iossetupshortcuts

1. Install the app

  1. Install Lock Screen Calendar: Locka from the App Store.
  2. Allow Calendar and Reminders when asked.

2. Follow the three steps in the app

Step 1. Add Shortcut

  • Tap Add Shortcut. The app adds a ready-made shortcut.
  • When iOS asks, tap Allow.
  • Tap Run Shortcut. If asked again, choose Always Allow.
  • If the Lock Screen does not change, touch and hold it, then select the calendar wallpaper.

Step 2. Set Time Trigger

  • Open the Shortcuts app, go to the Automation tab, and tap New Automation.
  • Choose Time of Day. Set a time (for example 8:00 AM), Repeat Daily, and Run Immediately.
  • Tap Next.
  • Select LockScreen Calendar Wallpaper. Keep that exact name.

Step 3. Close App Trigger

  • Open the Shortcuts app, go to the Automation tab, and tap New Automation.
  • Choose App, then Lock Screen Calendar: Locka, and set it to Is Closed.
  • Turn on Run Immediately, then tap Next.
  • Select LockScreen Calendar Wallpaper again.

3. After setup

  • To refresh right away, run the shortcut again, or open the app and tap UPDATE.
  • Calendar and reminder changes show on the Lock Screen only after the shortcut runs, either by hand or from an automation.
  • Optional: long-press the Lock Screen → Customize to add Lock Screen widgets.
  • Open the Wallpaper tab.
  • Swipe to a calendar style. Optionally tap Customize, then Set as Current or UPDATE.

4. Troubleshooting

  • Cannot find the guide: Wallpaper tab → scroll under the preview → Auto Wallpaper Setup Guide.
  • Wallpaper did not change: Run Shortcut again. Select the Lock Screen that shows the new calendar. In Automations, turn off Ask Before Running.
  • Unable to Set Wallpaper Photo: Open the shortcut (⋯) and pick a different Wallpaper slot. Keep the name LockScreen Calendar Wallpaper.
  • Shortcut name was changed or the action is missing: Delete it and add it again from Auto Wallpaper Setup. Renaming it breaks Update from the app.
  • Events missing: Allow Calendar and Reminders, turn on the calendars you want in Customize, then run the shortcut again.
