In short

Calpaper: Today at a Glance draws your day into a fresh Lock Screen wallpaper each morning, showing today's events from your iPhone calendars, short reminders, a note to self, countdowns and a month view. It suits people who want their schedule visible without opening an app. A standout detail is that it runs on the device and keeps calendars, notes and photos off any server, with no account needed.

About

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, the reminders you typed, 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 or your own photo, four 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. • 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. • 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 • Reminders are short lines you type in Calpaper. No lists, no due dates, just the two or three things that matter today. • 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.

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.

Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French.
