New Update

Mister Icon - The App

Mister Icon app running on iPhone XS and iPad Pro

Organise your iPhone or iPad home screen
with decorative text/emoji icon labels and complementary wallpapers.

Download on the App Store

Mister Icon is an app that allows you to easily add labels/categories/headings to your iOS or iPadOS home screen, in the form of decorative text-based icons.

It also helps you make your home screen look stylish, with a selection of wallpapers designed to blend in nicely with the icons.

And now, Mister Icon provides all new creative possibilities via custom label icons featuring your own text and/or emoji!.

The basic idea is this: Add some icon labels to your home screen, then move them amongst your apps. Put a “Games” label next to your favourite games, a “Work” icon next to your work-related apps, etc. Then the next time you swipe around your home screen pages, finding the app you're looking for is so much easier!

This isn't an app that can organise your home screen for you automatically. No app can.
If you're super lazy—don't bother reading any further, this app is not for you.

But if you'd like a useful app that can assist you to organise your home screen and make it look nice, and you don't mind a bit of work—perhaps you might like my app.

Mister Icon is not free. It's a quality app and I put a lot of time and effort into it. There are no ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions. Just a simple, one-off payment. You can buy it for iPhone/iPad on the App Store.


Now with customisable icons!

New custom icon creator in Mister icon app version 4.0

The latest Mister Icon update is the biggest update ever, and it introduces a custom icon creator!

You can now create your own icon labels using custom text and/or emoji.

It's easy to use, and can create some really unique results.

Fully customise text, colours, positioning, alignment, spacing and more.

There are more than 90 fonts to choose from, including international language fonts.

Custom icons are here!

It is easy to make a custom icon that will match in with existing Mister Icon labels that you might already have in use, or you can start from scratch and make something completely fresh.

Custom icons can be easily installed just like every other Mister Icon label.
You can use the simple Add to Home Screen process or the more complicated Shortcuts method if you would like the icons to perform special actions when you tap on them. The app includes detailed instructions for both options.

I think the new custom icon creator is really cool, and I hope you will agree.

Here is a quick 30 second promotional video about the Mister Icon app.



Here is a more extensive video that demonstrates how the Mister Icon app works.

Please note: I created the video above some time ago with a much earlier version of the Mister Icon app, running I think on iOS 11. It still demonstrates the general concept of what the app is about and the procedure used for adding icons to your home screen, but just be aware that if you are running an up-to-date device, the icon installation process will look a little different. I've been meaning to make a newer version of the video, but I have been using my time for much more important things, like developing the all new custom icon creator!
