Your phone gets snatched while you're using it, still unlocked. How long before a thief is in your banking app? With most phones: instantly. inZono locks the apps that matter behind Face ID β€” so even with your phone unlocked in someone else's hands, your banking, wallet, messages, and photos stay sealed. Create a Zone, choose the apps to protect, and arm it. While active, those apps are locked at the OS level β€” not hidden, not disguised, genuinely unopenable. No fake calculator icon, no gimmick vault. inZono uses Apple's own Screen Time framework β€” the same system behind parental controls β€” reviewed and approved by Apple, not a shady lookalike app. LOCKED DOWN, FOR REAL β€’ Lock banking, wallet, messaging, photo, and social apps β€’ Blocked at the OS level β€” apps can't be opened, not just hidden β€’ Require Face ID to disable a Zone β€” a thief can't turn it off without your face β€’ Block app deletion while a Zone is active ARMED WHEN YOU NEED IT β€’ Activate instantly with one tap, or set it to arm itself β€’ Schedule Zones for your commute, nights out, or travel β€’ Auto-activate by location β€” arm the moment you leave home BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY MOVE THROUGH YOUR DAY β€’ Create multiple Zones for different risk moments β€’ Choose any app from your device using Apple's Screen Time system β€’ Name and personalize each Zone with icons and schedules inZono uses Apple's Family Controls framework to lock apps at the system level. Apps can't send notifications. They can't be opened. Whoever has your phone hits a wall. Download inZono and lock down what matters. FREE TO START β€’ One Zone with Face ID protection, free forever β€’ Block app deletion while it's active INZONO PRO β€’ Unlimited Zones β€’ Automatic activation by schedule or location β€’ Advanced Lock for maximum discretion β€’ Alerts when a Zone switches on β€”β€”β€” inZono is free to download and use. inZono Pro is optional: β€’ Monthly: $3.99/month β€’ Yearly: $29.99/year β€’ Lifetime: $49.99, one-time purchase Prices may vary by region.
