Tired of extra taps, cluttered notifications, and sluggish multitasking on your Samsung Galaxy? Good Lock fixed all of it for me.
What makes Good Lock different
- It’s an official Samsung toolkit for One UI—think pro mode, not just themes.
- Deeply integrated and modular: install only the modules you need, so it stays lightweight.
- Exclusive to Samsung devices; you won’t find it on Pixel, OnePlus, or iPhone.
High-impact modules to try
- Home Up: Redesign your home and app switcher. The Task Changer’s Grid layout shows more recent apps at once for faster jumping between tasks.
- LockStar: Build a lock screen dashboard. Move the clock and notifications, add widgets, and personalize with stickers.
- Display Assistant: Control refresh rate and screen timeout per app for comfort and battery savings.
- One Hand Operation+: Add invisible edge gestures to launch apps, toggle the flashlight, or open two apps at once—ideal for big screens.
- NotiStar: Gain powerful control over notification pop-ups and filtering to cut clutter and distractions.
- Nice Shot: Record your screen with a selfie video overlay for clearer tutorials, feedback, and walkthroughs.
Real-world productivity wins
- Faster app switching with a grid-style recent apps view.
- Glanceable info right on the lock screen via widgets.
- One-swipe shortcuts that beat stretching to the top of the display.
- Cleaner, better-managed notifications.
- More effective screen recordings with face + screen commentary.
Bottom line
Good Lock transformed my Galaxy from capable to customized—and significantly boosted my on-the-go productivity. If you use a Samsung phone, install Good Lock and enable only the modules that fit your workflow.
