Guide

Detailed guide

iOS and Android, down to the last pixel

Switch between an iPhone lock screen, dynamic island or notch, frosted banner cards, grouped notification stacks, the big lock-screen clock, and the flashlight/camera controls, and an Android (Material You) lock screen with its rounded cards, app-name header row, and large trailing icon. Toggle light or dark mode, choose a wallpaper from the presets or upload your own, and tune the status bar: time, carrier label, Wi-Fi, signal bars, and battery percentage.

Stack multiple notifications and customize every detail

Add as many notifications as you like and edit each one individually: choose the app (or upload a custom app icon), set the app name, sender/title, message body, and timestamp, and turn any card into a grouped stack with a custom count, exactly like real iOS notification grouping. One-tap templates seed common alerts (an Instagram like, a WhatsApp message from Mom, a missed call, a bank payment, a Tinder match) so you can start in seconds. Everything renders locally in your browser and exports up to 3× resolution.
