Which software is better for mobile phone screen locking (recommended by Apple Screen Locking widget)

IOS 16 is the autumn meeting of Apple, bringing you all the new functions or features shown on WWDC22. Among them, the lock screen, as one of the most striking update points in the big version upgrade of the system, has attracted many people's attention.

after the official version of p>iOS 16 was launched, more and more third-party apps released updates to adapt to the widget function on the lock screen. I have collected some practical or interesting screen locking gadgets for you, hoping to give some reference to friends who have upgraded to iOS 16.

Efficiency class

Tick List

Ticklist is the first third-party App I found that has been adapted to the lock screen widget function when iOS 16 was still in the developer beta, which covers various widget types and functions in the application.

in the task section, Tick Tick List provides three screen locking gadgets: tasks, recent tasks and today's tasks. It is very useful for users of Tick Tick List to see this information in the screen lock interface, which saves the step of unlocking the screen.

in the focus section, Tick List provides two screen locking widgets: focus time distribution and today's focus. The former can be used to quickly check the concentration time distribution in this week, and the latter can make the daily concentration time clear at a glance.

in the habit section, the Tick-Tick list provides a habit heat map and two kinds of today's habit screen locking gadgets. The habit map widget displays the habit completion status of the current natural month. The small today habit widget can directly jump to the habit punching interface of the check list by clicking, and the large today habit widget displays the habit punching progress of the day.

Things

Things is my personal favorite tool. In addition to excellent design and simple and efficient task management concept, things also adapt to the new features of iOS system in time. Things always have three kinds of screen-locking gadgets, namely list, new to-do list and today's progress. You can also choose how the widget will look in your application.

The list widget allows me to browse the to-do list directly in the lock screen interface, or access the list by clicking the quick jump. Click on the widget on the lock screen, and I can select the list and filter labels to meet my more viewing needs.

the newly added to-do widget can directly pop up the input interface of things after being clicked, and can be displayed in quot inbox quot or quot current list quot. As the name implies, today's progress widget shows the progress of the todo items of the day through a circle. After clicking, it will jump to the interface of quot Today quot Things.

p>Fantastical

Fantastic, another old time management tool, is also a widget feature adapted to the screen lock interface, which is divided into three types: Up Next, Calendar and Quick Action.

the upnext widget is used to display the next event or to-do list. In the settings, you can choose which calendar to display and whether to display events/to-do items without time. In addition, the widget has two sizes: large and small. The large size can fully display the name, address, time and other information of the event, while the small size can only display the next event/to-do event.

the calendar widget only displays the monthly view, while the quick action widget can choose between adding events, adding to-do items and searching the jump interface.

My Tomato

In the previous review, I introduced my tomato quot, and this time it quickly adapted to the widget feature of the screen lock interface.

the lock screen widget of my tomato App is mainly used to display statistical data, including the monthly heat map of tomato attention time and quantity, the attention trend of today and this week, and the attention quantity of tomato today and this week. There are six different parts to choose from.

Days Matter

Days Matter is one of the most suitable apps to display in the lock screen interface, because it can remind us of the most important time node at the first time when we pick up the phone. DayMatter provides 7 types and 11 different widgets, which can display various information.

the countdown event widget provides three styles: normal, colorful and classic, and each style also provides two sizes, large and small, for viewing important days and dates.

the inverted sun widget is a more efficient display method. It provides three forms: card, grid and list, and can display more inverted widgets of the same size.

the multi-function widget is a highly customized module, which can be set in different presentation forms such as clock, calendar, photo or annual progress.

Taio

Taio is a tool that integrates Markdown editor, clipboard management, shortcut actions and other functions. However, its screen lock widget function is simple and clear, which can be divided into four types: quick draft, new document, file search and running action. Each model has a large size and a small size.

the functions of quick draft, new document and search file are just as their names suggest. After clicking, you can jump to the relevant interface of Taio.

run this widget to select the operation you want to allow, and you can also customize the input variables.

flomo

flomo, a knowledge management tool, also adapts to the widget function of the screen lock interface, but this function can only be used normally after purchasing a Pro member.

flomo's screen lock widget can be divided into three categories: daily review, heat map statistics and record statistics, and record statistics can be divided into two categories: the number of memos and the number of recorded words.

Life category

Carrot Weather

As an old third-party weather App, carrot weather provides a very rich widget type in this screen-locked widget adaptation, which is really dazzling. I divide the widget of carrot weather into four types, namely current weather, weather forecast, weather index and user-defined.

there are three kinds of weather available at present: Snark, Conditions and Custom Conditions. The difference is that the amount of information displayed is slightly different.

the weather forecast is divided into two small components, namely hourly forecast and daily forecast, which can display the weather conditions in the last five hours or the last three days.

