## What is AppLock?

This is a smart focus and digital wellbeing app that helps you cut distractions and stay in flow. With flexible time-based rules, you can automatically limit access to distracting apps during work, study or sleep.

◆ Focus Control

• Manual Mode – Quickly enable or disable focus rules for selected app groups with a single tap. Perfect for on-demand focus sessions.

• Time Mode – Schedule focus sessions (e.g., 09:00–12:00 on weekdays) and let the app automatically restrict distracting apps at those times. Rules run in the background even when the app is closed.

• Schedule-based Restrictions – Set specific time windows when apps are automatically locked. Ideal for work hours, study sessions, or sleep time.

• Daily Usage Limits – Set daily time limits for app groups. Once the limit is reached, apps are automatically restricted for the rest of the day.

◆ SafeBox – Private Storage

• Encrypted Photo & Video Albums – Safely store your private photos and videos in encrypted albums. Create custom albums and organize your memories with complete privacy protection.

• Private Contacts – Keep important contacts secure and separate from your regular address book. Import contacts and manage them privately.

• Local Encryption – All SafeBox data is encrypted and stored locally on your device. No data is uploaded to servers.

◆ System Control Tools

• Block App Deletion – Prevent apps from being deleted from your device.

• Block App Installation – Control which apps can be installed on your device.

• Block Payments – Require password authentication for all App Store purchases and block in-app purchases.

• Block Account Changes – Lock account settings to prevent unauthorized modifications.

• Block Date & Time Changes – Prevent tampering with device date and time settings.

• Game Center Controls – Block multiplayer gaming and prevent adding Game Center friends.

• Content Filtering – Block explicit content and set age rating restrictions for App Store downloads.

• Siri Control – Disable Siri access when needed.

◆ Intruder Detection

• Auto-capture photos when incorrect password is entered, helping you monitor unauthorized access attempts.

◆ How it works

This app uses Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls framework:

• You pick the apps or categories you want to manage with FamilyActivityPicker.

• The app applies Screen Time restrictions through the official ManagedSettings APIs.

• A Device Activity extension allows time-based rules to run even when the main app is closed.

All changes are fully under your control: you can edit, pause or delete any rule at any time.

◆ Privacy

• No user data is uploaded to servers.

• No third-party analytics, ads or tracking SDKs.

• All configuration data (groups, schedules, preferences, SafeBox content) is stored locally on your device with encryption.

This app is designed purely to help you build better focus habits, reduce time-wasting app usage and improve your digital wellbeing.
