## What is Padlok?

Stuck in front of an apartment building, scrolling through old messages for the door code? Padlok remembers every door code, gate code, intercom and floor for you — and shows them right when you arrive.

THE CODE FINDS YOU
Get close to an address and Padlok sends a notification with everything you need to get in: codes, intercom name, floor, and your notes. Just passing by? It quietly disappears. That's geofencing working for you, not watching you.

And every address can set its own terms: the hours it may speak up, and the exact area that counts as arriving. No buzz from the office at the weekend, and a circle sized to the building instead of the street.

EVERYTHING TO GET IN, ON ONE CARD
- Door and gate codes, intercom, floor, and any access notes
- Add addresses from Contacts, Maps, or a postal address
- Grouped by town, so you can pull up one place at a time
- Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets showing the nearest address
- One-tap directions in your favorite maps app
- On your wrist too, with the Apple Watch app

SHARING YOUR GUESTS WILL LOVE
Send an address with its codes as a secure link or a QR code. The code carries the address itself, so it scans with no signal on either side. Guests open it in the browser or an App Clip — no account, no install. Perfect for dinner parties, babysitters, and deliveries.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Door codes are secrets, and Padlok treats them that way: everything is stored and shared end-to-end encrypted through iCloud, so nobody else can read them — not even us. No ads, no tracking, ever.

MADE FOR EVERYONE
Padlok speaks 26 languages, with full VoiceOver support, free app icon customization, and iCloud sync across all your devices.

- Every address, not just the nearest three
- Arrival notifications on as many as you like

### 1/5 — Poor management

*2025-04-09*

Seems likely me it’d be a great app except stalkers use it download it remote and track you. Going to police station this is not ok.

**Developer response:** Wow — that’s a wild claim!
To be clear: the app does use location, but that information never leaves your device.
It’s all processed locally, with no way for anyone to access or track you remotely.
Privacy is built into the core of how Padlok works.
I find it extremely hard to believe Padlok could be used to stalk anyone.
That said, I take all feedback seriously. 
If you truly believe this is possible, please explain how via our feedback form so we can investigate and address it — if there's anything to fix.

### 5/5 — Easier access unlocked!

*2023-11-27*

Do you have lots of door codes to remember? Maybe some at work, some for elderly relatives, even ones at home? Well, Padlok is the app to unlock an easier way of remembering them!

Add codes to Padlok based on the location you need the code at. When you arrive at the location, Padlok can inform you of the relevant code. Genius!

It’s a neat, well focused app, that looks and works great.

**Developer response:** Hi LordMooch!

We are so glad to read this!
And that Padlok is useful for you.

Thank you for your support 🙂

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2023-11-24*

Does what it says and does it well.

### 5/5 — Top !

*2023-10-03, version 2023.21*

Super application, réel gain de temps. 
Facilite la vie, je recommande !

### 5/5 — Plus de synchro

*2023-09-26, version 2023.20*

MAJ :
Problème résolu. 
Merci à toute l’équipe pour un superbe travail. 
—————
Pour l’instant la synchro ne marche pas mieux mais je n’ai jamais vu une équipe faire autant pour régler un problème technique. 
 ——————-
 Depuis plusieurs jours la synchro avec l’Apple Watch ne fonctionne plus. J’ai écrit au support mais aucune réponse.

### 5/5 — Fabuleux !

*2023-09-12, version 2023.19*

Je me demande comment je faisais avant ! Tellement pratique ! Avant même d’arriver la notification s’affiche et tous les codes sont sous les yeux sans aucune manipulation. Un réel gain de temps surtout quand on est chargé ou par mauvais temps. Topissime !

### 5/5 — Super appli

*2023-09-10, version 2023.19*

Génial !
Plus besoin de redemander les codes à chaque fois, et la notification à l’arrivée marche très bien et est super pratique ! 5 étoiles pour une super application.

### 5/5 — Super app !

*2023-03-05, version 2023.4*

L’app répond à un besoin très concret, elle le fait très bien ! Super pratique 👏

### 5/5 — Top du top!!

*2023-02-04, version 2023.3*

Franchement rien a redire. 
Il manque juste le dynamic island et le mode activité en direct à la Uber / Fotmob pour être parfait 😛

### 5/5 — Tout est si agréable et si bien pensé !

*2023-01-23, version 2023.1*

Une application comme on aimerait qu’elles soient toutes ! 

Chaque détail est bien pensé, bien dessiné, agréable à utiliser, les mises à jour sont en plus récurrentes et apportent beaucoup de nouveautés, un régal.

