Voice Lock: Unlock by Voice

Voice Lock — unlock your phone with your voice

Say your phrase and your phone opens, only for your voice. Voice Lock learns a short phrase in your own voice and shows its own lock screen whenever the screen turns off. Everything is recognised on the phone itself: your voice never leaves it.

KEY FEATURES

Unlock with your voice

• Record a 2–4 word phrase three times; setup takes under a minute

• Checks both the words and your voice, so someone else saying them doesn't unlock it

• Choose how strict the match is, from relaxed to strict

• A backup PIN always works, in a noisy room or with a sore throat

Hands-free (Premium)

• Lock your phone just by saying your lock phrase

• Wake and unlock with the screen off, ignored while the phone is in a pocket or bag

• Find your phone by saying your find phrase or by clapping twice

• It rings at full volume, vibrates and flashes the torch, even on silent

Private by design

• Voice recognition runs entirely on your phone, with no cloud

• Audio is analysed as it arrives and discarded; nothing is recorded

• Voice samples and your PIN are kept only on the phone, out of backups

• No ads

Plans

• Free: voice unlock and the backup PIN

• Premium: lock by voice, find my phone, clap to find and screen-off unlock

• Monthly or yearly with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase

HOW IT WORKS

1. Allow the microphone and the other permissions, each explained in the app

2. Say your unlock phrase three times

3. Set a backup PIN

4. Turn the screen off: Voice Lock is ready for your voice

GOOD TO KNOW

• Voice Lock adds a layer on top of Android's own screen lock; keep a PIN, pattern or fingerprint there for strong security

• It listens through a foreground service with an always-visible notification

• Lock by voice uses the device administrator "lock screen" permission only; turn it off in Settings before uninstalling

• Available in 21 languages

Put your phone away, pick it up, and just say the word.
