LockDuck

A lock screen with today's weather already on it

We built this because opening an app just to check the weather felt like one step too many. Turn on your screen and today's weather is already there.

  • No precise location
  • No tracking
  • No location stored on our servers
  • No account

Getting ready for Google Play

Screenshots are on the way

How we use location

It is the first thing anyone worries about with a lock screen app, so it goes first.

No precise location

Forecasts are published on a 5 km grid. Precise location would not make them any better, so we ask for the coarse permission only.

No tracking

We use the last location your phone already knows, and ask for a fresh one only when there is none. Following you around would drain the battery first.

No location stored on our servers

Coordinates are folded onto the forecast grid before anything is stored. What remains is a grid cell and a publication time — not where anyone was.

No account

No name, no email, no phone number. There is no sign-up at all.

Those four lines were written against the code, not from memory. What we collect and how long we keep it is in the privacy policy.

What it is

It is a lock screen, not a weather app. The weather is what the lock screen shows.

No app to open

Turn on the screen and it is already there — before you unlock.

Light

A clock, the weather, and two shortcuts you actually use. Nothing stacked on top.

Easy to turn off

One switch in settings. We do not hide it or ask you twice.

You choose the hours

Set the hours it may appear so it stays out of the way while you sleep.

Still being built

Not released yet. If something does not work, tell us at support — when the lock screen does not appear it is almost always the manufacturer's battery saver, and the fix is written up there.
