Slides
A set is a list of up to ten slides. A slide is one screenshot image for the store: a layout, some copy, and a screenshot inside a device. This page lists every field. The Studio's editor sets the same fields, so it reads as a map of the editor too.
A project has one set that every device shares, and any device can have a set of its own. See A set for each device.
{
"layout": "device-bottom",
"eyebrow": "Streaks",
"headline": "Build *habits* that stick",
"subheadline": "One tap a day",
"screenshot": "home",
"badges": [{ "type": "rating", "title": "4.8", "subtitle": "App Store rating", "stars": 4.8 }]
}
Every field is optional.
Layouts#
layout decides where the copy and the devices go. The default is device-bottom.
| Layout | Screenshots | What it is |
|---|---|---|
device-bottom |
1 | Copy on top, device below and bleeding off the bottom edge. The classic store slide. |
device-top |
1 | Device bleeding off the top edge, copy underneath. |
device-center |
1 | Copy on top, the whole device visible below it. |
tilted |
1 | Like device-bottom, with the device rotated and pushed off-centre for energy. |
closeup |
1 | Like device-bottom, with the device larger than the canvas, so the top of the screen reads as a detail shot. |
floating |
1 | Copy on top, the whole device below it, turned in perspective. |
duo |
2 | Two overlapping devices (screenshot in front, screenshot2 behind) under the copy. |
side-by-side |
2 | Two upright devices next to each other (screenshot left, screenshot2 right), for two steps or a before and after. |
trio |
3 | Three devices fanned out: screenshot in front, screenshot2 and screenshot3 behind it left and right. |
device-right |
1 | Copy in a column on the left, the device standing on the right and bleeding off that edge. Made for more text: a headline with a list of feature points under it. |
device-left |
1 | The mirror of device-right: the device on the left, the copy column on the right. |
hero |
1 | Social-proof opener: big badges above the headline, device peeking in from the bottom. Without a screenshot it becomes a centred text slide. |
features |
0 | No device: the copy on top and the slide's feature cards below it, each an icon, a big figure or a small picture with a title. The card style picks the look. |
statement |
0 | No device: the headline set very large, as the picture itself. For a claim, a promise or a question. |
stat |
0 | No device: the slide's first feature as one giant figure with what it counts under it, and the next ones as a row of smaller figures. |
steps |
0 | No device: the slide's features as numbered steps joined by a line, each a title and one line. A step can show a small picture of its screen. |
reviews |
0 | No device: the slide's review badges as a wall of quote cards under the copy, each with its stars, the quote and who wrote it. |
Layouts with two or three devices read screenshot2 and screenshot3 as well.
The last five have no device. See Slides without a device.
Copy#
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
eyebrow |
A small uppercase line above the headline |
headline |
The main line. Two to five words read best |
subheadline |
One supporting line under it |
*Asterisks*around a word mark it. By default it takes the accent colour, andemphasispicks another way. See Marked words.\nforces a line break.- Text shrinks to fit its space, so nothing is cut off.
- Each text is a string, or one string per language. See Languages.
Screenshots#
screenshot, screenshot2 and screenshot3 hold the names of uploaded screenshots. A name that does not exist leaves the device empty, and the render warns about it. See Get your screens in.
The look#
These fields can be set once in the project's theme and again on any slide. The slide wins.
| Field | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
background |
A preset, auto, a hex colour, or a custom object. See below |
|
textColor |
A hex colour | Black or white, whichever reads on the background |
accentColor |
A hex colour, for tinted words, the eyebrow and badge stars | |
font |
A font id. See below | |
align |
center or left |
center |
textScale |
0.5 to 1.5. A multiplier for the headline size | 1 |
emphasis |
tint, marker, underline. How a headline shows its *marked* words |
tint |
device |
The device options. See below |
Marked words#
| Value | What it is |
|---|---|
tint |
The words take the accent colour. Without one, the rest of the headline is dimmed instead. |
marker |
A band of the accent colour behind the words, like a highlighter. |
underline |
A thick line of the accent colour under the words. |
Backgrounds#
- A preset:
midnight,aurora,ember,ocean,sunset,candy,forest,graphite,peach,mint,lavender,sky,paper,ink auto: colours taken from the slide's own screenshot.- A hex colour:
"#0F172A". - A custom one:
{ "type": "mesh", "colors": ["#1E3A8A", "#7C3AED", "#EC4899"], "angle": 165, "noise": 0.2 }
type is solid, gradient or mesh. colors takes one to five hex colours. angle is the direction of a gradient in degrees, and noise is film grain from 0 to 1.
Device#
| Field | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
frame |
auto, iphone, duo, ipad, mac, none. auto matches the screenshot, duo is the unfolded iPhone Duo, mac is a MacBook, and none shows the bare rounded screen, which for a Mac screenshot is the window alone. See Mac apps |
auto |

