Full description
Protect your apps. Hide private photos and files. Browse privately, all in one secure privacy app. App Lock & Secure Photo Vault helps you lock sensitive apps, protect selected photos, videos, audio and documents in an encrypted secure folder, browse privately with tracker blocking and optional browser-only proxy routing. You choose what to protect.. ACCESSIBILITYSERVICE API DISCLOSURE The optional Instant App Blocker and Tamper Protection features use Android's AccessibilityService API. When you enable the service and choose apps to protect, it detects the foreground app and displays the PIN, pattern or supported biometric lock screen before a protected app opens. When Tamper Protection is enabled, the service also recognises Android Settings pages related to this app, including App info, Accessibility, Usage access and Device admin. It processes the foreground package name, active-window content and visible Settings labels to ask for your vault PIN before protection is disabled, the app is force-stopped or uninstall is attempted. This information is processed in real time on your device. It is not collected, saved, uploaded, sold or shared. The service is optional and enabled only after your consent in the app and Android Accessibility settings. You may decline it. The device owner can enter the configured PIN to continue, disable the service or uninstall the app. The app does not change system settings or uninstall apps itself. APP LOCK Keep private apps protected from unauthorised access. • Lock messaging, social media, gallery, email, banking and other apps • Unlock with PIN, pattern or supported biometric authentication • Fast protection when a locked app is opened • Intruder protection for failed access attempts • Optional PIN-gated Settings and uninstall protection SECURE PHOTO AND VIDEO VAULT Keep selected personal media protected inside your private vault. • Hide private photos and videos • AES-256 encryption for protected files • Organise private content inside the vault • Import only the files you choose • Keep the vault behind your authentication You do not need to hide your entire gallery. Protect only what is private. PRIVATE FILE VAULT Protect photos, videos, audio, documents and other supported files. Protected content is encrypted locally on your Android device. PRIVATE BROWSER Browse without mixing private activity with your regular browser. • Built-in private web browser • Browsing history and cookies clear when the private session closes • Blocks known trackers • Download supported files directly to your private vault OPTIONAL PROXY ROUTING When enabled, the built-in browser can route its own pages and downloads through a proxy. This affects only browsing inside Secure Folder and never routes traffic from other apps. DISGUISED VAULT Disguise your private space behind a working calculator. The calculator works normally, while the secure folder remains accessible only through your secret authentication. ENCRYPTED GOOGLE DRIVE BACKUP Create an optional backup of protected content to your own Google Drive. Files are encrypted on your device before backup. Backup remains optional and under your control. INTRUDER PROTECTION Capture an intruder selfie after the number of failed unlock attempts you choose. NOTIFICATION PRIVACY Reduce exposure of sensitive information from protected apps in notification previews. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Core vault protection is designed to work locally on your device. You do not need an account just to use the private vault, and protected files are not automatically uploaded to a remote server. Use one privacy app for app lock, secure folder protection, photo vault storage, private browsing and everyday mobile privacy. Also known as AppLock. Lock WhatsApp, gallery, messages and settings behind fingerprint, PIN or pattern, and hide photos, hide videos and hide apps in a private vault with gallery lock.

What's new

Hiding a photo now removes it from your gallery, as it should. Android asks you to confirm the delete once. Fixed a crash at launch for people updating from a much older version. App Lock now tells you if Android stops it in the background, and one tap turns it back on.
