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!

@_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.

@allanberger The Linkedin QR code feature (still quite hidden in their search bar) is great already, but the Snaplink lockscren makes it even easier!

@_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! 🤗

Launching soon!
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.!

@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

@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.

@immanuelkapa Thanks for going Pro! Me and the team very much appreciate it! 🙌🚀
Simona O'Neill
Very nice 😊I like this idea a lot. I don’t know anyone who still carries business cards around with them. Nor do I know anyone who collects business cards. So this is a great solution for professionals who are on the go meeting clients. It’s so convenient as everyone has a mobile phone with them at all times . Congrats and best of luck with the launch 😊

@simona_o_neill3 Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Simona! We're excited to hear that you find our app practical for professionals including yourself! Your feedback means a lot to us as we continue to work towards making connecting quicker and easier with Snaplink Wallpapers. If you have any further feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to share. We appreciate it!
Simona O'Neill
@allanberger No problem at all. I just purchased it and I do have a question. How can I see all of my links and QR codes on the same screen? Currently it only lets me save each wallpaper separately. So for example if I have my email link, website and phone number set up I can only pick one of them to be displayed on my screen. It would be great if there was a way to scroll through my list of links and pick which QR code I want to share each time. Currently the only way to do that is via the app. 😊

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.

@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!
Philipp Omenitsch
Congrats! I like that I can easily switch between multiple QR codes!
Allan Berger
Maker
@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.
Rami
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
Maker
@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.
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
Maker
@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.

great product, will you guys be integrating nfc connection too?
Allan Berger
Maker
@ruben_boonz Thank you Ruben, we are generally looking into multiply different ways to make connecting easier and quicker. Connecting via NFC would be a nice addition in that regard. Thank you for your feedback, please keep it coming!
Allan Berger

@ruben_boonz Also, is there a specific user flow that you have in mind? Your perspective on that would be very helpful.

@allanberger Congratulations on the launch. This is a clever use of the lock screen, finally making it useful. Best wishes for your product's success.

@anand_shah11 Thank you very much for your kind words, Anand! Our team is glad you see the value of the app and that it empowers your phone's lock-screen. ✨ What I personally like is to use/switch to different wallpapers in different situations, since it is so easy in iOS. For example, being at an Augmented Reality Conference, I have my Instagram Filter Profile on. While being at a business event, I have my LinkedIn wallpaper on. When promoting the business of a friend, I have their company website on my QR wallpaper, along with a picture of the shop/company/hotel etc. At an art gallery and as 3D artist I would have my Instagram Profile with my 3D work on my lock screen so I can share my work as quick as possible when the situation to showcase it occurs. Many thanks again!
Clemens Helm
Great idea, this looks really useful for conferences, meetups or whenever you want to connect in a rush.
Allan Berger
Maker
@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.

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!
