Of course there is a hundreds of lock screen tweaks that have allowed you to launch directly into an app before, but none of them featured the beautifully animated style of Atom. Don’t believe me? You don’t have to take my written word for it, check out our exclusive hands-on video inside, and see for yourself.
After watching the above video preview you will notice that Atom tweak completely removed the slide to unlock bar. It does so in favor of the little nub that you use to hover and release over the app that you want to launch. The nub is situated near the bottom of the Lock screen, squarely in the middle. This makes it easy to maneuver the nub with either hand.
Atom tweak contains a lot of great features, when you open the tweak setting’s menu, you’ll find six selections under the Position section for configuring the apps that will appear on the Lock screen. There’s Top Left, Top Right, Middle Left, Middle Right, Bottom Left, and Bottom Right. Each of these selections correspond directly to the position of the app icons that appear when you move the nub on the Lock screen. The position of the app icons on the Home screen is actually where the name of the tweak is derived, as it looks like an Atom molecule when joined by the necessary connecting lines.
With Atom tweak you will be able to fill your iPhone lock screen with six App Store shortcuts without conflict. There’s apparently only one rule you must follow, and that rule is that there must be an app configured for each shortcut. As it stands now, you can’t insert blank shortcuts in order to avoid populating one of the positions, every position must be filled with an app.