auto |
Device look#
style is how the frame is drawn. Set it once in the theme, so the whole set matches.
| Look | What it is |
|---|---|
real |
The device as it looks: a metal band, a black bezel and its buttons. The default. |
clay |
One matte colour all over, like a clay model. Calm, and it leaves the attention on the screen. |
outline |
A thin line drawing of the device around the screenshot. The line takes the text colour, or the device colour when one is set. |
sketch |
The line drawing with the wobble of a pen, as if drawn by hand. |
Two or three devices#
On duo, side-by-side and trio, spread is the angle between the devices. At 0 they stand parallel, and a larger angle fans them out. gap moves them apart or together, and rotate turns the whole group.
A group that mixes a Mac screenshot with iPhone or iPad ones is arranged differently: the laptop or window stands in the middle, and the phones and tablets stand in front of its lower corners. spread does not apply there. See Mac apps.
{ "layout": "duo", "screenshot": "home", "screenshot2": "stats", "device": { "spread": 24, "gap": 4 } }
Status bar#
A screenshot from a real device shows whatever the device showed: an odd time, a low battery, one bar of signal. statusBar draws a clean one instead, with the time, full signal, Wi-Fi and a full battery.
| Value | What it is |
|---|---|
none |
The screenshot as it is. The default. |
cover |
Painted over the status bar the screenshot came with, in the colour of the screenshot's top edge. For a screenshot from a real device, with its odd time and half-empty battery. |
overlay |
Drawn straight onto the screenshot, nothing covered. For a screenshot that has no status bar. |
statusBarColor is read off the screenshot unless you set it. Screenshots taken with appshots capture --clean in the simulator are clean already and need none of this. A web app's pages taken with appshots capture --web have no status bar and leave its place free: overlay draws one there.
Badges#
A slide draws up to 4 with its copy, from badges. badgePosition puts them at the top, above the headline, or at the bottom, below the subheadline. The list itself holds up to ten, because the reviews layout also reads its review badges. See Reviews.

The big line, such as "10K+" or "4.9". On a review it is the quote |
subtitle |
The small line, such as "Downloads". On a review it is who said it |

Slides without a device#
Five layouts show no device. They carry what a screenshot cannot: a claim, a number, a way of working, what people say. One or two in a set of ten is plenty, and the first slides should still show the app.
| Layout | What it reads | Good for |
|---|---|---|
features |
features, as cards |
What the app does, at a glance |
statement |
The headline alone, set very large | A claim, a promise or a question |
stat |

One number that carries the pitch |
steps |
features, as numbered steps |

What users and the press say |
{
"layout": "stat",
"headline": "Loved by *runners*",
"features": [
{ "value": "2M+", "title": "Runs logged" },
{ "value": "4.8", "title": "App Store rating" },
{ "value": "120", "title": "Countries" }
]
}

]
}
Reviews#
The reviews layout draws up to 6 badges of the type review as its wall. title is the quote, subtitle is who said it, and stars adds the row of stars. A publication works the same way, with its name as the subtitle. Badges of other types stay with the copy as on any slide.
{
"layout": "reviews",
"headline": "People *stay*",
"badges": [
{ "type": "review", "title": "The only tracker I kept past January.", "subtitle": "Maya, App Store review", "stars": 5 },
{ "type": "review", "title": "Quietly excellent.", "subtitle": "The Sweet Setup" }
]
}
Figures and quotes are claims. Use real ones only, and a quote only with the right to use it. See What App Review accepts.
Icon row#

Logo and images#
logo shows an uploaded image over the headline, and images places up to ten anywhere on the slide. See Logos and artwork.
A set for each device#
slides is the set every device shares. It is drawn again for each canvas, so one design gives an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac set. That is the quickest way to a full export, and the results look alike.
A device can have its own set instead, in deviceSlides. The iPad's or the Mac's canvas has another shape and another reader, so a set composed for it usually reads better: another layout, more text beside the device, other screenshots, a different number of slides.
{
"slides": [{ "headline": "Build *habits* that stick", "screenshot": "home" }],
"deviceSlides": {
"ipad": [{ "layout": "device-right", "headline": "Room for the *whole week*", "screenshot": "week" }],
"mac": [{ "layout": "device-left", "headline": "Plan at *your desk*", "screenshot": "overview" }]
}
}
- The devices are
iphone,duo,ipadandmac. Each takes one to ten slides. - A device with its own set draws that set and nothing from
slides. The other devices keep the shared one. - The theme, the languages and the screenshots belong to the project, so the sets match in colour and font without repeating them.
- In the Studio, Give the iPad its own slides under the device switch starts a set as a copy of the shared one. Use the shared slides again removes it.
- An agent passes
devicetoset_slides, andoftoupdate_slide. See MCP tools.
