TapTap Lock

TapTap Lock is an immensely useful widget if you love the double-tap-to-lock feature, but your phone doesn’t support it. Sure, there are a number of single icon widgets that you can use for this purpose, and place on your home screen. I never liked that idea, as those icons are visible, and it’s just not the same.

You can place it on your home screen, make it as large as you want, and have it act as a double-tap-to-lock panel of sorts. You can’t really place icons over it, of course, but the same would be with your regular double-tap-to-lock functionality, as you have to double-tap the background of your home screen, essentially.

Google Keep

Price: Free to downloadIn-app purchases: NoSize: Varies with deviceGoogle Play rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars

Last, but not least, is the Google Keep widget. Google Keep aka Keep Notes is a very well-known app from Google. This is a note-taking application that not only looks great, but does a great job keeping all your notes in one place. Having said that, the app does include widgets, two of them. Both of them are really good, but completely different. You can check both of them out in the image above. So, the first widget can show you your notes. It can show you all of them, or just the ones from a specific category. So you can set specific tags for notes in Google Keep, and have this widget show only those, such as grocery lists, for example. The second widget contains a bunch of shortcuts for creating new notes, regardless of whether you’d like to create a regular note, a checklist, a voice memo, an image note, or draw something.
