Sometimes the little things say the most.

Both phones onlineUp to 4 minutes per session
What happens to my normal lock screen?
The dedicated drawing screen appears over your wallpaper. Android hides its normal lock-screen clock and notifications while you draw. It does not unlock your phone or change your wallpaper automatically; keeping the result is your choice. Notification access and whether Android asks you to unlock depend on your phone and security settings.
02 / FROM YOUR PHONE TO THEIRS
Two phones.
Three little steps.
For your partner, your best friend,
or someone who feels like home.

Which phones does LockTied work on?

Is it available to download?
LockTied is currently in Google Play testing. The Play link below is for eligible testers; public availability has not yet been confirmed. A test build's features may differ from the previews on this page.
Can I choose what appears on my lock screen?
Yes. Apply received images yourself, or enable Automatic lock-screen wallpaper in Settings. You can save an image to your gallery too. Anyone looking at your lock screen can see its wallpaper, so share thoughtfully.
How many people can I connect with?

Are there sharing limits?

How is shared content handled?
Sharing is restricted to your pair, and data is encrypted in transit. LockTied does not use end-to-end encryption; administrators with project access can access stored images. Read the privacy policy for details and the data deletion page for request instructions.
Where can I get help or report a concern?
