App Lock is a privacy app designed to help keep your sensitive apps hidden and secure. With App Lock, you can easily lock and hide any app or media file you want, ensuring that you remain private and out of sight from prying eyes.

Hey Product Hunt! I’m Kevin, co-founder of Lilucat. Lilucat is a small team of developers passionate about creating amazing and user-friendly products. One of our most popular products right now is App Lock by Lilucat, and we’re excited to share a new feature with you: the ability to lock your private photos and videos with a password. With App Lock by Lilucat, you can: 🔒 Instantly block and lock any app on your device. These apps can only be unlocked with your PIN or Face ID, and we’re planning to add the option to unlock with a password soon. ⛔️ Disable specific configurations on your device, such as: Denying app installations, preventing app removal, blocking Safari, and restricting in-app purchases, among many other options. App Lock is an amazing solution for anyone looking to increase their privacy or prevent others from knowing which apps they’re using. This is especially useful in countries where certain apps could lead to persecution, or for those wanting to block financial apps or protect kids from making accidental purchases. We believe everyone will find their own way to use App Lock. Lastly, while Apple has introduced iOS 18 with Face ID app blocking and hiding, App Lock offers a different approach. When you hide apps with iOS, they’re still visible in a specific folder in the App Library. With our app, hidden apps are completely invisible and can only be accessed by entering your PIN in App Lock. We hope you find our product useful, and we welcome all your feedback! Kevin

@im_kevin_archer Congratulations on the launch of App Lock! It’s a fantastic solution for enhancing privacy and securing sensitive apps. I’m curious—will future updates include customizable themes or additional security features, such as a time-based auto-lock for added convenience?

@im_kevin_archer App Lock's ability to completely hide apps is a standout feature for anyone serious about privacy. I think the option to lock media with such seamless integration is perfect for users who want full control. One feature I'd love to see is an encrypted cloud backup for locked media, offering extra peace of mind. Wishing you and the team all the best with the launch!

Hi @owenfar, thank you for your feedback! I've noted all your suggestions in our to-do list and will do my best to incorporate them into our project as soon as possible.

Hi @shadmannazim, thank you for your kind words and support! We've noted your suggestion, and more than that, this feature is already on our roadmap. However, we're working on making it as user-friendly as possible.

Hey Kevin, I'm wondering, how does App Lock handle system updates or app reinstallations? Does it require any special permissions that might raise eyebrows for privacy-conscious users? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin These permissions are part of Screen Time access on iOS, so App Lock doesn’t need any specific permissions to handle updates or app reinstallations.

Hi @im_kevin_archer, congrats on the launch! Great privacy tool. A quick question: have you thought of blocking the apps for people that are "addicted" to social media and want to try to limit their app usage?

@neolocus Yes, we have even developed an app called Focus, which you can find in the bundle of apps included with the App Lock premium subscription. We offer a shared subscription for our apps in Lilucat, giving you premium access at no extra charge.
