Get useful information and apps at your fingertips, without ever unlocking your phone
Are you often wasting time fumbling around with your smartphone to find the information you need? Do not despair, as this is where Defumblr, available free from Google Play, is here to help. Unlike other lockscreens, where you have the option of selecting which information appears when your phone is locked, Defumblr learns which data and details are important to you based on your phone usage. This means that calendar notifications, instant messages, emails, your to-do list, latest news of interest and much more can be quickly accessed with a single swipe. Setting up the app is straightforward, and using it is a doddle. The only concern is providing access to so much potentially important data from your lockscreen, but as long as you have a PIN or passcode set up in the app, this should not be a problem.
- Get started with Defumblr
Click through the setup wizard to access the Notification screen, ensure the app is selected and click OK to confirm that you wish to enable Defumblr. You will need to follow the wizard to disable your built-in lockscreen.
- Check the weather
Defumblr makes it easy to simply glance at the information on your smartphone lockscreen and find out what you need to know. For example, the widget can display the weather conditions and temperature for quick and easy access.
- Do not disturb mode
Easily disable lockscreen notification alerts by tapping the Defumblr icon, which should be labelled Notification On by default. In the resulting screen, select Do Not Disturb. Eventually, the app learns when your quiet times are.
- Customise Defumblr
Tap the gear icon to view Settings. Here you can manage password options (a PIN or pattern lock are available), specify the number of lockscreen widgets, and configure how information is displayed, such as the weather.
- Keep your phone secure
As your new lockscreen, you need to ensure that Defumblr is capable of keeping your smartphone secure. Setting a PIN or pattern lock will prevent access to personal apps and accounts such as your browser, Twitter and email.
- Watch Defumblr adapt
With regular use, the Defumblr lockscreen adapts based on the latest information arriving on your phone. As information arrives, specific widgets are resized and prioritised. This helps you to quickly find what you’re looking for...
