About

TimeLock

Features
Read full description

Time Lock is a local utility for screen health and self-management. Store passwords, images or notes you don’t want to access prematurely, creating a buffer against impulsive app opening. Time Lock • Generate random numeric, complex or custom passwords. Add images and notes for image-text locks. • Set separate access rules for each entry: specific daily hours, selected weekly days & time slots, or unlock permanently after a set date & time. • One preview allowed right after creation. Content cannot be viewed or copied before rules are met. • Entries can be deleted 6 hours after creation with double confirmation; password or Face ID verification optional. Password Vault Organize accounts, passwords, hints, notes and images by category for easy management. Privacy & Terms Passwords and app lock data are stored in device secure storage. Selected images reside in the app’s private directory. Time Lock only enforces in-app access limits. It does not restrict other apps and cannot prevent device time tampering.(It is recommended to enable Screen Time / Digital Wellbeing to prevent modifying the device time.)Back up critical credentials properly. Uninstalling the app may result in permanent local data loss.
