For those who don’t know about Samsung’s Good Lock, it offers a suite of officially developed modules that allow users to customize as per their choice. The company came up with Good Lock 2021 earlier this year with features including the Theme Park, Wonderland, and NavStar modules. The new Routine+ comes with more conditions, actions, and more, as per the listings.

The listings

Routine+ includes location-based quick access, running a touch macro, and controlling arrow keys with the Stylus Pen. The users can set up a website to open every time they unlock their phone with the fingerprint. They can get a voice alert for low battery indication and display animations for messages with certain keywords.
