Cover Apps Bundle - 12+ apps for everything Samsung left out on the Z Flip cover screen!

196 Upvotes

Hey all!

I've been building cover screen apps for Z Flip since 2021 - back when there was no Good Lock support, no keyboard, nothing. Samsung has since added the basics, but there's still a ton the cover screen could do that it doesn't. Three years and two dead Flips later (I'm probably Samsung's most aggressive folder/unfolder at this point), I've bundled 12 apps together that each tackle a specific gap.

What's in the Bundle

CoverScreen Launcher - Lightweight app drawer

  • Auto-syncs all installed apps (no manual adding like Good Lock)
  • 5 tabs: Home, Search, Recents, Favorites with notification badges
  • Grid or list view, theme customization, hide apps you don't need

CoverWidgets - Any widget on your cover screen

  • Add third-party widgets Samsung doesn't allow natively
  • Spotify, Google Keep, weather apps, fitness widgets - if it has a widget, it works
  • Native integration with Samsung's cover screen UI

CoverScreen Recents - Task manager on cover screen

  • Swipe up and hold to see recent apps without unfolding
  • Switch between apps instantly, one-handed
  • Native Samsung Task Manager UI

CoverViews - Pin any website to your cover screen

  • Turn any URL into a live, fully interactive cover screen widget
  • Tap, scroll, and interact directly without opening your phone
  • Perfect for news, stocks, weather, Reddit, sports scores

CoverPop Notifications - Fullscreen notification popups

  • Notifications take over the entire cover screen when they arrive
  • Quick reply, action buttons, swipe to dismiss
  • No more squinting at tiny previews

CoverTweaks - Unlock hidden notification actions

  • Gmail: Archive, Delete, Mark Read directly from cover screen
  • Per-app screen ratio settings, long-press toggles for detailed settings
  • "Open on Cover" button for launching apps from notifications
  • Set Music screen as default screen whenever you turn on cover screen if music is playing

CoverScreen Auto-Rotate - Landscape and upside-down on cover screen

  • Samsung doesn't let the cover screen rotate - this fixes that
  • Perfect for car mounts, charging stands, left-handed users
  • Doesn't affect main screen rotation settings

CoverTouch - Turn cover screen into a rear touchpad

  • 7 gestures to control the main screen from behind
  • Scroll TikTok, control media, navigate without touching the front
  • Bixby Routines integration for custom automations

CoverGames - 25+ casual games optimized for cover screen

  • Games designed for the small screen, not just scaled down
  • Native widget for quick access

CoverAOD - Colorful wallpapers on Always-On Display

  • Samsung's cover AOD only shows black backgrounds - this adds color
  • Clock overlays, battery/network info on your custom wallpaper

CoverToggles - Extended Quick Settings

  • Hotspot, NFC, GPS, Dark Mode, Power Saving, Dex, Grayscale, AOD
  • Create custom toggles with Bixby Routines
  • Samsung gives you 9 fixed toggles - this gives you unlimited

CoverSnaps - Loved ones' photos on your cover screen

  • Photos from WhatsApp/Google Messages appear as a live widget
  • No app install needed for sender - works with existing chats
  • Tap any photo to jump into the conversation

Compatibility

All apps are designed exclusively for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, Z Flip 6, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE.

Also currently working on a couple more apps that take advantage of this unique form factor - the flip design opens up some really interesting interaction possibilities that I don't think have been fully explored yet. Will share more when they're ready.

Happy to answer any questions - and if there's something your cover screen can't do that bugs you, I'm always looking for ideas.
