Trinket Shelf is a simple app for curating and cataloguing your special things. Take a photo or choose one from your library and the app cuts it out and places it on your shelf. Add more trinkets and new shelves appear as you go. Drag things around to rearrange them, or tap a trinket to share it or copy the image. Choose your shelf wood and wallpaper... pinstripe, plaid, polka dots, or a coat of paint. Your trinkets can also be used as stickers in Messages. There's also a widget if you'd like your shelf on your Home Screen, and everything syncs with iCloud.

Thingwall is a quiet wall for the little things you notice. A mug. A key. A leaf on the sidewalk. Snap it, peel it into a sticker, and pin it on a soft, endless canvas — together with photos, notes, tape, doodles, and a few words in your own hand. SNAP · PEEL · STICK • Snap — Point the camera at whatever made you pause. • Peel — On-device cutout trims the subject. Keep one, or several. • Stick — Drop it on the wall. Pinch, pan, tidy, or leave it a little crooked. THE WALL Stickers are only the start. Add a Polaroid. A scrap of tape. A doodle. Handwriting that stays put while you wander. Papers and records if you want a mood. On iPhone or iPad — same wall, more room. WHAT WE BELIEVE • Everyday objects deserve attention — not only milestones. • Collecting quietly can be a joy in itself. • Your wall lives on your device. Optional iCloud backup if you want a copy. THE SMALL THINGS DESERVE A WALL.
