Good Lock is an app for customizing the Android lock screen in your own style. It was first released on March 15, 2015, and has been run by an independent developer for over 10 years.
Combine the wallpapers and widgets Good Lock provides - clock, calendar, schedule and music - to build a lock screen of your own. Shortcuts let you open apps, bookmarks, memos and contacts straight from the lock screen. Every feature is free, and no account sign-up is required. The lock screen and Mini Home carry no ads; ads appear only on the settings pages.
Good Lock runs on any Android device, regardless of manufacturer. It is a separate app from Samsung Electronics' Good Lock module suite, which shares the name but is Galaxy-only and launched a year later, in March 2016. See how the two differ →
It combines "Good" with "lock screen". The lock screen is where your phone starts, so the name also carries the wish that every day begins with good luck.
No. This app is not affiliated with Samsung - it is a separate lock screen app that an independent developer has been running since March 2015. This app also launched before Samsung's Good Lock. See the full comparison →
No. Samsung's Good Lock customizes the whole Galaxy phone UI and works only on Galaxy devices. This app is purely a lock screen service that lays a cover over your existing lock screen. The two share a name, but their features and direction are entirely different, so they are not comparable on the same terms.
You can install and use this app on any Android device regardless of manufacturer, not just Samsung Galaxy.
This app is an Android-only service. On iPhone, Apple's platform policy does not permit lock screen services.
Neither. Download it for free and use every feature without signing up. There are no in-app purchases and no paid version.
Yes. But the lock screen and Mini Home you see every day carry no ads at all. Ads appear only on the settings pages you enter when changing your setup. Since the app is free and asks for no sign-up, ads are the only way it keeps running.
Because there is no account sign-up, this app does not collect personal data such as your name or contact details. What you set up and write stays on your phone, so uninstalling the app removes it all. To keep the app free, however, it does include ads, and the ad providers may collect your device's advertising ID for ad delivery. See our Privacy Policy page for details.
Only one permission is required: "Display over other apps". The rest are requested only when you use the matching feature, and you can decline them. It used to ask for more, but recent work with the latest AI tools has improved this significantly. See details →
No. Because it shares a name with Samsung's Good Lock, some people confuse the two, but they work differently. Samsung's Good Lock is a system-level tool that changes the whole Galaxy UI. This app only displays a screen over the lock screen; apart from the "Display over other apps" permission, it has no ability to change the system.
Yes, it stays exactly as it is. This app is a "lock screen cover" that lays over your existing lock screen. The fingerprint, PIN or pattern lock you set on your phone keeps working, and this app does not replace or change your phone's security system.
