What's On My iPhone
A look at what's currently living on my iPhone 17 Pro Max home screen. I keep things minimal — one page, only the apps I actually reach for every day.
Lock Screen
Home Screen
Widgets
My calendar of choice. The widget shows today's date and upcoming events at a glance — I have both a small date widget and a medium schedule widget on the home screen.
Clean, minimal weather widget showing conditions for Issaquah. Gives me the current temp and a quick hourly forecast right on the home screen.
Apps
It's still a phone. Sometimes I even use it to call people.
Where most of my group chats and family conversations live. It's become essential for staying connected.
For tech communities and staying in touch with friends. I'm active in a few servers related to 3D printing and Apple tech.
Apple's built-in Photos app. I shoot a lot of product photos and screenshots for content — this is always within reach.
My browser of choice on iOS. Extensions, Reading List, and tight integration with the Apple ecosystem keep me here.
Where I listen to all my podcasts. Great cross-platform sync and a clean UI. Check my Now page for what I'm currently listening to.
Anthropic's AI assistant. I use it for brainstorming, writing, coding help, and quick research. One of the most-used apps on my phone right now.
Beautiful markdown notes app. I use it for quick drafts, blog ideas, and keeping track of things that don't belong in a task manager.
Dock
iMessage is still the default for most one-on-one conversations. RCS support has been nice for the Android friends too.
Mimestream
A blazing-fast native email client for Gmail. Currently in beta on iOS via TestFlight — it's already replaced the stock Mail app in my dock.
Apple Pay, boarding passes, loyalty cards — it all lives here. I barely carry a physical wallet anymore.
Apple Music subscriber. Having it in the dock means it's always one tap away when I need a playlist or want to discover something new.
