AuraLook
Android Lock Screen Notifications inspired by iOS ShortLook!
AuraLook upgrades your Android lock screen notifications with a premium, cinematic experience. When your screen is off, it intercepts incoming alerts and presents them on a beautifully minimalist, pure OLED black canvas for instant glanceability. 🔋 OLED Saver: Keeps pixels off to save battery. 🧠 Smart Filtering: Syncs with DND & ignores clutter. 📱 Gestures: Tap to dismiss, swipe to open. 🛡️ Privacy-First: 100% offline, zero internet.
If you ever jailbroke an iPhone back in the day, you probably remember the ShortLook tweak. It woke your screen on a pure black background, showed a massive app icon, and revealed the notification details with a smooth animation before locking the screen back down. Perfect for a quick glance!
When I switched to Android, I was disappointed to find that there wasn't anything like this, so I went ahead and created it myself. It's called AuraLook.
What it does: • OLED-friendly Fullscreen Lock Screen Notifications: When a notification arrives while your screen is off, it wakes the screen to show a clean black display with a large central app icon with the notification details.
• Granular Control: You can choose the duration for how long the notification stays before turning your screen off again. You can also individually enable or disable AuraLook for apps.
• Avatars: You can enable this feature to show the sender's pfp in your notification!
• Privacy Mode: You can enable this to hide the content of your notifications.
• Smart filtering: AuraLook is smart enough to ignore persistent notifications (like downloads, music players, or system updates) so your screen only wakes for things you actually want to see.
• Gestures: Single tap to dismiss, double tap to sleep and Swipe up to directly open the notification.
The app is 100% offline and completely ad-free. As a solo developer, I've done my best to support as many devices as possible, however AuraLook can only improve through your feedback, so please send me feedbacks if you find any bugs or leave a review on play store if you love the app!
To celebrate the launch, I’m giving away 20 AuraLook Pro promo codes to the first 20 people who ask for a promo code and drop a comment below with their honest thoughts on the app. Remember to share your email so that I can send you the promo code.
I believe fellow Android customization enthusiasts like myself will really appreciate what this app does! If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments!
