About Showear: Android Wear Lock

Showear is the most configurable lock screen for Android Wear.

Using the app is simple:
1. Define an unlock sequence on your phone using the companion app;

Now your smartwatch will be accessible only after the insertion of the right sequence.

Showear options are as follows:
- Lock screen on swipe from outside the screen
- Unlock on standby
- Auto-lock on standby
- Vibration
- Hide lock screen on standby
- Reduce screen brightness when locked
- Always-on lock screen
- Transparent lock screen or configurable background color
- Configurable lock elements' color
- Show/hide swipe sequence on lock screen

Development is just begun and new functionalities will be added according to feedback, so feel free to write me at: showear.nbarresi@gmail.com.

App History & Updates

What's Changed
- v2.2.0 -
This updated introduces a couple of suggested features:
- Lock icon can now be placed on the lower border of the screen
- The watch can be automatically locked when it loses connection with phone
There is a known issue with "Theater Mode" on LG G Watch: the latter makes impossible to unlock the watch without using the phone. I'm working on it and I hope to provide a fix ASAP.
- v2.2.1 -

This is perfect for solving issues like music on my phone starting because I crossed my arms and my arm pressed the unpause button on the screen

Sony SW3 and Galaxy S6 Plus Edge. Device feature does not lock watch on start-up, tested by using forced re-start on a locked SW, it rebooted unlocked. So if lost and somebody found it, they could easily factory reset it and keep it.

W70%
by W####:

For a single watch on Wear 1.X it's easily a 5* app, if you have multiple watches it gets a little wonky but can still work, though I am sad to report it seems to be incompatible with wear 2.X.

well done

This should be standard on wear watches as without it if I get the watch slightly wet be it from rain or sweat the bloody thing goes bananas. I know it's probably a kernel issue and beyond the scope of the app, but an option to turn off wake by screen tap altogether and just use the button would be gravy.

W70%
by W####:

Keeps causing the watch screen to lock and turn off which stops notifications coming through. Uninstalled and back to no issues

X70%
by X####:

Nice app for people that need it. I found it unnecessary, but if things change I'll definitely reinstall it. I found the initial set-up confusing, as the descriptions weren't totally clear to me.

X70%
by X####:

Not a consistent problem, but every once in awhile it will not re brighten the screen when it comes out of lock mode. It's really an issue when in bright light the screen is so dim cannot even correct the problem.

And very good implementation as well! I don't need a locking mechanism for my Android Wear right now but will definitely install it again when needed.

Wow! This lets me have my watch easily accessible without fearing that I am accidentally pressing buttons. I love how customizable this app is, too!

Works well paired with bubble launcher PERFECT

Feature request: maybe you could have a setting like: auto lock when not wear with less battery consumption.

Why does it keep locking again when I swipe to see my apps?!?

It works well so deserves 5* rating, great for stopping watch doing things when it rains, but why on earth would anyone need to keep a watch on while getting a shower, do u not need to wash your wrist? Is the 3 second task of removing a watch to shower too much of a drain on your precious time? Lmao

Z70%
by Z####:

I wanted something like this for two reasons: 1. When i'm in the shower to stop the screen getting activated and registered the water as swipes. 2. When I'm in bed to stop the screen getting activated and killing battery! This app helps out with both of the above :). I have it enabled to lock the screen after i swipe from the left to the centre of the screen twice. Then to unlock again upon entering a series of swipes. Perfect!

by S####:

This is just what I was looking for! This is perfect! The only thing that could make it better would be an option to require the code every X minutes

Nexus 4 and Sony SW3. Can set a swipe combination, app works perfectly. Refuses to set a pattern unlock. Weird

Duhh!!!

This is a great app, though every time I touch the screen the message "swipe to unlock" pops up and stays until I unlock it. Is there anyway to rid of that message all together? I thought there was a check box for it on the phone part of the app but the message stays on my watch. Thanks!

Perfect!

Fantastic app

S70%
by S####:

If used for the first time in airplane mode, it will pop over your screen that you must set a pattern using your phone. But in airplane mode, it cannot open the app on the phone. There is no way I could find to back out of the app and I had to force restart the watch.

S70%
by S####:

I have a request is there any way for your phone not to show notifications when locked but still vibrate?

S70%
by S####:

An essential app for anyone who takes showers. Which is everyone, or at least I hope so.

S70%
by S####:

I can't believe I need this app for this, a lockscreen should've come with the device out of the box!

T70%
by T####:

Now I can use my android wear as alarm clock again without worrying to accidentally mute the phone to no interruptions in my sleep! Thank you so much!
