Customised version for only one game or set of games.

[James Purcell]

Is there a way to get a modified version which contains only my own games (should I every finish one)?

[Peter Pears]

Well, the built-in list is customizable. You can update it via WiFi - press the "(i)" button at the top, select File Transfer, and follow the instructions.

Or if you have a file manager app installed, like FileApp, you can transfer games to FileApp and, when you try to open the Inform games in there, select iFrotz as the app you want to open them with.

Anyway, a more direct answer is that, since the list is customisable, you can just add your games once they're done.

If you would like them to be cathegorised, a trick that I do is add cathegories in parenthesis after the name - like "Zork I (Infocom)", "Adventureland (Scott Adams)", "Casting (AIF)". Then if I want to see a list of all Infocom games I use the search bar at the top to look for "Infocom". You can similarly mark your own games and then search for the string.

I'm thinking more about players who have never done this before.

I would like to change the startup image and just include my own files.

If you'd like to distribute your own IF games bundled as an iOS app, I would suggest starting with

https://github.com/erkyrath/iosglk

instead of Frotz.  This is the app/library written by Andrew Plotkin which is designed to be shipped as a single game, rather than a general interface for downloading/playing IF.  

Of course, either way, keep in mind that the only way to distribute iOS apps (to non-jailbroken phones) is via the App Store, which means you need to sign up to the developer program and pay $99/year to be able to keeps apps in the App Store.  If you're not already a Mac or iOS developer, that'll require a bit of effort learning about Objective C, Xcode, and the process of building and distributing apps.

If you're not intending to sell your games but just want a convenient way for iOS users to play them, I would suggest just hosting a web page with download links for the games and a link to Frotz on the App Store.  Once Frotz is installed, tapping on download links from Mobile Safari will automatically offer users to open the games in Frotz.
