Wait Menu vs Calpaper

Track the time remaining until your upcoming events with a simple, lightweight app designed to match the native system experience. Wait Menu helps you stay focused on what’s coming next by showing exactly how much time is left - down to the days, hours, and minutes. See your events at a glance with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Enable notifications to get notified when an event starts, with optional early reminders. Connect your system calendar to import existing events or add new ones directly. Choose which calendar to use and keep everything in sync. Designed with simplicity in mind, Wait Menu offers a distraction-free interface that matches native system design language. Dark Mode ensures a sleek look day or night, while iCloud sync keeps your events up to date across all your devices. Enjoy the waiting!

Your day, before you unlock. Calpaper turns today's calendar into your Lock Screen wallpaper. Every morning a fresh wallpaper is drawn with the events you have today, your open reminders, a note to self, countdowns to the dates you're waiting for, the month at a glance and a photo you love. Lift your phone and you already know what's next. Nothing to open, nothing to forget. KNOW WHAT'S NEXT AT A GLANCE • Today's events from the calendars already on your iPhone: iCloud, Google, Outlook, whichever you use. • Times, titles and calendar colors, laid out so the next thing is the first thing you read. • Tag each event with its calendar's name, or turn the color bars off for a quieter look. MAKE IT YOURS • Ten calm colors, and with Calpaper Pro six gradients, your own photos (one, or a new one every morning) and three more typefaces. • A photo card: one picture from your library, in its own shape and the size you pick, in an instant-photo frame with a caption if you like (Calpaper Pro). • Emoji anywhere on the wallpaper: drag, resize and turn them into place (Calpaper Pro). • Reorder or hide any block; the stack sits right under the clock or centered below it. • Fade everything with one slider so the background shows through (Calpaper Pro). • A matching Home Screen: the same background with nothing under your icons (Calpaper Pro). • Try every Pro feature on the preview first; your Lock Screen gets it when you unlock. • The note becomes a card in a color you choose, so it can't be missed. • A month card with today marked, with optional week numbers and weekend tint. • Fits both Lock Screen clocks, the large one and the compact one. • Larger text, if you need it. THE SMALL THINGS, WHERE YOU'LL SEE THEM • Your Reminders lists, the ones you choose, on the Lock Screen: what's due today first, then the rest. Tick one off and it's gone at the next update. • The note is one line to yourself: a mantra, a nudge, a reason to smile. • Countdowns turn the dates you're waiting for into a journey to an emoji, a step closer every morning, with the days left: one countdown, or as many as you like with Calpaper Pro. • Days since counts up from a date that matters: days together, days sober, any fresh start, as a big number that grows every morning. Leave the name off and only the emoji shows (Calpaper Pro). SET IT ONCE, FRESH EVERY MORNING iOS doesn't let apps change the wallpaper by themselves, so Calpaper pairs with Apple's Shortcuts app. A one-time setup of about three minutes, with every tap shown step by step, creates a daily automation. From then on your wallpaper updates every morning on its own. Changed something, or added an event? One tap updates it now, in the app or from the Home Screen icon. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Calpaper reads today's events on your device and draws them on your device. Your calendar, notes and photos never leave your phone, and there is no account. Anonymous usage stats are optional and off until you allow them. ACCESSIBLE Works with VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion, and the wallpaper itself has a larger-text option. Free to download, with the daily wallpaper included. Calpaper Pro is one purchase: no subscription, no ads, no account. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
