Features & Capabilities

Shelf lets you pin content to the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Home Screen. Create shelves that display photos, text, or quick links to open apps, shortcuts, or websites. Each shelf is visually customisable; apply themes or manually change colours and fonts.

Thanks to the iPhone 14 Pro’s always-on display, shelves can be viewed at a glance—with actions just a tap away. They can automatically launch via App Shortcuts (e.g., Focus) or be summoned with Siri to create shelves. More shelf types are coming soon, such as Timer, Checklist, and Weather. If you have questions, please reach out to shelf@michaeltigas.com.au.

User Reviews

Users praise Shelf for tap-to-launch shortcuts on the lock screen and the ability to display photos on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, with customizable shelves. However, feedback frequently cites instability during editing and when selecting items, shelves and widgets disappearing from the lock screen, limited and unreliable Shortcuts integration, a hard-to-hide lock screen photo, and feature gating behind Pro.

Pros

Tap-to-launch shortcuts on the lock screen for quick access.
Displays photos on the lock screen and Dynamic Island for personalization.
Customizable shelves with multiple shortcuts for different tasks.

Cons

Stability issues: editing or selecting shelves can crash or cause the app to close.
Lock screen widgets/shelves frequently disappear from the lock screen, or fail to persist.
Shortcuts integration is limited or unreliable, with difficulties opening apps or automating actions.
Lock screen photo display cannot be hidden or removed easily, affecting privacy or appearance.
Some features appear gated behind the Pro version (e.g., color options) and may require Pro for full functionality.

Won't let me use it to open apps or run shortcuts. If I try to create a shelf to do those things as soon as I try to pick one it closes out before I can pick one.
