To-Do List Wallpaper: Daylist

Your to-do list, right on your Lock Screen — no unlocking, no widgets, no notifications that vanish. See what's left the moment you pick up your phone.

Daylist turns your daily task list into your Lock Screen wallpaper. No unlocking, no opening an app, no notifications that vanish — your list is just there, every single time you look at your phone.

Add and complete tasks in the app. A single Apple Shortcut rebuilds your wallpaper automatically when you open or close Daylist, so your Lock Screen always shows the current state of your day: what's left, what's done, and how far you've come.

WHY DAYLIST

• Beautiful, legible wallpaper with your tasks on a clean card
• "N tasks remaining" header so you always know where you stand
• Completed tasks show with a satisfying strikethrough
• Automatic updates via one shared Shortcut + App Open/Close automations
• A gentle daily planning reminder at the time you choose
• Up to 8 tasks visible on the wallpaper, with "+N more in Daylist" overflow
• "All clear" celebration state when everything's done
• 100% on-device. No account, no cloud, no tracking.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Add your tasks for the day in Daylist.
2. Install the shared "Update Task Wallpaper" Shortcut — one tap, guided in-app.
3. Set up two personal automations (App Open / App Close), guided in-app.
4. Daylist renders your list to your Lock Screen automatically — no need to keep the app open.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO FORGET WHAT THEY CAN'T SEE Lock Screen widgets are tiny. Notifications disappear the moment you swipe them. Live Activities expire. Daylist keeps your whole list in front of you — as your wallpaper — so it's there the 90-plus times a day you pick up your phone. Great for staying on task, building a phone-pickup planning habit, and for anyone who works better when the list is impossible to miss.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No sign-up, no accounts, no analytics, no cloud sync. Your tasks are yours.

Requires iPhone on iOS 17 or later. The automatic wallpaper feature uses Apple Shortcuts and runs on your device.
