TUTORIAL STEPS:
- First things first download some wallpapers you wanna switch between.
- Then, in the photos app, go to each wallpaper and hit the share button and add each one to it's own album that you can look up later in the shortcuts app: I named mine things like writing focus or photo editing focus.
- Next go into settings and focus and make sure you've got all your focus modes setup and ready to go - and make sure to enable any custom home screens you want for each focus.
- Then pop into the shortcuts app and create a personal automation.
- Scroll down and select one of your focus modes.
- Select when turning on.
- On the next screen select add action and search for and select "find photos."
- Choose add filter on the next screen and then choose the photos album with the wallpaper you want (that you should've setup earlier).
- Then at the bottom search for and select the "set wallpaper" action.
- Then hit the little arrow next to photos and turn off show preview and hit next and finally turn off ask before running and you're done.
- Now just repeat the process for all your focus modes and get your widget added (and I added the widget to all my focus home screens so I can easily bounce between them all).

awesome video tutorial
Super productive apps, but in the end the only thing that's not productive in my environment, is me
Real
I'm a new iPad owner and I've searched for tutorials for automated homescreen when switching modes so THANKS for that. Great Video

Nice, thanks
You’re explanations on how to build a shortcut are so good. So many other TH-camrs just assume we know the basics and glance over these basics. Thanks for stepping through these Chris 😎👌🏼
Streaks! I have several apps that I use that I need to check in with daily, and that awesome little app will help me stay on top of those items without having to go digging for them. Thank you for that little $4.99 nugget! Note for others, if you already have a streak going, you can go into the settings and mark the calendar to get you to the number of day you're already on! Additionally, it chooses appropriate icons for your tasks.
I had been Poo-Pooing Focus Mode until this video. I had watched a few other podcasts about Focus Mode but none of them made the use of Focus Mode clear to me. Tying and showing the integration with shortcuts made it clear to me. You are one of my favorite podcasters.
The whole tutorial part was really useful! I now have a Work, Bible Study and Entertainment Focus Modes and Wallpapers! Thanks
I’d love to see your Bible study mode.
This is probably the best iPad video on TH-cam.
I have a shortcut with that switches my wallpaper between about 30 different wallpapers that i downloaded and put into an album. I love it 😃i have it automated so that when ever plug or unplug my charger or whenever the battery hits a multiple of 10
Can you share it ?
Just curious why you decided to automate the change as opposed to shuffling throughout the day. I have yet to create a shortcut for cycling through wallpapers but I want to, so just wanted to know what led you to those specific automations cause I assumed it was just a shuffle thing. Can you get pretty creative with the automations that could trigger a wallpaper change?
IOS 16 will have that native :) works like Apple Watch so on wake or hourly! It’s awesome and i love it so much!!
Can you plz tell me the steps to create widgets for running the automation 🙏
Thank you for posting. It was quite the little escapade today setting all this up. It was a little hard to follow at times because one app was immediately jumped into affer another, but I appreciate you showcasing your setup and what the new OS is capable of. I'm sure folks have already pointed this out, but the new focus modes for iPhone allow you to link wallpapers to your foci. Best of luck and keep it up!
I loved the the focus toggle… that’s pretty sweet. I’ll definitely be setting that up! Thank you!
I’ve seen a ton of iPad Home Screen productivity setups and feel like this is one I actually see myself using. Thanks for sharing 👏🏻
So cool the way you can set up different home screens and wallpapers with just a tap! I had no idea you could do that, but I'm gonna set that up today!
This is brilliant! I’m getting a new iPad Air 5 tomorrow and will be customising the Focus modes into oblivion. In love being organised!
😎
Great tips, thank you!! The automation was my favorite part of the video
Haven't used digital 'Post it' for years. Thanks for reminding me of this app! The ability to share notes between devices is awesome!
No one on TH-cam compares to the quality and substantive content as Chris …. “top shelf” always!!
Beautiful…I’m finally using this video as a “call to action”…that I’ve been avoiding for far too long!
Wow, thanks for these apps! I installed the timer, post-it and play video widget apps 👍
Excellent video! Thanks for creating this. I especially enjoyed the section at @8:27 about how you’re using Shortcuts. I have a small batch of shortcuts that I use regularly, either by tapping or using Siri. This has inspired me to take it to the next level. Thanks!
