See your calendar, tasks and reminders the moment you lift your phone โ€” no unlocking, no tapping. CapLock turns your lock screen wallpaper into a live, beautiful overview of your day. WHY CAPLOCK Widgets are small and need a tap. CapLock paints your schedule directly onto the wallpaper, so the whole picture is there at a glance: today's events, this week, your to-dos, and little reminders from the people you care about. WHAT YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN โ€ข Today's agenda โ€“ upcoming events with times, colored by calendar โ€ข Week strip โ€“ seven days with event titles, a time grid, or a weekly list โ€ข Month grid โ€“ the whole month with event chips in every day โ€ข To-do list โ€“ the things you actually need to get done โ€ข Reminders โ€“ set by you, with a time, an icon and a repeat rule โ€ข Reminders from friends โ€“ friends can place a note on your lock screen, and you on theirs WORKS WITH EVERY CALENDAR CapLock reads the calendars already on your iPhone: iCloud, Google Calendar, Outlook / Microsoft 365 (including Teams meetings), Exchange, Lark, and any subscribed calendar. Pick exactly which calendars appear. MAKE IT YOURS โ€ข 11 block styles: transparent, frosted glass, paper notes, grid paper, pastel, iOS-style widget cards and more โ€ข Handwritten font, custom sizes and weights, per block โ€ข Drag every block anywhere on the wallpaper โ€ข Layout templates for a minimal, today, weekly or monthly look โ€ข Use your own photo or a built-in gradient background โ€ข Automatic light or dark text based on your photo ALWAYS UP TO DATE A one-time Shortcuts automation refreshes the wallpaper on a schedule, so the lock screen keeps up with your calendar even when the app is closed. FRIENDS ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Sign in with Apple, choose a handle, add a friend by their handle. Reminders you send appear on their lock screen; theirs appear on yours. Only accepted friends can reach you, and there is no public search. PRIVACY FIRST Your calendar never leaves your device โ€” the wallpaper is rendered on your iPhone. Only the to-dos and reminders you choose to share with friends are stored on our servers. CAPLOCK PRO Unlock every template and style, unlimited friends and more with a yearly or lifetime purchase.

Make your iPhone feel different. CHARGING ANIMATIONS Pick from 11 animations โ€” neon rings, lightning, aurora, liquid, a circuit-board CPU and more โ€” and tune the colors, intensity and sound. Set up a quick Shortcuts automation once (Charging Animation Vibe walks you through it in under a minute) and your animation opens whenever you plug in. It also shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island as a Live Activity on supported iPhones. VIDEO CHARGING ANIMATIONS Browse a gallery of video charging animations in the Videos tab, sorted by style. Preview any of them, set your favorite, and it's saved on your iPhone so it plays offline. Some videos can be unlocked by watching a short ad. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Show your charging look on the Home Screen in small, medium or large, with your battery level. Widgets follow the animation you pick in the app, or choose a different one for each widget. A built-in guide shows you how to add them. PHOTO SLIDESHOWS Choose 5โ€“30 photos, reorder and crop them, and add effects like Ken Burns, zoom, blur and RGB split. Add a beat made in Charging Animation Vibe that's free to post anywhere, or use your own audio and pick the part of the song you want. Export in 1080p, ready for Stories, Reels and TikTok. ISLAND WALLPAPERS 33 wallpapers in 11 styles, each designed around the Dynamic Island or notch of your iPhone. Preview them on a Lock Screen mock-up, then save a still image at your screen's exact resolution. Add our free shortcut once and set a saved wallpaper in one tap, or follow the step-by-step guide. YOUR LIBRARY Every video and wallpaper you save lands in your Library. Favorite, rename, duplicate, share or save to Photos. YOUR STYLE Dark, light or match your iPhone, plus five accent colors. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS No account. Charging Animation Vibe only sees the photos you pick, and can only add to your photo library, never read it. Your videos and wallpapers are made on your iPhone. PREMIUM Charging Animation Vibe is free with ads, and most of it is free to use. Go Premium to remove every ad and unlock all Premium content: every charging animation and video animation, island wallpaper, slideshow effect and music track. Premium items show a lock, and you can preview them before you subscribe. Choose a weekly or yearly plan, or start with a 3-day free trial on the weekly plan (new subscribers only). โ€ข Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. โ€ข The subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. โ€ข Manage or cancel anytime in Settings โ†’ your name โ†’ Subscriptions. โ€ข Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription. Terms of Use: https://charging-animation-vibe.netlify.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://charging-animation-vibe.netlify.app/privacy Good to know โ€ข The charging animation needs a Shortcuts automation that you create once; iOS doesn't let apps start on their own when you plug in. Full-screen playback works while your iPhone is unlocked. โ€ข iOS wallpapers are still images. The motion in the wallpaper preview is inside Charging Animation Vibe only. โ€ข Apps can't set your wallpaper. The one-tap option uses a shortcut you add to the Shortcuts app. โ€ข Items with a lock need Premium. A widget set to a Premium animation shows the default animation until you subscribe. โ€ข Video animations download the first time you use them, so they need an internet connection once. โ€ข Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian and German.
