A year progress wallpaper that updates itself

Every day of the year is a dot. Days behind you are filled in, today glows, and the rest are waiting. A big percentage and a days-left count sit right under your clock, so the year never sneaks up on you in December.

Why people like it

Built for the lock screen

Days, weeks and months at a glance

Laid out as twelve mini calendars, aligned to your week start (Sunday or Monday), so you can spot any date instantly.

Correct in your time zone

The day flips at your local midnight, not the server’s. Pick your city once and it stays right, even across daylight saving.

Your special days

Add up to two yearly dates, like a birthday or an anniversary. They get their own colour on the calendar and a live countdown underneath.

Four looks, every screen

Aurora, Paper, Terminal and Glass, drawn at your exact resolution: iPhone, iPad (portrait and landscape) and Android.

Questions

FAQ

How does the wallpaper update every day?

An Apple Shortcuts automation (or MacroDroid on Android) downloads a fresh image from your personal link each morning and sets it as your lock screen. It takes about two minutes to set up.

Does it cost anything?

No. Year progress wallpapers are free, with no account and no app to install.

Will it drain my battery?

No. It runs once a day and downloads a single image of a few hundred kilobytes.

Ready in two minutes.

Free, no app and no account. Pick a style, copy your link, done.
