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

Hi Kevin, App Lock sounds like a strong tool for protecting privacy - something that resonates in today’s world. I’m curious, though, from a marketing perspective: What’s your strategy for differentiating this from the countless other privacy apps on the market? Are there any unique features or behavioral triggers you’ve built into App Lock to make it more intuitive or user-friendly?
this looks like a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their website's UX.i appreciate you for this launch.
The design and concept of this tool. i really like it. It feels modern and user-friendly.
I’m questioning about the plans for additional unlock methods, like a password option. When can we expect that feature?
I'm very impressed with App Lock. It's a great solution for anyone who wants to keep their personal data private. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this app.
This app has great potential, but I think it could be even better with some additional features. For example, it could allow me to hide entire folders of apps instead of just individual ones.
I travel a lot for work, and I often have to share my phone with colleagues. App Lock will help me keep my personal data private even when I'm not in control of my device.
I might finally be able to turn my life into a well-organized spreadsheet instead of a chaotic mess. Bring it on! 😄📊
Congrats on App Lock, Kevin! Love the feature to hide private media. Can't wait to see more improvements!
I love that it tracks all aspects of life. It’s so easy to lose sight of everything when juggling daily tasks!
Congratulations, Kevin! The ability to lock private photos and videos with a password is great, especially for privacy-conscious users. The option to completely block and hide apps adds an extra layer of security that goes far beyond what iOS offers. This is a great tool for users who want more control over their privacy, especially in sensitive situations. Good job. @im_kevin_archer
Is there a way to recover my password if I forget it? I don't want to lose access to my locked apps
Hey Kevin, This sounds fantastic! 🎉 I've been on the lookout for an app that can offer this level of privacy and App Lock by Lilucat seems to nail it! The ability to hide apps completely and lock private photos and videos with a password is a game-changer. I especially appreciate how versatile the app is with features like denying app installations and restricting in-app purchases. It's perfect for keeping prying eyes away and ensuring my device stays secure. Can’t wait to see the upcoming password unlock feature! Great work, Lilucat team! 🚀 - @tech_fan12
