Cover is more than just a lock screen replacement, however. It also has a UI addition that aims to be smart app switching for mobile. For example, when you're in email, you can hold down on the top right to bring up a list of shortcuts with apps like the browser or maps, as those are what most people normally switch to when typing out a letter to a friend. "We want this to be like Alt-Tab for mobile, so you can jump directly between apps lightning fast," says Jackson. Last, but not least, Cover also has smart settings that let you set ringer volumes and wallpapers for the aforementioned geofenced locations.

So if Cover is so wonderful, why isn't the company launching it to the public right now? Well, that's because it's still in beta. "We want the quality of the recommendation engine to be really good. We've only had 30 users in the alpha test in the past month and we want more data!" Jackson also wanted us to know that one of the key takeaways from Cover is that it's 100 percent committed to Android as a platform. "We're doing something that you can never do on an iPhone," he said, pointing out that the development cycle is very different from that on iOS.

"We're making a huge bet on Android that this will be the operating system that billions of users will adopt over the next several years." With the plethora of Android phones out there, he hopes that Cover will be the one UI replacement that users will want to install in order to have a unified experience. "When consumers switch brands, we want the first app they want to install is Cover, in order to bring back that same user experience they know and love regardless of the phone they use."
