, Shrine gives you the same tiles, templates and themes as a Large widget. Shrine is free to download, and your first shrine is free forever, with every template and three themes. A weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase, adds more shrines, six more themes and hi-res wallpaper export. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.
