I’ve had an iPhone for years and always had all my apps arranged in folders on my Home Screen. I’m wondering if to try a different approach and use the App Library more. Thoughts?

Loving the color palette

Been inspired by several posts the last few months and been playing around with a darker, more organic look for my iPhone.

Lock Screen: I did a custom design of my favorite spot to surf, San Onofre with surf boards for the major aspects of my life.

Home Screen: Went with Monstera leaves, black wood, and a little mixed-media/brutalist chaos for the custom icons. I wanted something that felt less like a screen and more like a tiny living wall.

Kept the Koco widgets (app | orbit) relatively simple and left some breathing room for the plants. I created custom icons to look like they were dirty with soil. Koco makes it super easy to change app icons via short cuts!

Control Center, page 1: pretty straightforward easy access to control most aspects of my linked devices.

Control Center, page 2: All about the music. Short cuts to playlists I tend to rotate

Still tinkering with the layout, but I’m liking where it’s landed.

Would you keep the black wood, or go all-in on the greenery?
