While more and more applications add the possibility of using iOS 16 Live Activities to display information in real time, some of these applications propose that we ourselves personalize the information we want to see. This is the case of Shelf, an application with which personalize our iPhone a little more.
The Live Activity that we want on our iPhone
Shelf is an application that we can download for free in the App Store. It includes, of course, a couple of integrated purchases to use the Pro version of the application for a month or a year to enjoy all the functions. The truth, however, is that the options offered by the free version are already very interesting. A Live Activity with photos, texts, applications, websites or even with some shortcutsIt can be the most interesting.
If we have an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max we can take advantage of the Live Activities on the Dynamic Island. The application offers us both the reduced design that we will see while we are using other applications and the extended design that we will access by holding down on the information.
The options are really endless and depend a lot on how we plan to use these Live Activities. As far as design is concerned, the application gives us options such as changing the font, the background color and other variables so that the resulting widget matches the aesthetics we have on our iPhone. In fact, these same Live Activities can be used as normal widgets both in their own section for them, on the left side of the applications, and between them.
Whether it is a shortcut to the most frequent actions, a reminder of something we have to do, an inspiring phrase or simply some of our favorite photos, Shelf offers us the tools to highlight them within our iPhone whether it is with the screen on or off. An app that well worth a look and see how the possibilities it offers can go a little further than the experience of using our iPhone.
