Hi Product Hunt Community 🙌 I'm Allan, one of the creators of Snaplink Wallpapers and our team is excited about our launch on Product Hunt today! This project started with a visit to the Augmented World Expo EU2023 (AWE) conference in Vienna where I connected with people just by showing them my phone's lock screen. Before the conference I photoshopped myself a nice wallpaper with a QR code linking to my Instagram account along with my Instagram handle below it. The feedback was very positive and many people I've talked to wanted to have social QR codes on their wallpapers as well. A little while later we are here launching Snaplink Wallpapers, an iOS app that helps you to create your own social QR code empowered wallpapers. 🌁 Add your own background image 🔗 Add your social media profiles or web links (some only available after upgrading to Pro) 🎨 Change the styling, size and position of your QR code ⬆️ Export your new wallpaper to your Photo Library 👍 Create multiple custom wallpapers (tap & hold lock screen to easily switch among them on iOS) 🚨 No, we don't track any of the generated links. All your data is stored locally on your phone. No proxy in-between. 🚀 Pro Version for just $0.99 / one-time-purchase / lifetime @david_pfluegl1, @anthony_ferrando and I built Snaplink Wallpapers to make it faster and easier to connect with people and share your work. Thanks again to all of our existing users on from day-one. Your support means everything to us! 🙌 We have more plans with this project and hope you find it as useful and fun as we do your day to day. Looking forward to your feedback. Cheers on social empowered lock screens and connecting! 🤳📱✨ Thanks 🙏

@david_pfluegl1 @anthony_ferrando @sandy_liusy Absolutely! That's exactly what we aimed for when developing this app and also how we use it in many situations of our day-to-day. Thank you for your support!
Abdal Yousef
Very nice and useful product. Congrats on the launch, Allan, David, Anthony. @david_pfluegl1 @anthony_ferrando @allanberger
Michael Kamleitner
Great idea, very useful for tradeshows etc!
Allan Berger
@_subnet Many thanks, Michael! Glad you like it. Exactly, tradeshows, conferences or networking meetups is where your social QR wallpaper shall be helpful to connect with each other with just a scan.
Michael Kamleitner
@allanberger The Linkedin QR code feature (still quite hidden in their search bar) is great already, but the Snaplink lockscren makes it even easier!
Allan Berger
@_subnet You won't imagine, while trying to connect on LinkedIn with a few people at the Snapchat Meetup pre Augmented World Expo in Vienna last year, exactly this was one of the main reasons that led us to develop Snaplink Wallpapers! 🤗
David Pichsenmeister
such a simple but great idea! it's always a hassle to give someone my contact / socials especially if you have a complicated last name like me 😂 love the simplicity & design of the app
Allan Berger
@3x14159265 Thank you for your kind words, David! I know the hassle, for me it’s Allan with two L’s! This is another main reason why we think this app can be helpful in the day to day when making a new connection. We’re glad you enjoy the app. Thanks again!
Clemens Helm
Great idea, this looks really useful for conferences, meetups or whenever you want to connect in a rush.
Allan Berger
@clemenshelm Many thanks, Clemens! Glad you see the value of the app and hope it empowers your lock screen for exactly the use cases you've mentioned! Being at conferences and having to think about what and how the easiest and quickest way to connect was, was the main reason we've built Snaplink Wallpapers.

Congrats on the launch, this looks quite useful. Do you have plans to launch an android version as well?
Allan Berger
@christoph_loewenherz Thank you Christoph! Yes, an Android version is planned going forward. Stay tuned and please keep your feedback coming.
Allan Berger
@christoph_loewenherz @electrobabe Our team appreciates your feedback, many thanks! We are eager to ship Snaplink Wallpapers for Android users. Until then and in the meantime we hope that scanning social QR wallpapers from both, Android and iOS smartphone cameras, provides value to all users!
Vittorio Banfi
Great idea and amazing execution!
Allan Berger
@vittorio_banfi Vittorio, thank you very much for your support and for your kind words! We're glad you like the concept behind our app and hope it provides value to you in your day-to-day networking. If you have any suggestions or ideas for how we can make our product even better, please feel free to share them with us. Our team is always eager to improve.
Emanuele Capparelli
Great idea, I literally have this problem every week when I attend meetups and meet new people there, we usually resort to WhatsApp QR codes but I’m going to stop doing that now if I can send them to my business / social accounts directly. Thank you Allan & co.!
Allan Berger
@immanuelkapa Thanks so much Emanuele! Hope the app makes connecting easier for you in the day-to-day. Please keep your feedback coming after using it for a while. 🤳📱✨ Also, I have created a few dedicated Snaplink Wallpapers for specific products or landing pages that I share time by time when meeting people and friends. I noticed you launched a product a few days ago, therefore I thought I'd mention it and it might be useful to share a new tool/product you've developed. All the best, Allan
Emanuele Capparelli
@allanberger just got the app and bought the Pro version, extremely helpful! It would have saved me a lot of time last year when I was trying to launch a product at a conference.
