Ok, good point. Here's some screenshots with descriptions of what it can do. Sorry, I'm too lazy to type all of this on my phone.

When I search for good lock it only finds "nice catch" some other thing and a ton of crap ware. How do I get to that page?

Ah, so it is PowerToys, but for Samsung phones.

EDIT: nvm. I thought this was a Samsung app, but turns out it is third party.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It's first-party, but somehow not installed by default on Samsung devices.

Honestly, one of these look enticing enough to deal with the galaxy app store to me.

Especially since most of those features should just be part of the phone, and not walled behind a 3rd party app store.

Nova does a lot of this doesn't it

It looks like everyone but the original developer has been laid off according to this Verge article.

Oh hmmmm

Well i havent noticed it doing anything weird. I'll keep an eye on my firewall.

The two replies below me about the Samsung app look really fake.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Probably, but I haven't used nova launcher since it was purchased by an ad company.

It brings new functionality and customization options for a Samsung phone. It's a really cool app.
