Homescreen Gallery is an online archive of iOS Home Screens. The proliferation of mobile applications and customizable interfaces has turned the Home Screen into a unique anthropological artifact — one that exposes our digital habits and our personal relationship with technology.

As time goes by and iOS updates are released, Homescreen Gallery will grow into a crowd-sourced catalog of technological evolution, allowing the public to determine if things have, indeed, “evolved.”

To submit a screenshot, simply scan the QR code below and text a screenshot of your iOS Home Screen. Screenshots that contain photos of children will not be accepted. You may choose to remain anonymous if you’d prefer.

Homescreen Gallery has officially launched. Don’t forget to share this website with your homies.

Homescreen Gallery was initially conceived as a means to learning React.js, Next.js, and Sanity. Apparently, it worked!

All screenshots are sourced from the public, and should be considered property of their respective user.
