Mister Icon provides decorative text labels and matching wallpapers, to help you create neat, tidy, beautiful, practical and fun home screen designs. Use the pre-prepared icon labels, or make your own with a fully customizable icon creator supporting more than 90 different fonts. You can even add emoji to your home screen! No ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions! Just a simple, one-off payment. -- USER REVIEWS -- "The perfect -one of a kind- app organizer!" "This is THE app to easily and neatly organize your screen." "I've been looking for something like this for years." -- THE BASICS -- If you have a lot of apps, it can often be difficult to find the one you are looking for, but Mister Icon's text-based label icons can help bring some order to your iPhone or iPad. Mister Icon does not provide any way to make 'folders', and does not do all the hard work for you, it simply provides the ability to add icon labels to your home screen, which you can then move in amongst your apps. For example, install a 'Games' icon to your home screen, then move all your favorite games nearby so that it's easier to find them the next time you swipe past. Or make your own custom icon designs with fun emojis to brighten up your home screen and make you feel happy. The icons are easy to install and there is no need to use the Shortcuts app, unless you want to make the icons perform special actions when you tap on them. The Mister Icon Tips & Tricks section includes detailed instructions on both installation methods, so you can choose whichever suits your needs best. -- THE ICONS -- There are more than 150 pre-prepared icon labels to choose from, with each icon available in 20 different styles, including several 'round' options. And now with the latest version 4 update, Mister Icon introduces a new custom icon creator that allows you to create icons with your own text and emoji, providing the ultimate freedom and creative control. Use any of the 45 built-in color schemes, or choose your own colors, then apply them to both icons and wallpapers. Mister Icon allows you to easily label the different screens on your iOS device, so you can effectively create a 'kids' page, a 'work' page, a 'news' page, or simply number each of your home screens from 1 to 15. The icons can be reorganized the same way as normal apps - simply tap and hold on any icon until it starts wobbling, then drag it into the desired location. Be creative and use Mister Icon's icons in whatever way works best for you! -- THE WALLPAPERS -- Included wallpapers are simple in design, but highly functional, and can be easily matched to your icon colors. Special 'hidden notch' and 'hidden island' wallpapers are available on relevant devices to allow you to blend in the 'notch' or 'island' at the top of your home screen, if you want to. -- THE DETAILS -- Please visit mistericon.com for more information, along with some sample icon arrangements that may provide useful inspiration for organizing your own home screens. If you're unsure about what this app does, please be sure to take a thorough look through my website before purchasing. The app's interface and pre-prepared icons are English-only, but the new custom icon creator supports 90+ fonts, including many with international language support. Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Latin and more, are all supported for custom icons. Mister Icon contains NO ads, NO in-app purchases and NO subscriptions. I hope you will find my app to be a useful and fun way to help tidy up your home screen. -- Mister Icon --

Read full description

*** NEW! Long-press the snapshot button to save your creation as a 3D file (USDZ). This app allows you to accent your creativity with 3D text. You can wish someone a happy birthday, happy anniversary, congratulations, or add flare to any event or creative project. When you enter text in the text field, it is converted into a 3D object which you can manipulate around into any orientation. Not just letters and numbers, but any of the vast range of characters (glyphs) - you have millions of characters and shapes to choose from - make a photo frame from a rectangle character and pick your photo to put in it! The 3D text has 3 primary facets (unique faces) - the face surface, which is the normal face you see whenever you look at 2D text on the screen or in print; the extrusion surface, which make up the sides of the face as it is extruded into 3-dimensions, much like toothpaste squeezing out of it’s tube; and the chamfered edge, which is the corners where the face and it’s extrusion connect. The chamfered edge is also loosely known as a beveled edge, edge, rim, corner, lip, and by a few more terms. The face and chamfer facets are also mirrored on the back side of the 3D text. Each of the facets can be colored with any color, or mapped with a texture/shader (an image). You can select any color imaginable, and this app also allows for the colors to have opacity (transparency) for other advanced uses. You can also ‘color’ the facets with an image from the Photos app. Much like a blanket, an image is wrapped against the 3D facets where every 3D point adopts a 2D pixel from your image. The background can also be colored or textured. There are nearly unlimited uses for 3D text in the world of graphic design, movies/entertainment, marketing, signage, advertisements, … the list goes on. The app tries to simplify the complex processes and calculations involved by handling the math behind the art. Fonts are notoriously complex and extremely intricate - things don’t always work well together in this field, but the app does it best to allow you to do so much with only a few clicks, taps, or swipes. While this area of graphics has uncountable commercial applications, the intent here is to allow you to create beautiful, unique, and personal greetings for your friends and loved ones. You can always snap a screenshot to Photos as usual, but the app also has a built-in snapshot button to only capture the 3D view (without having to later crop out all the controls, etc.). You can also save the 3D objects you create as a 3D file (USDZ) to view|share later. The USDZ object file can also be opened|imported-into many other 3D programs. Pricing: it was decided to make the app available at the lowest conventional base price, rather than wear you down with a subscription, or drive you mad with advertisements or in-app upgrade purchases. Surely you have this little under your car seats. Pay a few pennies once… use and enjoy it everyday after. AND, it will also available for you on your iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, and your Mac. Give it a try, and in a short time, you will be creating very unique works of art to enjoy and share. Please enjoy! Developer Note: This app was coded using the SceneKit API Framework exclusively, with special thanks and appreciation to all who have contributed, and will contribute, to the development of SceneKit.
