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.
