About this app

Keep nosy friends and family out of your private apps. KeepOut locks the apps you choose behind a PIN, password, pattern or fingerprint, and takes a photo of anyone who gets the code wrong.

Everything stays on your phone. There is no account, no sign-up and no cloud. Your PIN, your locked apps, your security log and your intruder photos never leave the device.

LOCK ANY APP
• Lock messaging, social, banking, gallery, email or any other app
• Unlock with a PIN (4 or 6 digits), password, pattern or fingerprint/face
• Choose when apps re-lock: straight away, when the screen turns off, or after a few minutes
• Get asked to lock new apps as soon as you install them
• Profiles for different situations, such as Work, Home or Guest, switched in one tap

CATCH INTRUDERS
• Intruder selfie: after a few wrong attempts, the front camera quietly takes a photo
• Security log of every failed attempt and unlock, with time and app
• Cooldown after repeated wrong guesses to stop people trying code after code

STAY DISCREET
• Disguise the KeepOut icon as a Calculator, Notes or Weather app
• Working calculator disguise: type your code and press = to open KeepOut
• Fake crash screen: a locked app looks like it has stopped, and only you know how to get past it
• Hide the content of notifications from locked apps
• Screenshots are blocked on KeepOut's own screens

YOU STAY IN CONTROL
• Recovery code set up at the start, so you can never lock yourself out
• Back up and restore your settings
• Delete all data in one step
• Light and dark themes

FREE AND PREMIUM
Core app locking is free, forever, and supported by ads. A one-time Premium purchase removes all ads and unlocks extras: more than two profiles, the fake crash screen, more disguise icons, a longer intruder photo history and encrypted backup export. No subscription.

PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED
• Accessibility service: used only to detect when a locked app opens, so KeepOut can show the lock screen over it. KeepOut does not read, collect or share what is on your screen or what you type.
• Display over other apps: shows the lock screen on top of the locked app.
• Camera: takes intruder photos, only if you turn the feature on.
• Notification access: hides notification content from locked apps, only if you turn it on.
• Installed apps: lists your apps so you can choose which ones to lock. The list never leaves your phone.
