Put any kind of text on your Lock Screen or Home Screen so you won't miss it. It could be an important note, your goal, a list of tasks, etc. It also supports Live Activity and StandBy.

The app includes 20 widgets that lets you put different text on different Lock Screen configurations or Home Screen.

You can style parts of the text bold, italic, or strikethrough using Markdown.

Syncs seamlessly across your devices with iCloud.

Simply tap the widget to open the app to edit the text.




■ Shortcuts

The app is scriptable through the Shortcuts app, enabling a lot of powerful use-cases. For example, you could use an automation to change the text at a certain point in the day or at certain places. The only limit is your creativity.


■ Support

You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.

Multiple text?Can we have multiple text widgets BECAUSE I have 2 other lockscreens for work and chill time and I wouldn’t want to have the same text showing up. Also…I’m feeling like…could this possible be shared to family and friends? What I mean is- I don’t know if anyone else has done it but it would be cool if we could write a text and we can have shared with others on their lockscreen. This could be achieved if the app asks the contact to join the group in the app? Anyway, it’s awesome! Thanks so much for all of your apps..Version: 1.1.0

I love it! One suggestion.The widgets help organize my Home Screen a whole lot. I’d definitely recommend this app to anyone. My one suggestion is adding custom widget backgrounds. This could be nice for quotes, and, if someone wants a “transparent” widget, they could add a section of their wallpaper to it. Also, but not as necessary, maybe add the ability to edit the widget directly with “Edit Widget”. This I imagine could potentially have the ability to let people have unlimited widgets..Version: 1.9.1

A Most Excellent AppThis app is fantastic. I hike in the mountains a lot, where data connectivity is often unavailable, and the built-in weather widgets become entirely useless. I use Sindre’s Actions app to periodically cache weather data when available, and Any Text to permanently display weather conditions on my Lock Screen, including both sunrise and sunset together. Except for some documented issues with delayed display updates, it’s been great! Thanks!.Version: 1.8.3

Fantastic appThis is a super app for adding text to the iPhone lock screen. It is flexible, sophisticated in its appearance, and easy to use. It’s also free! It allows me to put information on my lock screen in case my phone is lost. I use multiple text boxes, one for my email address, and another for a friend to call if my iPhone is found. It can also link to apps in various ways. Many thanks to the developer!.Version: 1.4.0

Does its job perfectly with no adsFantastic app that does what it says it would do, without any pesky ads. I use this everyday to remind myself of affirmations in my life. One feature I would suggest (which many others probably also find useful) is the ability to cycle between different texts everyday or every hour, so we can remind ourselves of many different things..Version: 1.8.3

Does exactly what it needs to doThis app does exactly what it needs to do. You can easily change lockscreen text with shortcuts (even though it is a little laggy). I wish I could buy him a coffee or other beverage. Edit: you can buy him a coffee on his website..Version: 1.10.3

QuestionLove the app so much and don’t really have any issues with it but i was wondering if we would ever be able to change the color of “Any text” under the widgets or if there was a way we could do it.Version: 1.8.3

Its okEven after reading the directions on the app numerous times, adding a specific widget you want is not clear. I find it adds the next widget in the sequence. Why? I have no idea. It seems you have to add a blank widget then go back and tap on it to enter text in order to have the widget display the correct text. The sequencing is not clear in the directions..Version: 1.9.1

Great app, but can it support custom fonts?This app is great, and it gets everything that I want it to done. but, I have some custom fonts installed on my phone that I would like to use, and it doesn’t seem to support them. Is there anyway you can add this?.Version: 1.8.4

Fantastic app! But…This app is great. The only thing I don’t understand is why I can’t horizontally expand my text across all my Lock Screen. Instead, I get the option to write in two small rectangles, when I want to write in a large one. If I could do that, I would love this app even more..Version: 1.10.3

Try RestartingThis is a great app that does exactly what it says it will do. I would have happily paid a dollar or two but am delighted it’s free. Tip: When I first installed it, the widget wouldn’t show underneath the clock. A restart of my iPhone fixed it..Version: 1.8.1

AWESOME!This app is great. LOVE IT! Would be even more awesome if we could go four wide on the lock screen widget, but 2 wide might be an Apple limit. Would also be great to be able to have multiple messages and rotate them in the same lock screen widget so we see a series of messages regularly instead of just one. Thanks for this app! It’s wonderful… and I am SUPER thankful there are developers that exist who don’t collect data. That this app doesn’t collect my data is what got me to download it!.Version: 1.4.1

Wonderful, simple app.The markdown formatting is a unique feature that I feel makes this app stand out. Simple to use, and has just the right balance of options/usability..Version: 1.8.4

