Lock apps, block Shorts & Reels, hide photos. Privacy + focus, all in one app.
AppLock: Privacy & Focus combines a powerful app locker with
mindful screen time tools — all in one lightweight, privacy-first
app. Lock any app with PIN, pattern, or fingerprint. Block YouTube
Shorts, Instagram Reels, Instagram Stories, and WhatsApp Status
without locking the whole app. Pause distracting apps with a
mindful countdown. Everything stays on your device — no cloud,
no tracking.
🔐 LOCK ANY APP
Protect social media, messaging, gallery, banking, and any app on your device. Choose from PIN, pattern, or password lock. App Info
access is also protected — no bypassing through Settings.
🔓 BIOMETRIC UNLOCK
Unlock protected apps instantly with your fingerprint or face. Fast, secure, and convenient.
🚫 BLOCK SPECIFIC SECTIONS
Block distracting parts of an app without locking the whole thing. Block YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok feeds, or Stories —
while still using the rest of the app freely.
To detect which section is currently open, App Lock uses Android's Accessibility Service to read on-screen content inside the apps
you choose to block. This information is processed locally on your device and is never stored or transmitted anywhere.
⏸️ PAUSE MODE
Add a mindful pause before opening distracting apps. A countdown screen gives you a moment to reconsider — skip it or wait it out.
Helps you stay intentional about your screen time without hard-blocking.
🛡️ UNINSTALL PROTECTION
Prevent App Lock from being removed without your permission. Device Admin protection means no one can quietly uninstall it behind
your back.
👻 STEALTH MODE
Hide App Lock from your launcher and recent apps. Access it anytime via a secret dialer code or deep link — only you know it's
there.
📸 INTRUDER SELFIE
Catch snoopers in the act. App Lock silently captures a front-camera photo after failed unlock attempts.
⏱️ SMART AUTO-LOCK
Set custom lock delays — immediate, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes. Apps stay unlocked while you're actively using your phone.
🔑 ACCOUNT RECOVERY
Set up a recovery option so you're never permanently locked out, even if you forget your PIN, pattern, or password.
🎨 BEAUTIFUL THEMES
Choose from five handcrafted themes — Aurora, Pearl, Crimson, Obsidian. Light and dark modes included.
🔒 BUILT FOR PRIVACY
• All credentials are hashed with BCrypt — never stored in plain text
• Brute-force protection: 5 failed attempts triggers a lockout
• Accessibility Service data is never stored or transmitted off your device
• No internet permission required for core functionality
• No data collection, no analytics on your locked apps
• No cloud backup of your credentials
Whether you want to keep your apps private, stop the doomscrolling
spiral, or just take back control of your screen time — AppLock
helps you do it without compromise.
