✨ Here’s how I set up my iPad Pro 11”! I use it primarily for planning and organization, but also use it to make art, use social media, and play a few games.
❗️ For the photo & calendar widgets, I used the Widgetsmith app. To change app icons, I used the built in Shortcuts app.
🩷 Having an iPad with a cute setup helps me stay motivated to be on top of my organization. I’m more inclined to open and use it when I know I get to look at some of my favorite things - people, pets, characters, singers, and art!
⭐️ Do you spend a lot of time on how your phone or tablet screen looks?
... Read moreHey everyone! Following up on my initial iPad setup post, I wanted to dive deeper into how to truly make your iPad aesthetic and organized, just like mine! It's not just about looking pretty; a personalized iPad can seriously boost your motivation and make daily tasks more enjoyable.
First off, let’s talk about that *aesthetic iPad home screen setup*. It all starts with your wallpaper. Choose something that genuinely sparks joy – whether it’s a serene landscape, a vibrant abstract piece, or even a collage of your favorite characters. I love how a simple change can instantly set the mood for my whole device!
Next, the magic of *custom widgets*. This is where apps like Widgetsmith truly shine. I personally use it for my photo widgets that feature loved ones, pets (my cute rats!), and even inspiring anime characters. Imagine having a little Totoro or Hello Kitty peeking out from your screen! Beyond photos, consider a calendar widget (super handy for staying on top of life!), *motivational quotes*, or even doodle art to add a unique, artistic touch. You can adjust sizes and styles to fit your theme – for instance, if you're aiming for *pink aesthetic iPad widgets*, Widgetsmith offers tons of color customization options.
Then we move to *personalizing app icons*. This might seem daunting, but the built-in Shortcuts app makes it surprisingly easy. You can download icon packs or create your own using your favorite images. This truly ties your whole aesthetic together, moving beyond the standard icons for apps like App Store, Photos, or YouTube, and giving them a cohesive look that matches your chosen theme.
Don't forget how to organize your iPad aesthetic through smart folder use. Instead of just dumping apps, categorize them mindfully. I have folders like 'Utilities', 'Organization' (where my Google Calendar, Drive, Procreate, and Goodnotes live), 'Art', 'Socials', 'Games', and 'Shopping'. This keeps everything tidy and easy to find, preventing clutter from ruining your perfectly crafted aesthetic.
Finally, the accessories! An iPad with Apple Pencil aesthetic setup isn't complete without the right physical touches. My iPad Pro 11" looks amazing in its lavender case – finding a case that complements your digital aesthetic really completes the look. And of course, having a stylus handy adds to the functional beauty, especially if you're into digital art or note-taking with apps like Procreate.
Creating an aesthetic iPad isn't just about superficial beauty; it's about crafting a digital space that inspires you daily. Give these tips a try and see how much more you love using your device!
