Flocus Plus members can now personalize their dashboard by uploading a custom background image for any screen. Whether it’s your favorite photo, a calming visual, or a productivity-boosting wallpaper, this feature is all about making Flocus your own!
This is a beta feature. We’re actively improving it and may change or remove it based on performance, feedback, or moderation complexity.
How to Upload a Background
Go to Settings → Themes and pick a mode (Home, Focus, Ambient).
You’ll find the Custom Background option just above the regular theme picker.
Click Browse or drag and drop an image from your device to upload.
Tips & Notes
Use the opacity slider to fine-tune legibility.
Only one image per mode can be uploaded at a time. The upload applies to the current mode (Home, Focus Mode, or Ambient Mode) — whichever you’re on during upload.
The Flocus logo will be hidden when a custom theme is applied.
If you switch to a library theme afterward, you can return to your custom upload by pressing the purple Save button next to the upload thumbnail — no need to reupload!
Uploaded images are local to your device only and do not sync across devices.
File Specs & Requirements
If your image fails to upload, ensure your file follows these specs:
Formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC. Need to convert your image? Use a tool like CloudConvert to switch to a supported format.
Max file size: 5MB. If your image is over 5MB, try compressing it using TinyJPG.
Minimum width: 800px
Best Practices for Custom Backgrounds
Choose landscape-oriented images (not vertical) for the best fit across your screen.
Use high resolution images for a crisp look
Go for non-distracting visuals with little to no text — gradients, textures, nature scenes, or cityscapes all work well!
Try uploading different images per mode (Home, Focus, Ambient) to match your vibe and intention for each dashboard.
⚠️ Important: Image Guidelines
We want Flocus to be a safe and welcoming space. All uploads must comply with our terms and community standards. Uploading inappropriate or prohibited content may result in your account being suspended or permanently banned. This includes, but is not limited to:
