Good Lock is Samsung's best-kept secret for customizing One UI, and I stopped using random tweaking apps
Good Lock is Samsung's official app that adds extensive customization options to its One UI skin through a variety of plugins. The author found it more effective than third‑party tweaking apps because it is free, ad‑free, and integrates directly with the system. After trying plugins such as QuickStar and LockStar, the author stopped using random UI‑tweaking applications.
- ▪Good Lock provides plugins that let users modify the Quick Panel, lock screen, notifications, and other One UI elements.
- ▪The app is official, free of charge, and contains no advertisements, unlike many third‑party customization tools.
- ▪The author experimented with plugins like QuickStar and LockStar and concluded that Good Lock offers a superior customization experience.