Allan Berger
@immanuelkapa Thanks for going Pro! Me and the team very much appreciate it! 🙌🚀
Rick Fan
Congrats! That's a brilliant idea.
Allan Berger
@rick_fan We’re glad you enjoy it and hope the app brings value to you when being at future networking events. Thank you for your kind words.
Micha Cassola
Cool idea to have a digital business card always ready in form of the QR code. Are you working on an automated way to have the wallpaper set directly from the app instead of having to manually export it and choose it as your wallpaper?
Allan Berger
@michacassola Thank you for your positive feedback and suggestion! We're glad that you enjoy the convenience of having a digital business card readily available on your phone's lock screen with Snaplink Wallpapers :) Regarding your question about automating the process of setting the wallpaper directly from the app, it's definitely something we've considered and are actively exploring. As far as we understand, currently it is not possible to set wallpapers directly out of an app on iOS though. It's definitely high priority for us to be able to do this and we're keeping it on our radar! Thank you for your interest and support, and if you have any further suggestions or feedback, please feel free to share. We're always eager to hear from our users as we strive to improve and innovate.
Germán Merlo
Hey Allan! It's awesome. It really simplifies the way we connect, building a powerful experience of engagement. Hats off my friend. Wishing you all the best on this amazing launch.
Joginder Tanikella
Looks like Snaplink has solved the friction point for digital business cards! Lock screen wallpaper is the way to go! Congratulations and wishing all the best!
Allan Berger
@jogindertanikella We’re glad you see value in this app and hope it serves well to you in your day-to-day and it helps you to connect quick, easy and comfortable. Thank you for your kind wishes, Joginder!
Saif Khan
Good luck today!
Allan Berger
@saifrkhaan Appreciate your support, Saif! Hope the app brings value to you while networking!
Pao Lee
very useful app, great design too! Is there an app planned for the apple watch?
David Pfluegl
@pao_lee Thanks Pao Lee! Working on it =)
Allan Berger
@pao_lee Thank you Pao Lee, we can't wait to have Snaplink Wallpapers on our wrists to connect by simply showing our social QR codes. 🤳⌚️✨
Rami - Browsingbuddies.com
that's super niche and I think it can work. I imagine if one is at some sort of conference or a meetup then this will be ideal! maybe make the app free and sell of the users information and use A.i. to categorize them or maybe when they sign up have them categorize themselves.
Allan Berger
@kingromstar Thank you for your thoughts and feedback, Rami! Conferences, meetups, trade shows and events where you’re getting to meet a lot of people are indeed ideal use cases to have a Snaplink Wallpaper ready at hand on your phone’s lock screen.
Philipp Omenitsch
Congrats! I like that I can easily switch between multiple QR codes!
Allan Berger
@rgndws We very much appreciate it! Glad you enjoy that feature. Also, switching between your different wallpapers is an ease on iOS by simply tapping and holding the lockscreen + swiping for different QR codes. Please keep feedback coming.
Marc Andre
Congrats on the launch! This looks very useful, and the price is amazing.
Allan Berger
@marc_andre1 Thank you for checking and mentioning the price. We don’t want price to be a barrier to actually make use of Snaplink Wallpapers, therefore the free version and as by the state of today, as well as a very low cost one-time payment version at $0.99 only. Our main driver is that this app provides value in the day to day of doing business, networking, sharing work, connecting with each other IRL and many more various ways a simple URL can point to. Thanks again!
Abdullah Al Afique
Launching soon!
Very intriguing approach. It is a fantastic tool for networking and sharing work seamlessly. I would like to know what inspired you to focus specifically on integrating social QR codes into wallpapers rather than other mediums or methods of sharing. By the way great job on creating Snaplink Wallpapers! Congratulations!
Allan Berger
@af1que1 Thank you so much for your kind words and kudos! We're glad that you find our app useful for networking and sharing work quick and easy right from your phone's lock screen. Regarding your question about our inspiration for integrating social QR codes into phone wallpapers specifically — this is a very good question! We actually made a lot of thoughts on providing Snaplink QR codes for T-Shirts, Business Cards and other physical items where appropriate and useful. We're having plans to explore these directions as well. We thought we'd start with smartphones, as they are an object that we carry with us all the time, and easily customizable to your preference on the fly. In the day-to-day we scan QR codes or look for ways to connect with each other by having to navigate ourselves in certain apps e.g. Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok or LinkedIn to find a QR code and ways on how to scan them (usually with the integrated camera of an app) — or by writing phone numbers and names down and navigating through your phone's operating system. So why not take a shortcut and make connecting effortless, quick and easy and have the preferred way to connect on your lock screen directly (without having to unlock your phone or having to carry around an additional physical item like your business card) and scannable for the default camera of today's Android or iOS smartphones? 😊 We're continuously exploring new ways for improvement and innovation, so your feedback and suggestions are very appreciated. Thank you again for your support!
