Japanese sentence wallpapers
Turn a sentence you're learning into a lock-screen wallpaper — the kanji brushed behind it, real furigana above, in JIVX's seasonal themes. Try an example below; in the app you can make one from any sentence.

Set it as your lock screen
Download one and set it the normal way — or drop a few into a folder and let your phone rotate them, so a new sentence quietly greets you every time you pick it up.
iPhone
- 1Tap Download — the PNG saves to Photos.
- 2Open it in Photos, tap Share, then Use as Wallpaper.
- 3Tap Add, then Set as Wallpaper Pair.
＋ － Make it rotate automatically
Photo Shuffle — changes on every unlock
Save a handful of wallpapers to a new album. Go to Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper → Photo Shuffle, set Shuffle Frequency to On Lock, and (iOS 17.1+) point it at that album. iOS only shuffles photos from your library, so keep the album tidy.
Shortcuts + Files — keeps them out of Photos
Drop the PNGs in a folder in the Files app. Build a Shortcut: Get Contents of Folder → Get Item from List (Random Item) → Set Wallpaper. Trigger it from a Personal Automation (time of day, or when you open an app). There's no “on unlock” trigger and it can be a touch flaky, but it never touches your camera roll.
Android
- 1Tap Download to save the PNG.
- 2Open it, tap the menu, then Set as wallpaper.
- 3Choose Lock screen (or Both).
＋ － Make it rotate automatically
Hide them from your gallery first
Put the wallpapers in their own folder and add an empty file named .nomedia inside it. Your Photos/Gallery app will skip the folder, so the wallpapers don't clutter your camera roll.
Point a changer at the folder
A wallpaper-changer app (timer-based) is the easy route. For a fresh sentence on every wake, Tasker works well: List Files → Variable Randomize → Set Wallpaper (Lock screen), triggered by the Display Off event. The built-in Samsung shuffle is finicky and often missing, so a dedicated app is more reliable.