FantasticI have ADHD, and I have difficulty remembering to do small tasks and this app (in particular the widget for the home screen) helps a TON. It’s super easy to write down new things and it’s very simple too..Version: 1.8.4

Excellent appI used this to add an “if found” message to my Lock Screen. This app does what it says it does, working around the many Apple-imposed limitations where possible. Fantastic job with this app!.Version: 1.8.1

Would like to see entire nameI think the app is great. However, some reason I cannot get the entire name to show up which is so disappointing..Version: 1.9.0

WOW.I'm not a fan of using widgets but this is a game changer! I'm a logophile (word lover) linguistics and very interested in typography. This app is so simple and fun to use for my words I make up and random phrase doodlings. Thank you app developer 💌.Version: 1.8.4

Any TextFinally, a way to put your simple reminders on not only the Home screen, but also the LOCK screen!.Version: 1.6.0

Fantastic! Apple Watch?This little app is fantastic, as are all of Sindre’s apps. Thank you! Only missing functionality is Apple Watch widgets. Sindre, any chance this can be updated with Apple Watch widgets?.Version: 1.5.0

Personal Widgets!Making personal desktop widgets is fun, easy and useful. Totally customisable and so easy to add, change or remove your widget. Really like it..Version: 1.10.3

Great great greatJust a perfect little utility app. Does exactly what I needed and does it well. I’m using a shortcut to fetch some data, process it in chatgpt, and then show it in the Widget. Just couldn’t be simpler. So good!.Version: 1.9.1

Just what I needed for intention setting!I use this to set daily intentions! It is simple, elegant, and user-friendly. Just what I was searching for. THANK YOU! A watch widget would be icing on the cake :).Version: 1.9.1

Dear DeveloperThere’s a place for you in heaven. The apps I found before this one were so clunky and gross and greedy. This was exactly what I wanted. You’re a legend! Thank you!.Version: 1.6.0

Simple and EffectivePerfect app, no fluff or random useless features. I much prefer this over motivational quote apps - you can keep it nice and simple as a motivation should be..Version: 1.8.3

Life savingIn the throes of grieving, I found this app. It has proved to be unexpectedly helpful to have a simple little reminder — “🙏 ❤️” — gray and subtle, on the top of the lock screen. Thank you..Version: 1.6.0

I would pay money for this appVery useful app to set a “If found, please return to …” or an “In case of emergency, please call…” message on the Lock Screen..Version: 1.4.2

Wish you could alignThe app is good, only wish you could right or center align and more fonts :).Version: 1.1.0

Good appVery helpful app ..Version: 1.9.0

Excellent for travellingI use it when travelling to show my name, travel medical insurance policy number and the number to call if I’m not able to communicate..Version: 1.10.3

Lock Screen Medical Alert MessageI love this app as it allows you to put a message on your phones lock screen without having to unlock the phone to read it. Great for a medical alert message, could be a life saver..Version: 1.8.4

Alternating text?It's a great app but I don't see a feature to alternate from different texts..Version: 1.10.3

Really nice!Thanks for sharing!.Version: 1.8.3

Did not expect it to be this easyIt was so easy, free, and supports many characters.Version: 1.8.1

Great app, but force show when locked doesn't workVery unfortunate because I wanted this app primarily for lost phone info. Not sure why the option doesn't work. Otherwise it does exactly as promised without ads or paywalls..Version: 1.8.2

Exactly what it saysThis is simple to use with no ads or login. I use it to add a message to Home Screen about how to contact me if my phone is lost. Great tool. Thanks developer!!.Version: 1.8.1

The only decent text widgetThe only one I could find that’s easy to use, no ads, and looks decent! Seriously thank you so much for this, only thing I would love if you added an option of semi-transparent background for the widgets on the home page!!!.Version: 1.8.1

Great app.Does exactly what it say it will. I wish I could resize it wider, but on the other hand it’s free..Version: 1.6.0

Locked Screen TextDoes exactly what I needed it to do, which is to add my email in case someone finds my phone. Thank you..Version: 1.5.0

The background of the text can’t change (home screen)The app is really good and easy to work with. However I would recommend you to make a feature where you can customize the color of the background for the Home Screen widgets so people can match the colour to their theme / wallpaper on their phone..Version: 1.5.0

Good app but should be improvedIt should be possible to change the background of the widget to different colors or to be transparent.Version: 1.5.0

Great for quick glances during a meetingI use it to write a list of things I shouldn’t forget during a meeting, like numbers or a checklist. It doesn’t look like I’m reading notes. App is super simple and easy to use. Looking forward to having the same on Apple Watch!.Version: 1.4.2

Very usefulMuch easier than doing one’s own text work on a graphic. (Ideally, the text would be re-positionable.).Version: 1.4.0
