Organizing apps on your iPhone sucks.
Do it on your Mac instead.
Rearrange your iPhone Home Screen from your Mac, then apply the layout directly to your iPhone.
Free to download. Requires a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later, and an iPhone on iOS 27 connected with a USB data cable (not a charge-only cable). iPhone Duo isn’t currently supported. After downloading, open Thumbwise and choose Move to Applications.
Make it yours, without the fiddling
More room.
Much less frustration.
Make room in App Bank
Set apps aside while you rearrange, then place them where you want.
Keep your choices in place
Move an app without shuffling the others. Apps you keep in the App Library stay there, off your Home Screen.
Optional, data-informed optimization
Fewer swipes. A smarter layout.
- We use your available app usage data to estimate swipes between your Home Screen pages over the past 30 days.
- Make your iPhone more efficient with a layout designed to reduce those swipes.
- Choose an organization mode and let Thumbwise arrange your layout for you.
Another way to make it yours
Organize with your AI assistant.
- Connect a compatible AI assistant through Thumbwise’s MCP tools.
- With your authorization, it can use your layout and available usage data to customize the arrangement.
- Review the result, then choose Apply to send it directly to your iPhone.
From a customer
Thumbwise completely transformed my iPhone Home Screen. After years of accumulated clutter, I now have 55 beautifully organized folders, with my most important apps exactly where I want them. The app is intuitive, powerful, and its AI integration takes organization to another level. What really stands out is Drake's incredible responsiveness—he listens to feedback, fixes issues quickly, and genuinely cares about his users. Highly recommended!
From a customer
Thumbwise is a life saver. I use my phone to manage a theater company and being able to quickly move icons with AI storing the template sounds small, but getting 200 people in to see a show requires efficiency. And different shows use different app combos. 10/10 would recommend!
From a customer
Just used it and arranged 10 pages worth of apps! Fantastic!!! Best 15 bucks I spent in a long while!

Can I rearrange my iPhone apps from my Mac?
Yes. Thumbwise reads your iPhone layout over a USB cable, lets you arrange apps, folders and widgets on your Mac, then applies the layout directly to your iPhone.
Do I need to jailbreak my iPhone?
No. Thumbwise uses Apple’s device connection: connect with a cable and pair through Apple’s “Trust This Computer” prompt.
Is my data uploaded?
Your iPhone layout and app activity stay on your Mac. There is no account and no Thumbwise server for that data. See Privacy for what the app does send.
What does it cost?
Downloading, organizing and previewing are free. $14.99 USD once unlocks Apply. A step-by-step guide walks through the whole process.
