Whether you’re cooking, driving, working out, or carrying things, Hey Buddy gives you a truly hands free assistant experience with fast, reliable voice operated controls.

A secure voice screen lock immediately covers your current app. VOICE SCREEN LOCK Record a custom lock phrase once and use voice lock any time to lock your phone. Unlock using your personal voice unlock phrase or your secure 4-digit backup passcode. Before saving your phrases, Hey Buddy shows exactly what it heard so you know your voice recognition will work correctly. Voice lock cannot be enabled without setting a backup passcode, helping prevent accidental lockouts. The screen lock securely covers every app. The Back and Home buttons cannot dismiss it. Your backup passcode always works whenever voice unlock isn’t practical. SET UP IN MINUTES Turn on Hey Buddy and allow microphone permission. Enable “Display over other apps” so the voice screen lock can appear above your apps. Choose two or three words for your lock and unlock phrases. Grant additional permissions only for the voice actions you want to use, such as making calls or answering calls.