La géolocalisation et le partage de fiches sont très pratiques au quotidien. J’apprécie également qu’on puisse sélectionner sa solution de navigation jusqu’à l’adresse (même TomTom Go est proposée) ainsi que la compatibilité Apple Watch, très pratique. 

Je conseille vivement d’autant plus que de beaux ajouts sont annoncés par le développeur pour cette année !

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2026.4 — 2026-09-12

Padlok's actions now sit where you go looking for them, and two of them are new.

FIVE ACTIONS, NO ASSEMBLY
Open Padlok in the Shortcuts app and they are waiting: open an address, read its codes back, show its QR code, get its share link, or scan a new code. Each one asks which address when it runs.

SHOW A CODE, SCAN A CODE
Two new ones. Show an address's QR code to hand it to somebody standing next to you. Scan a code to take a new address in, without opening the app first.

THE CODES, ON SCREEN
Asking for a summary used to hand back text with nowhere to put it. It draws the address's card now — the codes, the building, the floor — the same card an arrival notification shows, and it still never reads them out loud.

ALL OF THEM IN SPOTLIGHT
Every address you allow in suggestions is searchable now, not only the ones you have opened before — by its name, or by the street it stands on. Your door codes stay out of the index, as they always have. Turn “Show in suggestions” off and an address leaves search properly.

SAY IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY
The spoken phrases are shorter now: “What's the Padlok code”, “Open an address in Padlok”, “Get a Padlok link”. Siri asks which address after.

Plus a quieter fix: hitting the free limit now says so, instead of asking you to pick another address.

### 2026.3 — 2026-09-11

Padlok is now where you go looking for it: your addresses turn up in Spotlight, and Siri answers for them out loud.

FOUND IN SPOTLIGHT
Search a street or a town from the Home Screen and your addresses come back with it. Your door codes never do — the index carries the street, the town and the location, and nothing that opens a door. An address you've turned "Show in suggestions" off for stays out of it altogether.

JUST ASK
Four things you can say now, without building a shortcut first:
• "What's the Padlok code for Mom's?"
• "Open Mom's in Padlok"
• "Send me the Padlok notification for Mom's" — the codes land on your Lock Screen instead of being read out loud in a crowded elevator.
• "Get the Padlok link for Mom's"

READY FOR APPLE INTELLIGENCE
On iOS 27, an address handed to Padlok from another app opens straight on the right card.

### 2026.2 — 2026-09-03

A tidy-up after the big 2026.1 release.

Premium now shows you what it gives you before what it costs, and Restore tells you whether it actually found anything. If Indie App Santa gave you Padlok, that's spelled out on screen at last.

Tags can be deleted straight from the filter, and adding an address is easier to spot.

STILL NEW IN 2026.1
• Addresses group themselves into places, and the filter is a panel of badges.
• Arrival notifications can keep their own hours and their own area. (Premium)
• QR codes work with no signal at all.
• Built for iOS 26.

### 2026.1 — 2026-09-01

Padlok's biggest release yet: your addresses group themselves into places, arrival notifications keep hours, and QR codes work with no signal at all.

PLACES
Addresses group themselves by town, and the filter can narrow to one of them. The map opens on the area you're standing in instead of framing the whole country. A long press renames any place or tag.

A FILTER YOU CAN READ
The filter is a panel now: how many addresses come through it up top, every tag, place and pin as a badge below. Tap a badge to include it, tap again to exclude it — no more hidden swipes.

NOTIFICATIONS THAT KNOW WHEN AND WHERE
An address can carry its own hours and its own area: no buzzing from the office at the weekend, and a circle you can drag and size to the building rather than the street. (Premium)

QR CODES WITHOUT A SERVER
A Padlok code now carries the address itself instead of a link to it — so it works with no signal on either end, for every address, and leaves nothing behind on a server. Scanning uses the whole camera, focuses up close, and tells you when a code isn't ours.

BUILT FOR iOS 26
A new Liquid Glass app icon, a drawer that behaves like a system sheet, and every way to add an address gathered onto one glass button.

ALSO
• Padlok speaks 26 languages, notifications included.
• Addresses are free to create, however many — the three nearest stay open.
• Favorites are pins now, marked only where the pin is what moved the row.
• Twelve new pictograms — a parking garage, a shop, a package, a charging point.
• Distances read in whole units, and finally respect the setting.
• Pick your maps app from a menu instead of an alert.
• An arrival stays in Notification Center, and can hide its codes four hours later.
• The in-app biometric lock is gone: iOS locks Padlok behind Face ID itself, and does it better.

And a long sweep underneath — iCloud sync, widgets and the Watch app refreshing on their own, the map no longer stacking a second set of pins, notifications carrying the floor, code labels and intercom number again, Shortcuts, sharing and Premium.
