Hey there folks! You might have noticed a few things have changed here at Techaeris HQ!

We enjoyed our time over at WordPress.com and thank them for hosting us and being very kind to us.

So for about two days straight I scoured the Play Store for lock screen alternatives that would mimic the Nexus 5 until I finally came across SlideLock. SlideLock is a lock screen notifier replacement by Silver Finger Software who some of you may know from NotifierPro and coordinating themes in the Play store.
