How to Open Your Favorite Apps Right from the Lock Screen - Mini Home and Tok Tok

If unlocking, swiping through home screens and hunting for the same app every time feels like a chore, Good Lock's Mini Home and Tok Tok cut that short.

You only use a few every day

Your phone may have dozens of apps, but the ones you open every day - messenger, camera, YouTube - are only a handful. The same goes for the numbers you call and the sites you visit.

Good Lock lets you keep that handful right behind the lock screen. That is Mini Home.

1. Mini Home - swipe up to open it

Swipe up from the bottom of the Good Lock screen and Mini Home opens. Swipe left or right to move between its pages.

Adding things is simple: tap the edit (pencil) icon on any page and pick an app or contact - it is added right away. Do it once, and from then on a single swipe up from the lock screen brings them all in front of you.

Bringing in contacts needs the contacts permission. It is used only when you add a contact, and nothing is sent to a server or kept elsewhere. If you decline it, the other pages still work as normal.

See it right away, unlock to open it

The lists in Mini Home can be viewed without unlocking. You only unlock when you actually launch something.

Unlocking uses the fingerprint, PIN or pattern already set on your phone, so it stays just as secure as before. All you skip is the hunt through your home screens.

2. Quick menu - five shortcuts at the bottom of Mini Home

Every Mini Home page has the same quick menu along the bottom. There is nothing to set up - it is ready to use.

3. Tok Tok - double-tap to open that app

If you always open the same apps, Tok Tok is even faster. Double-tap the lock screen and the app you chose launches right away.

  1. In Good Lock, go to Settings > Preferences > Tok Tok.
  2. Turn Tok Tok on.
  3. Choose one layout: 1, 2 or 4 areas.
  4. Add one app to each area of that layout, then save. With 2 areas, for example, you add one app to the top and one to the bottom.

Now wake your phone and double-tap an area of the lock screen to open the app you put there.
