Find your creations

The right gradient. Right when you need it.

Search your saved gradients

Find a gradient by name, color, mood, or texture. Spend less time browsing and more time creating.

Find it in Spotlight

Look up a saved gradient from your device’s search. Recognize it by its name and preview, then tap to open it in MeshCraft.

Ask Siri to open it

On iOS 27, ask Siri to open a saved gradient by name. Your creation opens in MeshCraft, ready for your next idea.

“Siri, open Aurora Drift in MeshCraft.”

Requires iOS 27 and availability of the new Siri experience. Shortcuts remains available on iOS 26 and later.

Make it a Shortcut

Bring your saved gradients into Apple’s Shortcuts app. Use a favorite, your latest creation, or a random gradient to build your own wallpaper routine.

Available on iOS 26 and later.

Built for color work

A focused studio for expressive gradients.

Direct mesh editing

Shape the image by moving control points instead of fighting sliders.

Private Cloud Compute

On iOS 27, MeshCraft uses Apple’s Private Cloud Compute when available to suggest palettes and generate search descriptions and tags. If it’s unavailable or a request fails, the app falls back to the on-device model when available.

Spotlight

Search saved gradients by name and preview, with descriptions and tags when available.

Support

Help for MeshCraft.

Requirements

MeshCraft requires iOS 26 or later. It is available for iPhone and iPad, and some interface details may adapt to the device size.

iCloud sync

MeshCraft supports iCloud. To sync saved creations across devices, sign in to an iCloud account on each device and keep iCloud enabled in Settings.

Where is library search?

Search appears when the library you’re viewing contains more than 10 gradients. Try a saved name first. Descriptive terms only match when descriptions or tags have been generated for that creation.

Opening with Siri

Use the name you saved in MeshCraft when asking Siri to open a gradient. This feature requires iOS 27 and the new Siri experience. On iOS 26, use Shortcuts to retrieve a selected, latest, or random saved gradient.

Creating a gradient

Start with a device, square, or custom size. Drag mesh points to shape the gradient, adjust colors, apply overlays or filters, then save or export the result.

Exporting to Photos

If exporting fails, check Photos permissions in iOS Settings and confirm there is enough storage available on the device.

Shortcuts

MeshCraft exposes App Intents to Shortcuts so automations can retrieve a selected, latest, or random saved mesh image.

Missing creations

If saved meshes do not appear after installing on a new device, confirm the same iCloud account is signed in and give iCloud time to finish syncing.

Apple Intelligence palettes

Palette suggestions depend on Apple Intelligence availability for the device, region, and language. The editor still works without them.

Crashes or glitches

Keep MeshCraft and iOS updated. Crash diagnostics may be sent through Sentry to help fix stability problems without identifying the user.
