Dashclock gained a cult following virtually overnight for being one of the most extensible heads-up style widgets around. Out of the box, you can configure it to show your local weather, missed calls, unread texts, calendar events, next alarm, or unread Gmail counts. However, with extensions (which you can easily find on the Play Store) you can add a ton of additional functionality including:
A battery meter
Music controls
A data usage monitor
Notifications from any app you choose
Or anything else you can think up
With all that on your lock or home screen, you can instantly see what's coming in and whether it needs to be dealt with or not—no need to go into every individual app or drag down the notification bar. If there's one widget on this list that you install, it should probably be this one. While it may take some work to get everything set up, Dashclock is a one-stop shop for making the most of your lock screen. Oh, and it looks pretty slick, too.
