Lock a password, a code or a card PIN away from yourself. It opens only after the wait you chose — an hour, a day, a week. No friend needs to hold it for you. HOW IT WORKS Name it, put the thing in, pick the wait. When you want it back, ask: the wait starts then, and the entry opens when it's over. Lock it again and the next time waits too. Nothing opens immediately — that's the point. The wait is timed by Apple's iCloud servers, not by your phone's clock. Make it longer whenever you like and it applies at once; make it shorter and the new length only takes effect once the old one has passed. WHAT PEOPLE LOCK AWAY • A social media password, right after changing it • Recovery codes and backup codes • A card PIN or a card number • The login for a shop or a game • Photos you keep going back to • A seed phrase — keep your own offline backup too. TimeLocked is a delay, not a backup. WHAT IT PROTECTS — AND WHAT IT DOESN'T TimeLocked protects you from you: from the version of you who wants it back at 2am. It is not a safe against someone else. Anyone who can unlock your iPhone can open what's past its wait, unless you add a master password. We have no server of our own and can't read what you lock — so we can't open it for you either. Keep an offline copy of anything you can't afford to lose. WHERE YOUR THINGS ARE KEPT What's inside an entry is encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment you save. Entries and their waits live on this phone and in your private iCloud. The name you give an entry is not encrypted, so don't put the password itself in the name. Photos and voice notes aren't synced to iCloud: deleting the app deletes them, unless you restore from a device backup. For an entry that's in iCloud, deleting the app doesn't end the wait — the key stays in your Keychain and the clock is Apple's. With iCloud sync off, entries aren't synced either — but every wait still needs your iCloud account: each request to open and each time check is a small record in your private iCloud, with nothing of what you locked in it. The app opens with Face ID or your iPhone passcode, and you can add a six-digit code of its own. A master password takes the key out of iCloud and puts it behind a password only you know. FOR THE MOMENT ITSELF The Pause tab is for what you're about to do: a purchase, a message you'd regret, anything else. Send a link straight in from Safari or a shop with the Share button. It waits as long as you chose, then comes back and asks whether you still want it. What you let go is counted, with the money you didn't spend. Write a few words to your future self while your head is clear. The letter is encrypted and travels with the entry; a voice note isn't synced to iCloud. PREMIUM Premium adds two things: closing the apps you pick while something waits — or every night on your schedule — and keeping more than three things in the Vault. Screen Time does the closing on your phone; TimeLocked never sees which apps you use, only the ones you pick. Every wait length, and opening what you locked, stays outside Premium. — Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions after purchase. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
