Lock-screen notification mockup generator
TextLab renders a notification the way it appears on a locked iPhone — the frosted card, the app icon, the sender and message, the timestamp. Type your text, set the details, and export a transparent PNG you can drop onto any lock-screen background.
It's the go-to for app-concept shots, launch teases and 'imagine getting this notification' posts. Because it's matched to the real lock-screen banner, it composites onto a wallpaper photo and reads as a genuine screen.

Frequently asked questions
Can I customize the app icon and sender?
Yes. The sender and message are editable so the banner matches your scenario.
Can I place it over my own wallpaper?
Yes — export the notification as a transparent PNG and composite it onto any background.
How is this different from the Messages notification style?
This one renders the frosted lock-screen banner; the Messages notification style renders the banner that drops in over an unlocked screen.
Is it free?
Yes, standard PNG export is free and watermark-free.
