About this app

heyUp is a free lock screen app you can use on any Android phone in place of the default lock screen.
Combine aesthetic wallpapers with clock, calendar, schedule and music widgets to build your own lock screen theme, and use your schedule, memos and music right away, without unlocking.

Unlock heyUp and go straight to the fingerprint, PIN or pattern set on your phone - no stop at the default lock screen.



※ Works on any Android phone, regardless of manufacturer.

※ All features are free, and no sign-up is required.

※ The lock screen and Mini Home you use every day carry no ads; ads appear only on the settings pages.

※ First released on March 15, 2015, and built and run by a single independent developer for 11 years.



-------------------------------



✨ Create Your Own Style: Aesthetic Phone Customization

- Download over 1,200 wallpapers for free and combine them with practical widgets to build a one-of-a-kind lock screen theme.

- New high-resolution wallpapers added every week.

- Use your own photos and videos as wallpaper, and style them with a variety of filters.



⚡ Instant Access Without Unlocking

- Clock widget: a wide range of stylish clock designs to match your theme.

- Calendar & schedule widget: see your monthly calendar and upcoming events at a glance, without unlocking.

- Music player widget: play your favorite music and view real-time lyrics directly from the lock screen.

- Quick memo: write down an idea, check an important note, and edit it on the spot.

- Tok Tok shortcuts: double-tap the lock screen to instantly launch a pre-configured favorite app.



🏠 Your Personal Quick Launcher: Mini Home

- Keep your frequent contacts, favorite apps, bookmarks and memos in one place and launch them instantly.
Swipe up from the bottom of the lock screen to open it.



🔒 Lock & Security

- heyUp has no lock of its own; it uses your phone's lock (fingerprint, PIN or pattern), so your security stays exactly the same.

- Memos, calendar and lyrics work without unlocking. You can also browse the apps, bookmarks and contacts in Mini Home without unlocking; your phone's lock appears only when you tap one to open it.

📜 Since 2015 - An 11-Year Journey as an Independent Lock Screen App

- Since its first release on March 15, 2015, this has been an independent lock screen app on a single path.

- The name heyUp means a screen that greets you warmly every time you turn on your phone.

- Progress slowed for a while due to limited resources; lately I have used the latest AI tools to improve stability and performance myself.

- There is no flashy marketing here - just a lone developer's persistence.
Leave your thoughts in a review and I will reflect them in the next update. Thank you.

This application functions exactly as promised and works very well. I am frankly surprised that it has such a poor rating, and I can only assume that it has something to do with the name, which can be confused with Samsung's Good Lock application. In fact, I was actually looking for a Samsung Good Lock alternative for my non-Samsung device when I came across this application, but I was coincidentally also looking for a better Lock Screen for my device, and this application delivers on that well.

Loved this for the clock that wasn't at the top of the screen. But today they asked for access to ALL of my contacts -- "just to organize things." I cannot imagine why any app would need this info just to display a photo. Uninstalled the app and won't use it again. A huge invasion of privacy!
