Your lock screen isn't your decision. It should be.
Five stacked cards on one phone. Three identical icons and a “+34” on another. A custom theme with notifications landing on top of it. Sillby puts them in a tab at the bottom edge instead — the Sill — and hands back the decisions the system made for you. Once you hide Android's own lock screen notifications in system settings — Sillby walks you there — the screen is yours again.
You decide what shows up, and how.
Most lock screens only let you glance. Tap the Sill and a panel opens with everything that arrived, readable in full. Reply from there. Dismiss from there. Conversations group by app — and by person, so the same friend writing from two different messaging apps lands in one card instead of two.
Nobody agrees on how this should work.
-
Your wallpaper is under there somewhere.
-
Thirty-seven notifications. Three of them got a logo.
-
You picked this theme. Something else moved in.
-
Something arrived. You'll find out what when you unlock.
-
“Wait, what did that notification say?”
Sillby keeps a local, searchable history of everything that came in — by app, by conversation, by date, for 1 to 30 days.
-
You can't tap the Sill if the screen never woke up.
Sillby can turn the screen on when something arrives, and you pick which apps earn that, one by one. Plenty of phones can't do this at all.
-
Dressed for your wallpaper.
Several panel themes, or let the panel take its colours from your wallpaper — or from any photo you hand it. The panel is a guest on your lock screen; it should dress like one.
Not everyone looking at your lock screen is you.
Decide what shows before you unlock: hide the sender, the message text, the avatar or the media preview — each one separately, rule by rule. The full content is never lost, it's just waiting in your history behind your unlock.
Sillby has no internet permission.
Android will tell you that itself — the list is in Settings, next to every other app on your phone. What's missing from it decides the rest: nothing to sign into, nothing to opt out of, nowhere for your notifications to end up. Your history stays here, and it's kept out of cloud backup on purpose.
Early access.
Free, no ads, no subscription. Notifications, privacy and history stay free for everyone. Some extras will be paid later — but not on this phone, and not for you.
