Samsung Good Lock is one of the most powerful tools available to Galaxy device owners. It goes beyond the standard set of personalization features offered by most OEM skins and allows users a deeper level of customization to make their device truly their own.

Good Lock is a collection of various modules and one such that we are going to discuss today is Routine+. Besides the basic functionalities, Samsung Good Lock Routine+ allows you to add advanced features to Bixby Routines so you can make more powerful routines.

Location-based quick settings

Google Lock’s location-based quick settings give you access to replace a double press or long-press on one of the phone’s physical keys, depending on a few factors. The module uses location as an example but you can also edit this to use any existing triggers.

Run a touch macro

On selecting the app for which you want to record the macro, it will open the app and show a floating record button on the side of the screen. To do this:

• Tap Record and then perform the actions you want to save.
• Stop the recording and save it.
• Choose what the trigger should be.

Control arrow with S Pen

Of course, this feature will only work with S -pen compatible Samsung phones including Galaxy Note 20, Z Fold 3, S21 Ultra, and S22 Ultra. It lets you assign different Air Actions to perform certain tasks.

The module suggests you assign arrow key actions to gestures to scroll through web pages and move back and forth.

Fingerprint to website

Although the name of the feature suggests you can do this to open a website, but it can be assigned to anything. Here you can choose the actions to take place, such as opening any app or anything else, depending on which finger you use to unlock your phone.

Low battery announcement

Quite a useful feature! When enabled, it will let your phone read out a phrase when your phone reaches a certain battery percentage. You can customize the words spoken as well as adjust reading speed.

Share via QR Code

There’s also an option to share your creations with others through QR Code. When scanned, it will recreate the chosen routine on their device too. However, if you don’t have QR Code, you can export your routines as files to be saved via the cloud or your messaging app.

Good Lock is a powerful application for Samsung devices that has many modules to let you customize the overall look of your phone. From options to customize the notification panel, sound panel, keyboard, and others, there are many additional features that the real One UI doesn’t have.

One such amazing module is NotiStar. It allows you to search through the notifications or to display them only from specific apps, so you can quickly find what you’re looking for. It’s extremely helpful when you drown in your phone’s notification.

Samsung Good Lock NotiStar further allows you to set custom filters that contain predefined keywords or are related to a particular app, to isolate the important ones. It can save all your notification for a week, month, or forever, which can help you search for alerts you might have missed or dismissed.

Now that you can have some clarity about the module and its uses, let’s see how it is used.

You can take advantage of this module when you want to see if there are applications on your phone that have doubtful behavior. You can also use it to see the changes in permissions, which is another key aspect to determine if it is dangerous or not.

Samsung Good Lock Nice Catch

You can download and enable this module from Good Lock itself. Once enabled, it will show you a detailed history of when apps made vibrations, changed the ringer mode, changed call mode, displayed ads, showed toast popups, woke up the screen, and others along with time stamps for all instances.

For example, if you enter a vibration history, you’ll see a list of apps that have vibrated your phone and the number of times they have done so in the past seven days. When you click on an app, it will show you a list of the exact times it vibrates.

The most useful part is its log for toast notifications (the little bubbles that appear at the bottom of your phone from time to time). You can check these logs by entering the Nice Catch app and clicking on the appropriate category.

Further, the history will be automatically deleted after seven days. You can also delete it whenever you want by hitting the 3-dot menu and clicking Clear all histories >> Yes.
