HyperLock Screen & AOD

A lock screen built around depth

HyperLock Screen & AOD is for Android users who want more control over the look of their lock screen and Always On Display. Its notable feature is the option to create a layered depth effect, giving wallpapers and screen elements a more dimensional appearance than a standard clock-and-notification layout.

What you can change

The app focuses on the parts of the display you see most often: the clock, colors, typography and motion. It lets you adjust the visual style to suit your wallpaper or preferred interface, while separate controls make it possible to keep the presentation restrained when you do not want every effect enabled.

• Choose between 12-hour and 24-hour clock formats.
• Adjust clock styles, fonts and colors.
• Turn clock animations on or off.
• Enable or disable the depth effect.
• Use a connected look across the lock screen and AOD.

Who it suits

HyperLock Screen & AOD is a fit for people who treat the lock screen as part of their phone’s design rather than a purely functional screen. It is less relevant if you are happy with your device’s built-in lock screen and Always On Display, but useful when you want more say over the clock and the overall visual arrangement.

What the numbers suggest

App.io’s personalization tool has reached 500,000+ installs and holds a 3.25 rating from 1,796 reviews. That makes it a widely tried option, though the middling score is worth keeping in mind: its appeal depends on how much you value display customization and whether the available effects match your taste.
