LOCK ANY APP YOU CHOOSE Protect WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Snapchat, Photos, Messages, TikTok, YouTube, email, banking apps, and more*. App Locker restricts app launches using Apple Screen Time until you unlock with Face ID, PIN, Password, or 2FA (6-digit, time-based codes). WHY IT WORKS Uses Apple Screen Time (Family Controls) to restrict app launches. No content is read, scanned, or uploaded. Fast, reliable, and privacy-first by design. Uses only official Apple APIs (no jailbreak, no hacks). DUAL 2FA (6-DIGIT CODES) App Unlock 2FA: require a fresh time-based code to open App Locker. App Access 2FA: require a fresh code every time a protected app is launched. Two independent layers. One strong defense. LAUNCH GATE (NEW) Add an optional launch-time unlock challenge before accessing the app: Calculator challenge Time-based PIN Icon sequence puzzle If multiple methods are enabled, you choose which one to solve. This gate works inside the app only and does not change system behavior or app icons. UNLOCK MODES Timed Unlock: open apps for 5–60 minutes, then auto-relock. Unlimited Unlock (∞): keep apps accessible until you manually relock. WHAT YOU CAN DO Lock individual apps or app groups. One-Tap App Shield to instantly restrict launches. Face ID, PIN, Password, and 2FA (use one or combine). Intruder Photo: capture failed attempts (stored on device). Activity Log and detailed usage stats. Widgets and quick actions for focus and study. PRIVACY FIRST We never read your messages, photos, or app data. Intruder photos never leave your device. No tracking, no ads, no data selling. FREE TO START, PRO WHEN YOU NEED IT Start free with core locking. Upgrade to unlock advanced security like Dual 2FA, extended logs, advanced stats, and launch gate options. GREAT FOR Privacy: protect personal chats and photos. Focus: block distracting apps. Shared devices: add an extra layer before lending your phone. AVAILABILITY NOTE * App availability depends on iOS version, country, and developer restrictions. App Locker restricts app launches using Apple Screen Time and does not modify other apps or your Home Screen icons.
