Preview any photo as it will look on the iOS lock screen — with depth, motion, and the clock — before you set it. Depthlock lifts the subject out of your image using the same on-device Vision pipeline iOS uses, auto-frames it behind the clock numerals, and lets you tilt the phone to feel the spatial parallax close to what iOS renders on lock. No more setting a wallpaper just to discover the subject's head lands on the time. The preview is a close approximation, not a pixel-identical reproduction — small differences in clock weight, focal point, or parallax may appear once the wallpaper is actually set. The value is catching mismatches (head-on-clock collisions, awkward framing) before you commit. Bring any source Combine your own files with curated catalogs and preview every image for lock-screen viability: • Your files — Photos, on-device folders, Files providers (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive), Google Drive • Movies — TMDB poster catalogs (popular, trending, top-rated, in theaters, upcoming) • Space — NASA APOD plus Curiosity & Perseverance Mars rover photos • Games — RAWG curated video-game art • Wallpapers — Wallhaven curated + trending feeds • Art — the Art Institute of Chicago's open-access collection • Launches — SpaceX launch and mission imagery • Plus bundled samples for instant content Bring your own keys (optional) Catalog sources work out of the box on shared free-tier credentials. Want unlimited browsing or your own quota? Paste a free API key for any source in Settings; bundled defaults just work otherwise. A close preview of the lock screen • Subject lifted in front of the clock with depth occlusion • Auto-framed to mirror Apple — head under the time, body filling the lower portion • Tilt to see the parallax effect iOS applies on lock • iOS 26 Liquid Glass-style clock — refraction, specular, dark/light contrast • Customize clock typeface, size (drag handle), and front/back placement relative to your subject Clean up your wallpaper, on device The signature pain of poster wallpapers — distracting title text, watermarks, an extra person — solved without an account or a key. Brush or lasso the area, pinch to zoom in for detail work, and the bundled LaMa inpainting model handles it locally. Compose multiple passes with the erase loop; revert any step. Optional prompt-driven cleanup If you want more than mask-based inpainting — generative fills, scene rebuilds — bring your own Gemini or OpenAI key. Keys stay in your iOS Keychain and sync only through iCloud's encrypted channel. We never see them. Wallpaper edit mode Pinch and pan to position each image — persisted per wallpaper. Apple's "Extend Wallpaper" mirror reproduces natural-feeling edges. Discover and Favorites A randomized swipe stream pulls from your active sources. Favorite the ones you love and they follow you across devices via iCloud. One-tap set Install the prebuilt "Set Wallpaper" Shortcut once and it joins the share sheet from any preview — tap to hand the image straight to iOS's wallpaper picker. Privacy you can verify • No accounts. No analytics. No third-party tracking SDKs. • API requests go directly to upstream, or through a thin Cloudflare edge cache that sees URLs only — no user identity, no account to fingerprint. • API keys and OAuth tokens live in the iOS Keychain. iCloud Keychain syncs them through Apple's encrypted channel, never through us. • iCloud sync is Apple-to-Apple. Preferences and favorites ride iCloud Key-Value Store; cleanup image bytes stay device-local. Depthlock is independent and not affiliated with Apple, Google, NASA, the Art Institute of Chicago, SpaceX, RAWG, or Wallhaven.
