2024 iPhone Home Screens

As the year comes to a close, I want to take a quick snapshot of what my home screens look like now so I can compare them in a year from now.

I say home screens because I use focus modes extensively to change my home screens (depending on my current focus):

Focus Mode Triggered
Morning Automatically at 4:00 AM and off either at 9:00 AM (workdays) or 12:00 PM (weekends)
Fitness Automatically when I start/stop a workout
Work Automatically at 9:00 AM on weekdays
Driving Automatically when I start/stop driving
Personal Manually when I want to be in a Focus mode
Do Not Disturb Manually whenever I need to be completely offline
Evening Automatically by 8:30 PM
Sleep Automatically when my Wind Down schedule starts

Let’s go through them roughly by time of day:
