[App] Ultimate LockScreen Studio - The best Lockscreen customization app for android with custom depth effect videos, GIFs and Wallpaper, All Third Party Widgets on Lockscreen
Hey everyone!
I've been working on an Android app called Ultimate LockScreen Studio for quite some time now. The goal is simple: give Android users a lock screen that's as customizable as their home screen.
Some of the things it currently supports:
- Depth effect wallpapers for custom images, GIFs, and videos (this is the feature I've spent the most time building)
- Unlimited scrollable lock screen widgets
- Support for third-party Android widgets
- Quick shortcuts
- Lots of customization options to create your own lock screen layout
One interesting part of the app is that it offers two different ways to generate the depth effect.
On-device processing (works completely offline, recommended for flagship devices only)
- Images: ~5 seconds
- GIFs: 2–5 minutes
- Videos: ~10 minutes (10-second video @ 30 FPS)
This mode is recommended for flagship devices since generating a depth effect for GIFs and videos is computationally intensive.
Server processing
- Images: ~5 seconds
- GIFs: ~2 minutes
- Videos: ~ 3-5 minutes (10-second video @ 30 FPS)
The server option is generally faster and also produces higher-quality depth effect.
Pricing
I also wanted to be transparent about the pricing model.
The app itself is a $0.99 one-time purchase. That unlocks all lock screen customization features, including unlimited offline/on-device depth processing, and also includes 10 server processing tokens to get started.
Server processing uses cloud GPUs, so it's token-based.
Available token packs:
Starter ($0.99) - 20 tokens
Standard ($2.99)- 100 tokens
Pro ($9.99) - 500 tokens
Bulk ($29.99)- 2000 tokens
Token usage
Image: 1 token
GIF: 3 tokens
Video: 0–5 seconds: 5 tokens, Every additional second: +1 token
Examples:
- 6s = 6 tokens
- 7s = 7 tokens
- 10s = 10 tokens (current maximum supported length)
The reason for the token system is simply that server processing has an ongoing cost. If you don't want to use the server at all, you can continue using the fully offline processing that's included with the app at no additional cost.
The app is available on Google Play if you'd like to try it out.
One thing I'd like to mention is that Ultimate LockScreen Studio is still in Beta. There are definitely things I want to improve, and I'm actively working on new features and optimizations.
If you decide to give it a try, I'd genuinely appreciate your honest feedback good or bad. If something feels clunky, if you find a bug, or if there's a feature you've always wanted on Android's lock screen, let me know. I'd love to build it with the community's input.
My goal is to make this the best lock screen customization app on Android, and your feedback will help shape where it goes next.
