FileLock keeps your private files private. Photos, videos, documents and music go behind a passcode, and stay on your iPhone, where nobody else can reach them. HIDE WHAT MATTERS Move photos and videos out of your camera roll into a folder only you can open. Bring them in from Photos, from Files, from iCloud, or straight from your Mac over USB. Once they are in, they are out of everything else. OPENS ONLY FOR YOU Face ID, Touch ID or a four-digit passcode. FileLock re-locks itself after you leave, so a phone left on a table stays shut. 30 TOOLS, ALL ON DEVICE Scan documents to PDF. Merge, split, rotate, compress and password-protect PDFs. Convert HEIC to JPG, resize and compress images, pull the text out of a picture. Extract audio from a video, compress it, mute it. Zip and unzip, read QR codes and barcodes, make your own. Every one runs on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing needs a connection. A BROWSER THAT KEEPS QUIET Browse with real tabs. History and bookmarks stay behind your passcode. Download straight into your vault instead of into somebody else's cloud. PLAY WITHOUT LEAVING Music and video play inside the app, with a queue, background playback and a sleep timer. Cover art included. SEE WHAT IS INSIDE Storage broken down by type, so you know exactly what you are carrying. NO CLOUD. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. FileLock has no server to send anything to. There is no sign-up, nothing watching what you open, and no way for us, or anyone, to see what you keep. Your files never leave your device unless you send them somewhere yourself. FILELOCK PRO Everything is included free, with a daily cap on tool runs, imports and downloads. FileLock PRO removes every cap. FileLock PRO is an auto-renewing subscription, offered weekly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
