I am sure most Samsung OneUI users are eager to explore this option. But the problem is that there is no such guide that can explain everything from scratch. So, here we will guide you through everything about good lock routines.

What are good lock routines?

In the realm of Good Lock, routines are your secret weapon for crafting a truly personalized OneUI experience. I mean, they work as an automated task that changes your phone into an assistant, as it can adjust settings and actions based on specific events. Good luck routines work as you need to set a trigger like time, location, or an event. 

Accordingly, you need to choose an action like adjusting settings, launching a specific app, playing sound, or any personalized event. Some popular examples of routines are automatically adjusting brightness based on ambient light levels, keeping your phone and notifications silent when you arrive at work and many more. Meanwhile, routines are nothing but your own rules that you define and execute.

Getting Started with Good Lock Routines

After reading the concept of the Good Lock routine with some examples, I am sure many of you read to ditch traditional personalization. But you should note that to do that, you need to download the Good Lock routine app and understand the in-app layout and options to get started. So, below, we are sharing the installation steps along with the in-app layout details.

Note: Alternatively, you have the option to download the Good Lock APK, but we recommend you go with getting it from the Samsung store.

1. Open the Galaxy Store on your phone.
2. Search for Good Lock there.
3. Following that, pick the relevant results.
4. Tap on the install option to get the individual modules.
5. That’s it. In the next moment, the Good Lock app will be on your phone.

The Good Lock App has a decent layout featuring different modules. But between routines, a module appears and holds a unique value. After all, it has features like trigger power (different conditions for certain actions), action (various actions to choose from), flow, and logic (creating multi-actions for certain conditions). So, this was a complete overview of installing the Good Lock app and its in-app appearance.