Chris, back at it again with the new productivity tips. Thanks bro!
Organizing the dock was extremely helpful.
This has to be one of the most useful IPad videos I’ve found so far. I’m going back and forth and using the recommended features. For some reason, I don’t have that display option for Countdown in my selections, but wow, what an app.
Super useful video, really helped to streamline my workflow. Why have I not bothered with focus mode or shortcuts until now! Thanks for the video 👍
The most helpful iPad productivity video on TH-cam. Thank you!
10:23 was the best for me. I kept rewatcing it to better understand and modify it for myself so thank you
So helpful I love my new wallpaper automations
Thank you for this!!
Man! Keep up the good work! You’re doing great contents!
This video just blew my mind multiple times! I knew about many of these things but hadn’t given them much thought until you put them into a productivity context. I can’t wait to put some of this stuff into practice!
Thanks for the recommendation, it really helps!
OMG I love this video it's very informative, now I have other ways to customize my iPad and feel like it is helping me more productive
Super video, short cut widgets helpful. I think showing me how to get organized better . Thank you.
wow - thank you so much! re-created my homescreens / automations / shortcuts with all your ideas and I love it. Especially Play (watch later) solves a big problem for me, as the „watch later“ feature from youtube is somehow not working for me with these round about 500 vids in there. Other tips have been great too, like: streaks, countdown, PostIt & timer.
The focus section caught my interest and I want to know more about focus!
Loved it, Chris! ❤️
Can’t wait to do this!
My favorite parts although I enjoyed the entire video.
0:00 Hey it's Chris!
5:21 3 web apps I can't do without
8:20 My shortcuts setup
Awesome Short cuts was my fave. Like the timer app too
Great video! Gotta check out the Play app. That sounds cool! Looking forward to your next podcast too!
Heck yea, I love this . I would be interested in more productivity videos
Thanks for the tutorial, very thorough
Thank you for bringing my new iPad air 5 to the next level
Nice! Very useful Chris.
My Home Screen overview = mind blown. Never thought of using the iPad pages as home screens for activities. Excellent lol
Very useful demonstration!
Great video as usual!
Loving the countdown widget.
I LOOOOVE your videos! You’ve totally helped me to level up my ipad performance. I do have a question tho! How do you set up your focus shortcuts in that neat little widget in the corner? I’ve been trying to figure that out and I just can’t. Please make a video explaining that part. Thank you so much!
thanks Chris, great video
9:09 I really appreciate the shortcuts infos. Thank you!
i do not usually write comments. my englisch is not very good. but this particular vid helped me a lot to organize my ipad mini. especially the green "control-widget" which is placed on the top left spot. ps: now i can hide the screens i do not use so often and reach them with one single click. thnx from greece, chris.
10:12 definitely do a more in-depth video walkthrough for the people with less automation and widget experience
Great show.
Great video. I just set up four focus screens and automated them.
Amazing!
Great Video!
Starting college in a couple of weeks and this just saved me 👏🏻
👍
Love your content!
🙌
This is such a great idea: at time mark 3:24 SAVE VIDEOS WATCH LATER. THIS IS A REALLY COOL IMPLEMENTATION!!
This video changed my productivity in my classroom! Changing focus modes and backgrounds for each class saved me so much time. It was great! Thank you. Currently my backgrounds have stopped changing with the focus modes. I've gone through and redone each mode with the correct background and nothing happens. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks!
Thanks for a useable guide 😊🇫🇴
You have no idea how many times I had to rewatch this! I’m new on using an iPad as a working/productive tool. So I found your set up very interesting, but man! Setting up the shortcuts with the focus modes, almost made me throw it away!!! Lol. But I finally made it… Thanks a lot!! Great content, very helpful! HI from 🇲🇽
Still trying to get around on how to do it. I keep re-watching the video over and over again
Yeah he forgot to add a step to connect the focus mode automation to a shortcut, trying to find that missing piece…
@@glassmw9823 Me too
@@PeurToni @glassmw9823 I can't seem to figure that last step out. Could you help me out?
Timer app is such a W
Thanks! Appreciate your content.
Post it note 👍🏽 different screens thanks 😊 for sharing
I found the Countdown widget to be most useful, as I can then remind myself as to how long I've got till my next assignment is due. I also really need to get my Focus screens set up properly, as I still haven't done that yet!
