Cloak helps you control access to the apps that matter, automatically. Create Modes that lock selected apps by place, schedule, or a manual switch. When you need access again, pause with one tap and let Cloak resume on your terms. HOW IT WORKS - Pick the apps you want controlled - Create a Mode (Work, Focus, Personal, Travel…) - Choose when it runs: trusted areas, restricted areas, schedule, or manual TWO LOCK STYLES - Basic Lock: apps stay visible but won’t open while a mode is active - Advanced Lock: uses system behavior to make selected apps unavailable while active (iOS may adjust Home Screen layout when apps return) TRUSTED AREAS, RESTRICTED AREAS & SCHEDULES - Pause inside trusted places and lock again when you leave - Lock inside restricted areas (for specific places you choose) - Run on a repeating schedule (weekdays + time window) PAUSE WHEN YOU NEED TO - Pause for 15 minutes - Pause until you leave (temporary location hold) - Pause until you resume manually LOCK SCREEN STATUS - See whether Cloak is active or paused - View a countdown when paused (Live Activity) and resume quickly NOTES & REQUIREMENTS - Cloak uses Apple Screen Time controls to apply locks. You’ll be asked to grant Screen Time permission during setup. - Location-based modes require location permission. iOS limits region monitoring (typically up to 20 areas per app). - App selection limits can apply depending on the lock style and Apple system behavior.

Verdict

The call

Cloak and Clipboard Manager both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Clipboard Manager's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cloak's. Clipboard Manager also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Cloak's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (12 vs 3). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloak sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Clipboard Manager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cloak holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Cloak's written reviews are positive against 100% of Clipboard Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cloak ships an update weekly, Clipboard Manager every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
