About MinimalLock

MinimalLock keeps your lock screen clean and clutter-free, performing a number of tasks with gestures and providing quick access to missed calls and incoming text messages and other notifications.

There are a lot of custom lock screen apps out there, but MinimalLock takes a slightly different approach to your lock screen. You don't have to deal with a ton of sliders and other random icons cluttering up your screen; instead, you can unlock your phone, change music tracks, and more with just a few gestures.

The really handy thing about MinimalLock is the fact that it shows notifications for missed calls, SMS messages, and more right on the lock screen, in the form of contact photos. So you can see who's trying to contact you right at a glance, without even unlocking your phone.
MinimalLock is fully customizable so you configure the lock screen perfectly to your tastes.

Supported music players are:
- Google Play Music - Poweramp
- PlayerPro - DoubleTwist
- Amazon MP3 - BeyondPod
- MIUI - Apollo (CM10)
- Winamp (Enabled 'Control Headset' in settings for this to work)

Other Features:
- Show time - Show date (Pro)
- Show network - Show WiFi,3G etc.. (Pro)
- Show battery percentage - Custom font size
- Custom font - Font color picker
- Custom unlock gesture - Custom wallpaper

Pro Only Notifications:
- Whatsapp - Google Plus
- Google Talk - Google Voice
- Gmail - Email
- Twitter - Facebook
- Calendar - Seven (Hotmail)
- Tweetcaster - Twicca
- MailDroid - Plume
- Instagram - Foursquare
- Seesmic - K9 Mail

If you have any issues with MinimalLock please email me before leaving negative feedback.
Also feel free to email me or tweet me @iam_robj with any feature requests you would like to see in the next version.

Enjoy! :)

NOTE: MinimalLock is NOT intended to be used as a secure lockscreen and can be bypassed with the home button. If you want security use it in conjunction with a Pin or Pattern lock. MinimalLock will show over these. Best of both worlds :-)

What are users saying about MinimalLock

O70%
by O####:

Lock screen is bypassable with home button, can't customize or make (more complex) gestures, full screen mode doesn't work with immersive mode (of Kit Kat). Sorry.

Y70%
by Y####:

Lock screen can't "snooze" or "dismiss" alarm. We need to unlock the phone then after can manage the alarm setting.

X70%
by X####:

Does what it says. My problem is I want a sleek, minimal lock screen like this that also supports basic security. This has the lock screen, but no security options at all

C70%
by C####:

This app gets 6/5 ★'s The dev gets 10/5 ★'s He was very nice and helped me a lot, the app makes me happy to have live wallpapers :D and for security reasons, having no indication on how to unlock my phone is the best. I highly recommend this, especially since it is light.

Just downloaded this today and every time I clock on it to open it force closes without opening.

Q70%
by Q####:

Lags sometimes and lacks user customizability. Does not drain battery as much as WidgetLocker. Needs some work.

by W####:

Gestures work really well, and I love the notifications on the lock screen. The developer was also really quick and helpful when I had a question. Awesome work!

Great App, I had an issue with the wallpaper not showing after an update, contacted the dev and got the problem solved, he was very fast and helpful in his reply.

C70%
by C####:

Yes everyone, it has bugs, yes it has issues, but how many of you have tried emailing the developer about his app?? He us really friendly and works with you and your device on a personal level. Any developer willing to do that is quite worth it. I personally emailed him about the lock screen by pass by hitting the home soft key and its even quicker then the normal unlock screen so it became a blessing. Also i asked for live wallpaper support with interactions, and he agreed it is an awesome feature have

Its kewl an all but why does it show 24hr time instead 12hr time?

I love the minimalism and excellent, speedy replies to emails. Give it a go.

W70%
by W####:

Can we get some sort of combination to unlock or change music? The music triggers in my pocket sometimes which is annoying. People can figure out a single swipe. It sometimes turns to the default look before changing to minumal lock. It says swipe to unlock.