Which countdown app is it? When I looked it up there was about ten lol
@@TheHockey1980 Yes...which countdown widget is this?
Shortcuts and Focus Modes are 2 reasons keeping me from jumping to Samsung. Hoping for a meaningful update on IPADOS16 this June.
Hey Chris, do one for the iPad Mini.
Thanks for the videos excellent work. Question, which sticky notes app are you using? I’m looking them up as I type this and there are a lot of them! Thanks.
Great watch as usual, what skin is on the back of your magic keyboard?
I see how “Andy Mineo” keeps popping up🎧
🔥🔥🔥
Hi, new subscriber here. Really enjoyed this video. Would you care sharing links to these shortcuts to download? Much appreciated. Thanks!
Sick
Hey Chris happy new year, loved the videos, I had my focus mode backgrounds chaining brilliantly now with IPadOS 17.2 they’ve stopped working and the set up screens are different to your tutorial. Any help please would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, really useful tip and very easy to follow, I make the widgets for focus mode, on Ipad 16, when I updated to 17, these ones doesn´t, work, and menu has change, do you have any video on how to make this same shortcuts to focus mode on the 17 version?
Great video. How do you stack multiple shortcut widgets so they scroll? Thanks
Which is the sticky notes app? Great video
Great video! By the way, how to make shotrcuts that switch home screen apps like "Work" or "Writing"?
That timer app! Dang!!!
What’s the app name please
Love this! My personal lightbulb, “OOOOOOOH” moment was at the end. I search for apps all the time. I can’t find the icons for them most of the time. I had no idea that I could tap and drag an app icon from the search results. 🤯🤩 it’s those little things that make a huge, even if subconscious, difference. Thanks!!
Very good tips! But I can't create a link between the automation and a widget. Do you use a special widget? Or can you tell me the steps?
I am obsessed with this video. Do you have links for the beautiful wallpapers you are using?
Canoopsy.media
I think an update in iOS 16.1 broke the automation to change a wallpaper with the focus change. There seems to be a “limit” step added.
Also can’t seem to make a folder with automations intended to create a shortcut widget for different focus modes
This part was really use full 10:31
So many work arounds
Is there a video like this that you have done for setting up an iPhone? Maybe not so much for productivity / work purposes but just general iPhone set up to minimize clutter, organize apps (I have WAY too many) and any shortcuts or automations?
Can you have a tutorial on how to make a shortcut widget in your lock screen and would redirect in your desired app. Thank you.
Hi Chris, incredibly helpful tutorial. You’ve helped me transform my iPad into a device I actually want to use more than my laptop. However, when setting up the wallpaper change shortcut, my images always end up zoomed in instead of full sized. Is there any way to fix this? The perspective zoom function is not turned on under the automation. Thanks!
I'm also finding it zooms into my images for some reason. Toggling 'perspective zoom' doesn't seem to make a difference. Anyone got any ideas?
My favorite starts at 8:20 through to the end.
quick question. I tried the shortcut for the diffrent focus modes. I got the automation working. But how do i get the focus buttons in a widget like in the video? Thanks in advance :D
please do a "best game for your ipad" video, i love you minimalist style and hope you can find same style games. hope you consider my ideas.
What app are you writing emails with? Thanks in advance!
How did you transfer you shortcut automation with focus mode in your widget?
How do you add the personal automation to a folder so they can be in a widget??
How do I move the automation shortcut into my focus modes folder?
Hi Chris, sure that the shortcuts with the changing wallpapers for each focus still works? Or did any changes in iOS happened? I was looking so much for this function but it just doesn’t work. It changes just for one shortcut (focus&wallpaper) and all additional focus&shortcuts diner work. Any idea where this comes from ..?
Best from Germany

When you switch cameras, be sure to look at the new camera and then switch back. Its a small thing, but looks more professional and makes the watcher feel at home.
Nah
@@Dailytekk Yeah. That's doo doo. Current approach and style is fine. If this channel needs anything, it's more extended demos of the apps on show in a particular workflow.
This video is awesome as a new iPad user! But can anyone tell me how do i change my wallpaper to back to the original when not on focus mode? I notice that if i turn the focus off it’ll keep the wallpaper of the previous focus…
