Padlock will change the relationship you have with your phone. Tap it against your iPhone, stash the Padlock somewhere that's out of the way, and your distracting apps are locked up.

Info Locker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Home maintenance and repairs are often made more difficult because simple, basic information wasn't noted or photo'd at the time. Or perhaps this was done, but the photos lost in with thousands of others on your phone. Info Locker gives an easy way to organise and retrieve this (boring, but still useful?) information when you need it, with a simple, visual interface.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Padlock at none against Info Locker's 3. Padlock also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Info Locker's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
