Is your child glued to their phone? Worried about inappropriate content affecting their development? Afraid that important apps might be accidentally deleted? Do you find yourself mindlessly opening social media for "just a second" only to lose half an hour? Are you kept awake by late-night notifications, scrolling for hours? Own Vault is your personal digital guardian. It provides professional-grade encryption protection for sensitive apps like social media and payment platforms. But more than that, it features a powerful "Full Block" mode that lets you instantly block entertainment and gaming apps with a single tap — helping you or your child stay focused and productive, free from digital distractions. A built-in secure password manager safely stores all your account credentials and banking information, with one-tap autofill for even the most complex passwords. The private browsing mode creates a truly "trail-free" browsing experience, automatically clearing your history and protecting you from prying eyes and device tracking — a double layer of security for your digital life. Key Features: • One‑Tap App Blocking – Select the apps you want to restrict; system‑level blocking makes them nearly impossible to open casually • Customizable Block List – Flexibly choose which apps to block and adjust your settings anytime • System‑Level Enforcement – Powered by iOS's native Screen Time framework, blocking cannot be easily bypassed Subscription Plans Weekly Plan: $0.99/week Annual Plan: $39.9/year About Us Privacy Policy:https://hidespace.soundkey.net/en/privacy.html Terms of Use:https://hidespace.soundkey.net/en/tos.html Service Agreement:https://hidespace.soundkey.net/en/agreement.html
