AppLock
Android

Your apps and media, locked to your phone.

AppLock puts a PIN, pattern or fingerprint in front of any app you choose, and gives you a private vault for photos, videos, audio and documents. Everything you store stays in the app's private storage on your device — there is no account to create and no server to sync to.

App lock

Pick the apps that matter. AppLock draws an unlock screen the moment one of them opens.

Media vault

Move photos, videos, audio and documents out of your gallery and into a private space.

Intruder photo

After repeated wrong attempts, the front camera quietly captures who is holding the phone.

Disguise the icon

Swap the launcher icon so the app does not announce itself on your home screen.

What AppLock is, and what it is not

AppLock is a convenience lock. Your vault files and intruder photos are kept in the app's private internal storage, where other apps cannot reach them, but they are not encrypted at rest, and your PIN is stored as a one-way hash rather than used as an encryption key. It is designed to keep casual snoopers out of your phone — it is not designed to withstand forensic tools or someone with physical access and technical skill.

We say this plainly here because we would rather you know than assume. It is the same reason the app itself makes no encryption claims.

Privacy in one paragraph

AppLock has no accounts, no login and no backend of ours. Your locked-app list, vault contents, intruder photos and PIN never leave your device. The app is free and supported by ads, so the Google AdMob and Firebase SDKs inside it do collect advertising and diagnostic data — including your advertising ID and an approximate, IP-derived location. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent before any of that happens. The privacy policy spells out exactly what is collected and by whom.

AppLock is currently in internal testing on Google Play. A public listing will be linked here once the app is released. If you are a tester, use the invitation link you were sent.
