Intelliscreen Provides Custom 'Slide to Unlock' Screen

Wednesday May 14, 2008 5:06 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
Intelliborn has released a beta version of their Intelliscreen application for the iPhone. At present, you must have a Jailbroken iPhone to install this software.

Intelliscreen replaces your "Slide to Unlock" screen with a customizable screen that shows you information from Calendar, Email, Text Messages, News, Sports, and Weather.



  • View Calendar, Email, Text Messages, News, Sports, and Weather from your iPhone "Slide To Unlock" screen
  • Smooth scrolling across each item to quickly glimpse at your data
  • Auto-Checks Email when you view the unlock screen - no need to "Refresh" from Mail.app or wait 15 minutes
  • Go directly to the application of your choice with a "Swipe"
  • Precise International Weather (by Zip) provided by Weather Underground.com
  • News Feeds include Yahoo!, CNN, Fox News, and Reuters (more coming soon!)
  • ESPN Sports Feeds include MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA Men's Football and NCAA Women's Basketball
  • Customizing your IntelliScreen is easy! Choose which content you want to view and where
  • Mail and Text Messages can be shown only if new items are available


As Beta software, you should proceed with caution. Installation instructions are provided in this thread.

Been using this for a couple of days .. pretty useful.

Need to know where your next meeting is? Do you have any new email? What about a quick glimpse at your SMS/Text messages or weather? Want to catch the latest news, but Safari is too slow? IntelliScreen allows you to glimpse at your critical data on your iPhone "Slide to Unlock" screen!

Very nice, ill have to try it later, although isn't it hard to quickly check the time now?

I'm sorry, but that type of cluttered nonsense is why I left Windows Mobile and got an iPhone in the first place. Blech!

nice,
what I would really like is just a quick summary of unread emails, texts, missed calls. By summary I mean just the icon with the little red dot that says the number. That way I could have that info at a glance without having any "real" info showing before the phone is unlocked.

I'm with you on that one.. I'd really like it if I could turn off the preview of what text messages say, but only an alert that I have a text and maybe who it's from.

It is really cluttered, and it does defeat the purpose of a clock there :rolleyes: but it is nice. If this came for free as a download from the app store, I would definatly give this a try. Lots of nice information there, looks nice, but they definatly should do something with the clock, move it if they can, or otherwise.

I don't like the cluttered crap either, but I do like the Vonagent that they have on their website. Looks like an installer app. I have vonage and would love this app.

I've installed it on my iPod touch and I must say... I like this app quite a lot. Once of my top 10 of all time for the iPhone OS. Can't wait for June + 2.0 + AppStore :)
