This is my Audible app icon — I don’t even know what the orange thing is, found it in bathroom
Have been taking pics of real world objects and then using iOS shortcuts to replace normal app icons

Yesterday in a response to a "what is your most recent camera roll photo" ask I shared a random picture I'd taken for the purpose of turning it into a custom app icon using the iOS Shortcuts app. (The link on this rec is to a YT video for how to do this.)
I've been slowly changing my phone icons to photos I've taken.
Here's where I'm at right now:
VLC — a folded piece of paper on an orange notebook
Audible — the corner of an orange plastic comb thing
PI.FYI — A paper star cut out with a razor blade
Voice Memo — An unflattering picture of me
superwhisper — The top of a spice jar of cinnamon (this one is my favorite...I wanted it to look like a record button!)
Every time I look at these particular apps, I feel a little spark of creative joy.
...I'm not rushing into this, just keeping my eyes open and letting the muse find me.

on some nerdy shit, i love building/automating stuff when i can so the apple shortcuts app is a godsend (sometimes) for me. The action button used to be useless for me but now i’ve made a shortcut that either plays my main playlist or lets me pick my podcast during bedtime hours!
If yall need a shortcut or got a good idea, comment below!

I’m currently obsessed with showing my Home Screen to friends like I’m in an architectural digest video. Wikipedia has the best widgets; my fave is the top 4 articles of the day. I’ve truly feng shui’d my Home Screen and I feel a thousand times smarter bc of it. Other great widgets: Shazam, Libby, Venmo

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
