User reviews

No longer works.

Bought app and doesn’t allow me to add any locks. Update it or remove it from the store.

Crashes when using camera

When I choose “take photo” and it tries to open the camera it crashes.

Missing obvious features

The idea is really good but it's missing two obvious and easy to implement features. 1) The ability to start the timer from the time you actually try to open the photo vault, not just from the time you created the vault, and 2) to relock the vault after it is unlocked and restart the timer. Those two simple features would make it actually useable for a lot more people. The way it is now I requested a refund from Apple.

Great App

Really like the simplicity. Very easy to use. I would however like the time limit to include years, not just days.
Also, when taking a photo of a combination, the thumbnail is still visible until you choose not to display it. Would be great to have blur thumbnail setting. Just to make sure you have all the dials included in your image but not to be able to see the actual digits.

FAQ

What does the Photo Time Lock app do?

This app allows you to lock photos for a specific duration, ranging from 1 minute to 365 days. Once locked, the photo cannot be viewed until the set time has elapsed. This feature is designed to help users voluntarily restrict access to photos for self-control or accountability.

How does the time-locking feature work?

When you lock a photo, you set a countdown timer. The app's time is verified via a remote NTP server, ensuring that tampering with your device's system time will not affect the lock duration. The photo remains inaccessible until the timer reaches zero.

Is there a way to unlock photos before the timer is up?

Yes, the app offers a 'Keyholder Unlock' feature. If enabled, a designated keyholder with a specific passcode can unlock any individual photo at any time, even if the countdown timer has not reached zero. This provides flexibility for urgent access.

What are some common use cases for this app?

Users might employ this app for various self-improvement scenarios, such as locking away gambling tools for a set period to prevent impulsive behavior, or limiting daily beer consumption by locking away excess stock for 24 hours. It's designed for situations where temporary restriction is beneficial.

What are the compatibility requirements for this app?

The application supports iPhone 5 and requires iOS 6.0 or later. Ensure your device meets these specifications to download and use the app effectively.
