Why is a lock screen wallpaper important at Burning Man?

Cell service is notoriously absent or unreliable across Black Rock City. If you drop or lose your phone, someone cannot call it. Having your camp name, clock coordinates, and campmate/radio details clearly displayed on your locked screen enables finders or Playa Info / Lost & Found to reunite you with your device.

Does PlayaPhone work offline on the Playa?

Yes! PlayaPhone is an offline-first Progressive Web App (PWA). Once opened or installed to your home screen, it caches all assets and operates completely offline with zero cellular connection.

Is my personal information stored or tracked?

No. All wallpaper rendering is performed locally in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. No personal information, phone numbers, or photos are uploaded to any server.

What screen resolution does PlayaPhone produce?

PlayaPhone exports crisp 1080×1920 Full HD PNG images that fit modern iPhone and Android displays, featuring dedicated safe zone indicators to prevent UI clocks from overlapping your information.

Lost & Found lock screen wallpaper generator for Burning Man participants.

Why Use PlayaPhone for Burning Man?

Cellular connectivity is extremely sparse in Black Rock City. If your phone gets lost on the playa, a finder cannot simply call you. Having a dedicated lock screen wallpaper with your Camp Name, Camp Address (Clock Coordinates & Radial Street), Playa Name, Campmate Contact, and Playa Radio Channel dramatically increases the chances of having your phone returned directly to your camp or via Playa Info / Lost & Found.
