Requests go to the pack's GitHub page. Most-requested widgets get built first.

💡 These are live mini-apps on your home screen. A real resizable widget that sits on the home screen needs either KWGT (How to apply → Widgets tab) or a proper app from the Play Store.

Setup

How to apply

▾
1
Install a Custom Launcher

Get Nova Launcher, Niagara or Lawnchair from the Play Store — all free.

2
Set It as Your Default Launcher

Tap the Home button — Android should ask which app to use. Pick your new launcher and tap Always. If it doesn't ask, go to Settings → Apps → Default apps → Home app and pick it there.

3
Download & Unzip the Icon Pack

Unzip the Complete Icon Pack to your phone storage using a file manager like Files by Google.

4
Apply the Wallpaper

Long-press the home screen → Wallpapers → choose the mobile wallpaper from your files.

5
Change Any App Icon

Long-press an app → Edit → tap the icon → Pick image → browse to your PNG.

💡 Best icon size for Android home screens: 128px or 256px.
1
Open the Shortcuts App

It's pre-installed on every iPhone. Search for it if you can't find it.

2
Create a New Shortcut

Tap + → Add Action → search Open App → choose the app.

3
Set Your Custom Icon

Tap ⋯ → Add to Home Screen → tap the icon → Choose Photo → select your PNG.

4
Apply the Wallpaper

Save the mobile_iPhone wallpaper to Photos → Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper.

⚠️ iOS shows the Shortcuts app briefly when tapping a custom icon — an Apple restriction. Use 256px or 512px icons for sharpest results.
1
Find the App in Finder

Open Finder → Applications → locate the app you want to customize.

2
Open Get Info

Right-click the app → Get Info (or press ⌘I).

3
Replace the Icon

Click the small icon top-left of the Info window, then drag your PNG onto it (or copy/paste).

💡 Use 512px icons on Mac for crisp Retina display results.
1
Right-click a Shortcut

Right-click any desktop shortcut → Properties.

2
Change Icon

On the Shortcut tab click Change Icon → Browse.

3
Select Your Icon

Pick a .ico file (convert the PNG first if needed) → OK → Apply.

💡 Windows shortcuts need .ico format — convert the 256px PNGs with a free online converter.

Set any NMS animation as your lock screen wallpaper automatically every time you plug in. Works on Samsung via Modes & Routines. iPhone setup coming soon.

Android — Samsung Modes & Routines
1
Open Settings

Go to your phone's Settings app and scroll down to Modes and Routines.

2
Go to Routines → tap +

Select the Routines tab at the bottom, then tap + in the top right to create a new routine.

3
Set the trigger

Tap Add condition → Charging status → select Charging (tick both Wired and Wireless) → Done.

4
Set the action

Tap Add action → Change Lock screen wallpaper → browse to your NMS MP4 file and select it.

5
Optional: keep screen on

Add a second action: Always On Display → set to On / Always so the animation stays visible while charging.

6
Set duration & save

Set Keep routine until → Forever. Samsung automatically adds a "When routine ends" block that reverts your wallpaper when you unplug. Tap Done.

💡 The routine auto-reverts your normal lock screen the moment you unplug — no manual reset needed.
iPhone — Shortcuts + third-party app

iOS doesn't allow custom video lock screens natively. The workaround is a screen animation app from the App Store, triggered automatically by a Shortcuts automation when you plug in.

1
Get a screen animation app

Search the App Store for a charging animation or screen saver app that supports custom video or image import. Save your NMS MP4 (or a still frame) into the app.

2
Open the Shortcuts app

It's pre-installed on every iPhone. Tap the Automation tab at the bottom.

3
Create a new automation

Tap + → New Automation → scroll to Charger → select Is Connected → Next.

4
Add the action

Tap Add Action → search Open App → choose your animation app → Next.

5
Turn off the confirmation prompt

Disable Ask Before Running so the app opens automatically when you plug in → Done.

💡 On iOS 17+ you can also use StandBy mode — place your phone landscape while charging and it shows a full-screen customisable display automatically, no extra app needed.

Want a widget without installing anything? Ready-made widgets are in the Widgets section ↑. This tab is the advanced route: build your own home-screen widget with KWGT.

Advanced: build your own home-screen widget with KWGT (Android)

Add an actual NMS-styled clock/date widget to your home screen using KWGT (free) and the Widget Kit download below — two transparent frames, both fonts (Orbitron + the NMS alphabet), and the exact colors to match.

Example NMS-styled clock and date widget built with the Widget Kit and KWGT ▶ Get KWGT — Google Play (free)
1
Get the Widget Kit & install KWGT

Download Widget Kit from the Downloads section, and get KWGT Kustom Widget Maker free from the Play Store (button above).

2
Add a KWGT widget

Long-press your home screen → Widgets → drag KWGT onto the screen — its editor opens automatically.

3
Add the NMS frame

Tap + → Image → browse to the frame PNG from the Widget Kit (wide for clock+date, square for something compact).

4
Add clock & date text

Tap + → Text for each — set font to Orbitron (the .ttf is in the kit, since KWGT's own font search doesn't reliably find it), clock in white #EAF6FF, date in gold #F0A500.

💡 Full step-by-step — plus a real on/off Settings toggle for the NMS font, and how to export your finished widget as a reusable .kwgt file — is inside the Widget Kit zip.
⚠️ KWGT is Android-only — there's no direct iOS equivalent that works the same way (image + freely-placed text). iOS widget apps use Apple's own WidgetKit system instead.
Downloads

Grab the files

▾

Everything is free. Start with the icon pack, then add wallpapers, animations and the font.

Short on space? Grab just the parts you need

Each part is the same files as the full packs above, just split up so you only keep what you use. Once you've set an icon or wallpaper you can delete the zip.

Spread the word

Share the pack

If the pack works for you, sharing it on Reddit or social media is the best way to help other travellers find it.

Questions

FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes — every icon, wallpaper, animation and the font are free to download and use. No account, no paywall.

Do I need a special launcher?

On Android, a custom launcher (Nova, Niagara or Lawnchair) makes applying icons easiest. On iPhone you can use the built-in Shortcuts app — no extra app needed.

Will it work on iPhone?

Yes. iOS applies custom icons through Shortcuts. One Apple quirk: tapping a themed icon flashes the Shortcuts app for a moment before opening — that can't be bypassed.

What's the "install app" button?

This site is a PWA, so you can add it to your home screen and open it like a native app — it then works offline. On Android you'll get an install prompt; on iPhone use Share → Add to Home Screen.

Found a bug or have an idea?

Leave a review, report a bug or ask for something new. elegra1965 reads every message.

Is this an official No Man's Sky product?

No. It's a free fan-made project inspired by the game's aesthetic and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Hello Games.
