Your day, on a wall.
A to-do list isn't a list — it's paper you stick on a wall. Write it, draw it, tape it up. In the evening your wall becomes your Lock Screen.
Coming soon to the App StoreiPhone · iPad · Apple Watch · iOS 17 and later
How it works
Three steps, then it runs itself.
Tap an empty spot
A sheet of paper opens. Type on it, or draw with a pencil — both live on the same sheet.
Hang it where you like
Drag it, turn it with two fingers, pick its colour and its tape. The arrangement is yours.
Let it reach your Lock Screen
Set it up once; every time you leave the app, that day's wall takes over.
Lock Screen
Your wall, every time you pick up your phone.
The day's wall becomes your Lock Screen wallpaper — the same paper, in the same places, at the same size. The picture beside this isn't a mockup: it is the real wallpaper the app produces.
Pixel for pixel
The Lock Screen is a copy of the wall in the app. Nothing is rescaled, shifted or cropped.
Your gallery stays clean
DailyWall never writes to Photos on its own, and never deletes anything.
Hands off
A Shortcuts automation swaps in today's wall every time you leave the app.
The real wallpaper the app produces
Paper
Paper that behaves like paper.
A note isn't a line of text, it's a surface. You choose its shape, its colour, its tape and its handwriting — and when the paper is full, it is genuinely full.
Type it or draw it
Use the keyboard, then draw over it with Apple Pencil or a finger. The words don't vanish — both layers stay.
12 paper shapes
Torn edges, notebook pages, tickets, tags, curled corners. All drawn, so nothing ever goes soft.
19 tapes
Washi, kraft, polka dot, hearts, stars, hazard stripe. Every note goes up with its own.
8 hands
Ballpoint, pencil, marker, calligraphy, typewriter, brush, architect. Each note in its own hand.
List paper
A heading, items, a tick box beside each one. You tick them off on the paper itself.
Times and reminders
Give a note a time and your device schedules it. Repeating things roll forward on their own.
Paper shapes
Tapes
Walls
You choose the surface too.
Fifteen walls. Whichever you pick, the whole app follows it — tabs, cards, and the Lock Screen wallpaper. Or make a photo of your own the wall.
Everywhere
Write on iPhone, draw on iPad, tick on your wrist.
iPhone and iPad
On iPad the wall grows and so do the notes. Built for writing with Apple Pencil.
Apple Watch
What's left of the day, on your wrist. Check the complication, tick without leaving the face.
iCloud backup
Your walls sync through your own iCloud account. There's no account to create.
A wall calendar
Every day has its own wall. Swipe back to see yesterday; move what's left to today.
Smart add
Type "dentist tomorrow at 2" and let it work out the date, the time and the items.
Widgets and controls
Your list on the Home Screen, quick add on the Lock Screen. Tick things off without opening the app.
Privacy
What you write is yours. We hold no record of you.
There is no account to create. Your notes live on your device and in your own iCloud account, where we cannot reach them.
- No account. No sign-up, no email address.
- No tracking. No analytics, no ad network, no third-party SDK.
- Hands off your photos. Nothing is written to your library unless you press the button.
- One thing leaves the device — the line you type in smart add. Anonymous, and never stored.

FAQ
Questions people ask.
Can my wall really become my Lock Screen?
Yes — but iOS doesn't let any app change the wallpaper directly. DailyWall renders the wall as an image and hands it to Shortcuts; you set up one automation and it runs itself after that. The app walks you through it step by step.
Will pictures pile up in my photo library?
No. DailyWall never writes to Photos on its own and never deletes anything. A copy is saved only if you press "Save to Photos" yourself.
Do I need an Apple Pencil?
No — you can draw with a finger. But it was built for writing with a Pencil on iPad: the paper, the ink and the eraser all behave like a real notebook.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Writing, drawing, ticking things off and the Lock Screen wallpaper all work with no connection. Only smart add (turning plain language into a date) needs one — and without it the app falls back to its own rule-based parser.
Do my notes reach my other devices?
If iCloud is on, yes — through your own iCloud account. There is no separate account to create, and we cannot reach that data.
Can I use it without subscribing?
You can create one card. Filling your wall, the Lock Screen wallpaper, unlimited handwriting and every paper and tape need a subscription. The monthly plan comes with a three-day free trial; cancel before it ends and you are not charged.
