Known limits

  • Widgets can be moved, not edited. Widgets and Smart Stacks show as grey blocks. You can move them between pages, but you can't resize, add, or change them in Arrange.
  • USB only. Arrange connects over a cable, not Wi-Fi.
  • Mac only. Arrange needs macOS 12 Monterey or later. There's no Windows version available right now.
  • One Mac per key. A key works on one Mac at a time, and covers all the iPhones and iPads you use with it.
  • Layouts only. Arrange changes where things are on your Home Screen. It doesn't install, delete, or update apps, and its backups don't include app data.
  • Page names stay in Arrange. When Organize labels pages by category, those labels only show in Arrange, because iOS and iPadOS pages don't have names.
  • Apple could change things. Arrange uses the same Home Screen service that iTunes once used. Apple doesn't document it, so a future iOS or iPadOS update could change what it accepts. Arrange checks every Apply and tells you if your device didn't keep the layout.