Weather indicators include as many as 13 small components, ranging from temperature, precipitation, wind level, ultraviolet index and air quality index to air pressure, visibility, sunrise and sunset time, moon phase, tide and so on.

the user-defined widget can freely select two weather indicators to meet the more advanced needs of weather controllers.

care about the air

The lock screen widget that cares about the air is relatively simple and can be divided into four categories: air quality, pollutants, overview and historical data.

the air quality widget displays the local AQI index, the pollutants widget displays the local weather, AQI, PM2.5, O3, PM1 and other indexes, the overview widget displays the AQI index of each city in the city list, and the historical data widget displays the recent AQI changes of the current city.

Grow

Grow is an App for punching cards. When it was released, it also wrote an article introducing it. There are 11 types of screen locking coolies provided by Grow. Among them, the progress and current water consumption of today's widgets are divided into two sizes: large and small, but some of them need to be unlocked by Pro members.

Today's "Progress" and "Top Three Habits" are two widgets, which display daily data of a single habit and three habits respectively, while "Chart of Recent 7 Days" and "Chart of Recent 3 Days" are two widgets, which display data trends in two different time dimensions.

two widgets, current steps and recent exercise record, show the data of exercise-related habits, while the current water consumption widget shows my current water consumption progress, and the water consumption record widget allows me to quickly record water consumption.

Grow also provides three widgets to display statistical summary data, namely monthly statistics, monthly summary and annual summary.

drinking alpaca

drinking alpaca, which has just been nominated for the Apple Design Award this year, is a tool focusing on drinking water reminders. On iOS 16, the widget of the screen lock interface is also adapted.

the screen lock widget for alpacas drinking water is very simple, and it only provides one function, that is, it displays the data and progress of drinking water for the day. However, there are three different widget styles to choose from.

Dtd Playlist

Dtd Playlist is a music station App released on the iOS/iPadOS platform this year. It has built-in ten recommended songs with different styles, which can convey more emotions through music and scenes.

Dtd playlist lock widget provides three types, namely, playing, song list and lost planet. There are two kinds of widgets being played, and the lost planet widget seems to be a decorative function. If you find its use, please let me know in the comments section.

The song widget has three different illustrations, all of which have exactly the same function. Click to jump to the corresponding song list.

Soor

Soor is a third-party Apple Music client, which has captured the hearts of a large number of users with its exquisite interface design and practical gesture operation.

Soor only provides a widget with a screen lock interface, but it can be set to different presentation forms by long pressing the widget, including favorite music, posting reminders, favorite songs and song lists. In addition, Soor also provides widgets of different sizes.

OffScreen

Although the iOS system itself already has quot screen usage timequot,, off-screen functions can also record data such as the number of times the mobile phone is picked up and the usage time, and built-in focusing function can help users stay away from the mobile phone during the period.

Off-screen lock gadgets are divided into four types: screen usage time, focus duration, initial focus and current focus, each with large and small sizes.

The screen usage time widget can not only display the data of screen usage time, but also select data such as picking times, average viewing time, watching while walking, staring blankly, etc.

Starting the focus widget allows me to start focusing directly in the lock screen interface, or I can select the focus tab. The current focus widget displays the progress of the current focus. Click it to open the focus page.

the focus widget can view the focus duration of today and this week, and start to customize the labels displayed in the settings.

Varlens

Varlens is a popular third-party iPhone camera application. Its screen lock interface coolie has two main functions.

one is to view prime time directly in the lock screen interface, and Pro users can also choose the color scheme of widgets.

the other is to quickly start various modes or functions of the camera, including portrait mode, automatic mode, manual mode and program mode.

China Merchants Bank

As the best App among domestic banks, China Merchants Bank has also adapted the widget of the screen lock interface. However, there are only two kinds of widgets of China Merchants Bank, one is to-do list, which shows the to-do list in the next seven days, including credit card repayment and loan repayment, and the other hot search product is not much to say. I believe no one will put it on the lock screen interface.

comprehensive class

lock screen startup

lock screen startup is an App specially designed for lock screen interface gadgets. At present, you can unlock the purchased items for free.

there are two kinds of widgets launched on the screen, one is a widget with custom function, and the other is a second hand. The second hand is easy to understand, that is, the seconds are displayed on the lock screen interface, and there are two kinds of rings and semi-circular rings.

widget with custom functions can realize four different functions, among which I like the built-in functions of various third-party apps, such as WeChat, Alipay and China UnionPay Express. And you can also add various functions related to health and travel.

in addition, widget with custom functions can also be used to launch URLs, shortcuts and URL schemes.

WidgetSmith

WidgetSmith is an application born with the desktop gadget function in iOS 15. After the release of iOS 16, it also supports widget with screen lock interface.

WidgetSmith has only two sizes: round and rounded rectangle, but each can customize text, pictures, icons, time, weather, steps, reminders, sunrise, sunset and month.
