Why just send photos on Locket? Drop live cute love notes, bestie emergency alerts, shared Target runs, and aesthetic daily quotes directly onto your favorite person's iPhone lock screen in real time. Built exclusively for iOS 16–18.
The Problem: Sweet morning texts get pushed down by sports alerts, group chats, and work emails. You want him to start his day seeing a sweet reminder that puts a smile on his face.
The Locko Notes Solution: Set his lock screen note to "GOOD MORNING HANDSOME • have the best day at work • lunch at 1?". The moment his alarm goes off, your love letter is right there on his wallpaper before he opens any apps.
The Problem: When you and your best friend plan a girls' night, coffee date, or weekend Target run, shared notes in messaging apps get lost in TikTok meme exchanges.
The Locko Notes Solution: Use the "BESTIE EMERGENCY" preset. Update your shared checklist with iced matcha,Trader Joe's flowers, and outfit inspo. It stays pinned on both of your lock screens in cute Polaroid card styling.
The Problem: Long distance relationships (LDR) mean dealing with opposite schedules, missed FaceTime calls, and waking up alone.
The Locko Notes Solution: Drop a note before you go to sleep. When your partner wakes up on the other side of the world, their lock screen wallpaper has automatically updated with your handwritten thoughts, countdown to your next visit, or sweet affirmations.
The Problem: Ugly, utilitarian to-do list widgets with harsh black borders ruin your carefully curated pastel or Pinterest-aesthetic iPhone wallpaper.
The Locko Notes Solution: Curated feminine palettes: Honey Butter Cream, Buttercream Gold (#ffe091), Sweetheart Blush (#ff85a1), tactile Polaroid photo card borders, and soft SF Pro Rounded typography that blend seamlessly with your lock screen vibe.
The Problem: Locket Widget is incredible for real-time candid photos, but doesn't allow sending full notes, to-do lists, or daily affirmations.
The Locko Notes Solution: Keep your favorite Locket photo widget on your lock screen, and let Locko Notes power the high-res wallpaper behind it with live notes, sweet messages, and daily reminders from your favorite person.
Ensure the Locko Notes Shortcut has permission to update wallpapers. In iOS Settings > Shortcuts > Advanced, toggle on 'Allow Running Scripts' and 'Allow Deleting Without Confirmation'.

In the iOS Shortcuts app, open your Locko Notes automation, toggle off 'Notify When Run', and choose 'Don't Ask' when prompted. On iOS 17 and iOS 18, you can silence banner notifications in Settings > Screen Time > Notifications > Shortcuts.
Yes! Locko Notes is designed as the live note-taking sister app to Locket Widget exclusively for iPhone.

No, Locko Notes uses 0% background battery and 0% persistent CPU.

He doesn't need to open the app! Once the 1-minute Apple Shortcut is installed on his iPhone, all wallpaper updates happen completely in the background. You write the note from your iPhone, and his lock screen wallpaper updates automatically without him doing anything.
Notes are rendered as an aesthetic card on your iPhone wallpaper below the clock. For privacy, you can choose minimalist muted colorways, or pair Locko Notes with an iOS 18 Focus filter (such as Work Focus vs Personal Focus) so intimate notes only display when you are outside of school or work.
Text messages and iMessages get buried under group chats, work pings, or swiped away from Notification Center. Locko Notes places your note directly on his iPhone lock screen wallpaper—seen every single time he glances at his phone (~144 times a day) without needing to open any app.
