WebLock reminder on Windows Pc

version 1.7.2

This app displays a Web page selected by the user on the device lock screen. Starting from it, the Net can be navigated while still on the lock screen, that is with the device locked (with some security-related restrictions, see below).
Among other things, it enables you to
- take quick notes on the lock screen, via WebLock's own built-in reminder page; it's probably the simplest and handiest shopping list app in existence
- give students a test on tablets, with the test on a website; with WebLock they're bound to that site, they can't go to other sites or open the tablet (it's much easier than with kiosk mode)
- quickly and easily set your lock screen wallpaper to an image or page from the Internet
- view / listen to youtube videos, news pages, live podcasts for matches etc. with the device locked, it's safer in case you loose it
- for companies, enable employees to do web-based presentations on their office phone while it's locked, greatly improving security
- show others pictures from sites like Instagram or Google Photos on your phone while it's locked (for instance at parties, pass the phone around)
- further personalize your device, for instance show the 12-hour world clock on the lock screen
See details below.

Note that
1. It's not a hack, it's 100% written in standard Google-approved code.
2. It doesn't handle the device locking and unlocking itself, Android is still in charge of that. So you don't have to worry this might be done in an unsafe way.
As a safety precaution, if the device is hard-locked, the domain cannot be changed while on the lock screen (optional as of version 1.7.2). If it's only swipe-locked, this restriction doesn't apply. See details in the help.
3. It has no special permissions (for instance it cannot read the hard disk), this can be checked. So it's safe for privacy. It generally respects your privacy 100%, see the privacy statement in the terms of use.

Note that it's not a lock screen wallpaper, it's an app that's placed over the lock screen. Your current wallpaper will still be on your lock screen, when you press the home button from the app.

A few good uses for the app:
- Quick notes / to do list / reminder app
- Secure phone sharing
- Set the lock screen wallpaper
- Show the 12-hour world clock

The Net is full of literally millions of great images to suit everybody's taste. From Michelangelo fans to cat lovers. So the simplest way to personalize your phone is to just choose one you really like and set it as lock screen wallpaper from WebLock.
A good place to start is WebLock's own image gallery. Optimized for viewing on a phone. There's landscapes, flowers and more than 20 masterpieces of the italian Renaissance. And more.

Repetition is the mother of all wisdom. The app offers a page of famous quotes, designed for the lock screen.

A nice way to personalize the device clock is to show the 12-hour world clock. This is basically why WebLock was developed originally. It's a world clock site I wrote which also offers a few elegant analog clock styles. You find a quick link to it in the app menu, under Go to page / URL ...

Have you ever been to parties where you give your phone away to show photos to people ? That's all very nice, but if it isn't locked, you never know who might snoop in. But how to lock it if people need to see the photos ? WebLock comes to rescue.

Or, if you want to make sure you don't forget about something, write a note in the app's reminder page and point to it from WebLock. (On Android 9 and up, you should also set the lock screen wallpaper tracking option. See details in the help.) Then it will pop up regularly on your lock screen. Very helpful if you're a bit forgetful. It will annoy you, but it will help you remember.
