Rearrange your iPhone home screen from your Mac

Wiggle mode is fine for moving one icon. For the other 146, there’s Homepage Panda — a real editor on your Mac. Drag and drop apps, widgets, and folders with your mouse, then apply everything to your phone in one click.

Why bother?

Your Mac beats wiggle mode

01

Save hours of tedious work

Moving apps one by one on a phone takes forever. With a mouse and a full-size screen, you can organize your entire iPhone home screen from your computer in minutes instead of hours.

02

A real editor, not a wrestling match

Drag and drop, search, undo and redo. See every page at once instead of long-pressing and praying an icon lands where you meant it to.

03

Do things your phone can’t

Search across all pages, sort alphabetically, mass-clean pages, back up and restore layouts. Functionality that simply doesn’t exist on iOS.

How it works

Plugged in to organized, in four steps

Features

A real iPhone home screen editor

Search bar showing 'go' query with matching apps highlighted across all pages and the All Apps sidebar listing matching apps with their page locations

Search

Find any app instantly

Type to search and matching apps highlight across all pages. The All Apps sidebar shows exactly where every app lives — which page, which folder. Drag apps directly from the list.

Games folder popup showing 11 game apps across 2 folder pages with an Add Page button

Folders

Open and organize folders

Click any folder to see its contents. Drag apps in and out, rearrange folder pages, or drag one app onto another to create a new folder — just like on your phone, but with a mouse.

Mass Edit dropdown showing five batch options: Sort Alphabetically, Delete All Folders, and Clean Pages, each with a description

Mass edit

Batch tools for big cleanups

Sort all apps alphabetically, delete all folders at once, or clean specific pages to consolidate your layout. Batch operations that would take ages on your phone happen in one click.

Backups dropdown showing chronological history of layout snapshots grouped by date with Restore buttons next to each entry

Backups

Automatic backups, one-click restore

Every layout is saved automatically before any change. Color-coded history tracks every load, apply, and restore. Roll back to any previous arrangement with one click.

What’s new

Version 0.8.0 24 September 2026

  • iOS 27 support: the new full-page "extra large portrait" widget (4×6) is recognised, sized and counted correctly.
  • The editor now reads the home screen grid (columns, rows, dock slots, folder grid) from the connected iPhone instead of assuming 4×6.
  • Onboarding hint for the iOS 26+ "Wired Accessories" setting, which can hide the phone from the app when set to Ask.

Questions

FAQ

Is it safe for my iPhone?

Yes. It uses Apple’s standard USB communication protocol — the same kind Finder and iTunes use. No jailbreak, no modifications to your phone. The app itself is signed and notarized by Apple, which means Apple checked it for malicious software, so macOS opens it without security warnings.

Can I create widgets or folders?

Folders can be created by dragging one app onto another, just like on your phone. Widgets can be moved and rearranged, but creating new widgets must be done on your iPhone first.

What about gaps / empty spaces?

iOS 18 and later let you add gaps between apps and drag widgets to any spot, but Apple’s API only exposes the order of items, not their positions. Applying a layout will collapse gaps and move custom-placed widgets back to their in-order position. Apps that live only in your App Library will also be added back to your Home Screen by iOS when you apply, and pages you hid become visible again — Homepage Panda lists the apps before you apply so you can redo both on the phone afterward.

What Mac do I need?

Any Mac running macOS 11 Big Sur or newer — both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) are supported.

Why not just use iPhone Mirroring?

iPhone Mirroring on macOS 15 and later lets you drag icons in a mirrored iPhone window, but it is still wiggle mode: one page visible at a time, one icon at a time, no search, no sorting, no batch tools, no backups. It is also not available in the EU. Homepage Panda shows every page side by side, moves apps in bulk, and works on any Mac running macOS 11 or newer with a USB cable. Compare all three ways to rearrange your iPhone home screen from a Mac.

How do I install it?

Download the .dmg file, open it, and drag Homepage Panda to your Applications folder. Double-click to launch.

Is this a subscription?

No. One-time payment — $9.99 for Personal (up to 2 Macs), $14.99 for Family (up to 5 Macs). You own it forever.

What’s the difference between Personal and Family?

Both plans include the full app with all features. Personal lets you use Homepage Panda on up to 2 Macs. Family lets you use it on up to 5 Macs — great for households with multiple computers. Both are one-time purchases with free updates.

How do I get my license key?

After purchase, your license key is sent to the email you used at checkout. Open Homepage Panda, paste the key, and click Activate.

What if I lose my license key?

Check your email from LemonSqueezy (the payment processor). Your key is in the order confirmation. You can also contact us for help.