Default music player doesn't work on galaxy s2 skyrocket. But otherwise perfect Edit: as soon as I posted this it started to work!

Great idea for an app with a good implementation. The dev really listens to comments and replies to emails. I'm pretty excited about the direction this app is going in.

I've been looking for something like to remove the default lockscreen font on my XMP. So far, so good. Good job, Rob!

Dev is very helpful, wallpaper issue is fixed. Finally I now have a simple but powerful lockscreen!

Z70%

Only one wallpaper in my collection is working and it seems like it doesn't work with a pin lock, it just overrides it. The swipe gesture is awesome though....

Fantastic app, clean and works as stated. Had a small issue, contacted the dev and within minutes he replied and the problem was solved within 30 minutes. Happy to purchase the pro version.

Love it. Thanks a lot! :)

Q70%
by Q####:

Only complaint I've got so far is it'd be nice if you could size the image for your background rather than it automatically stretching it. Other than that I like it. Nice clean lock screen!

Some of the issues I've had have been resolved with the latest update. I hope a date toggle can be added in the future though.Nonetheless a great lockscreen application.

Can you add 4.4 translucent bar support :),update needed really love this lock screen.

U70%
by U####:

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Would like to see more customisation ie moving time and date, cropping custom wallpaper and custom gestures but a good app. One to keep an eye on...

N70%
by N####:

Its great that this can be configured to show your wallpapers without cr*p all over them, and I would have rated it higher but there is one simple thing that needs adding. When you set an alarm and it goes off, you cannot cancel the alarm at all - you only get the constant ring of the alarm. Phone shutdown required... Please implement something that enables you to cancel/snooze the alarm!

N70%
by N####:

Its great and simple, just how i like it. However its a bit inconsistent. Everytime I lock my phone, it either doesnt come up at all or it shows my home screen first then transitions into the lock screen. I understand it is difficult to make it !00% all the time with no lag, but at least make it happen less. Once this is fixed I will give it 5 stars and support dev.

But still, please add support for Ubermusic and ability to add widgets. Then it would be perfect.

N70%
by N####:

Every single lock screen app I have used suffers from this problem. I have a Nexus 4 and when I lock the screen I can see the software buttons on the bottom of the screen and these can be used to unlock the screen. This is a severe flaw and I hope there is a fix for this soon.

Can you make it possible to add widgets????

this is what i looking for. works great. acer z110

H70%
by H####:

This fits my new minimalist theme perfectly, we done!

N70%
by N####:

The good: the elegance of a clean lockscreen cant be overstated. This app makes it one-click easy to achieve that level of Zen The bad: the application crashes from time to time. So when I lock my Note 2, I see the standard lockscreen instead of the minimal lock screen. Restarting sorts this rather quickly but its still something I have to do a few times a day. Also the notification icons of the paid version are ugly. Not in keeping with the minimal aesthetic of the app as a whole.

I downloaded this because I couldn't find a perfect music player. (If the player was perfect, the lock screen player wouldn't be, etc) but now I can super easily control my music while I'm running! The only slight downsides to this are that it doesn't seem to actually have the option to show what song is playing and that you need to swipe RIGHT to get to the next song (instead of left like on almost anything else). But overall 5 stars!!!!!!!

N70%
by N####:

Love the minimal look. Still having some things to sort out before being able to use.

L70%
by L####:

This lockscreen does what it's supposed to do, but sometimes it doesn't load up right away. I can see my home screen for about 3 seconds before the lockscreen appears... I'd also prefer to be able to choose where and how big the time and date is and be able to choose different areas of the screen.

HTC Sensation running Cyanogen mod 10 Jellybean. I really like the idea and how it works, unfortunately it just doesn't function properly on my custom ROM for whatever reason, which is disappointing. I would love to use it maybe after some work to get it working flawlessly on my Sensation it would be great!

The music swiping doesn't work, that's the whole reason why I got this.
