The Privacy Toolbox integrates app management, private albums, and daily gadgets into one place. Without the need to register an account, you can organize apps, store private media, and record daily information on your iPhone, making it easier to manage your personal privacy. [Manage applications by group] Select apps through Apple's system selector, create privacy groups based on scenarios, manually apply hiding or locking rules, and restore them at any time. The free version supports 1 privacy group and up to 3 apps; restoring all apps is always free. [New: Private Album] Select photos and videos, import them, encrypt and save them locally. Create albums, move media, browse photos, play videos, and you can also export copies to the system album. Importing private media requires Pro; viewing, organizing, exporting, and deleting existing content are not restricted due to subscription expiration. Importing will not automatically hide or delete the originals in the system album. Deleting the originals requires separate confirmation and system authorization; if using iCloud Photos, deletions may be synchronized to other devices, and the "Recently Deleted" folder still needs to be managed manually. [Daily Tools and Appearance] The calculator supports daily calculations; the notepad supports local notes; the accounting book supports income, expenditure, classification, and monthly summary. It provides toolbox, calculator, notepad, and accounting book icon options. Pro can set these tools as outer pages and enter the privacy console through a secret entry and device authentication. When using the calculator outer page for the first time, you need to set your own numerical password. [Local priority] No need to register a developer account, no ads or tracking SDK. Application configuration, notes, and accounts are saved locally, with secret passwords using iOS Keychain, and authentication is completed by the Apple system. [Pro Purchase] We offer monthly subscription, annual subscription, and lifetime purchase options. Pro unlocks multiple privacy groups, more apps, lock mode, three outer tools, and alternate icons. Eligible first-time annual subscribers can enjoy a 3-day free trial. Specific prices and qualifications are subject to the purchase page. Automatic renewal subscriptions will be billed through your Apple account and can be managed or canceled in the system subscription settings; lifetime purchases do not automatically renew. [Instructions for Use] Private albums do not provide cloud synchronization, cloud backup, or developer retrieval services, and their data is not included in system backups. Uninstalling the app, losing the device, or losing the key may result in content being unrecoverable. Please export important materials in advance. There is no recycle bin for content deleted from private albums. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
