AppLock - Fingerprint for Android

Why lock individual apps?

A screen lock is a first line of defense, but it doesn't stop someone who already has access to your unlocked phone from opening sensitive applications. With hacks and privacy breaches increasing, adding an app-level lock is a practical way to keep personal information safe. Smart App Protector provides an additional barrier that prevents unauthorized users from browsing your apps and data.

Key locking capabilities

Smart App Protector delivers multiple ways to secure apps and device functions so you can tailor protection to your needs:

• Per-app credentials: assign a unique password or pattern to each protected application.
• Biometric option: supports fingerprint unlocking on devices equipped with a fingerprint sensor.
• Auto-protect new installs: newly downloaded apps can be locked automatically.
• Multiple lock formats: choose from PINs, pattern draws, or gesture-based locks.
• Extended pattern complexity: offers pattern grids far larger than the standard 3x3, letting you use up to an 18x18 layout.
• Lock app behavior and media: restrict access to photos, videos, screen brightness and screen rotation for individual apps.
• Remote control: send SMS commands to lock or unlock apps and the device from a distance.
• Context-based access: schedule automatic locking and set apps to unlock when connected to specific Wi‑Fi networks or Bluetooth devices.

Disguises and anti-intrusion features

To thwart snoopers and brute-force attempts, the app includes several stealth and monitoring tools:

• Fake interfaces: present a simulated lock screen or an error dialog that conceals the real unlock process.
• Reboot persistence: the protector can restart automatically after a device reboot to maintain coverage.
• Intruder alerts: when someone fails to unlock an app, the app can capture a photo and email it to you.
• Attempt limits and recovery: restrict the number of consecutive unlock tries and provide a password reset path if you forget your credentials.

Is it worth installing?

Using two layers of security can add a small amount of extra time to opening apps, but for applications that handle banking, personal messaging, or other sensitive information, the trade-off is worth the greater privacy. Smart App Protector is a convenient, reliable option to help ensure that what’s stored on your phone stays private.
