LendLock
Hand over your phone.
Not your privacy.
Lock the apps you choose before your phone lands in small hands. Unlock with Face ID when you get it back.
Free with a one-time Pro upgrade · iPhone & iPad · iOS 17 or later
Made for the handover moment
“Can I play on your phone?”
They get the games. Messages, Mail, photos and purchases stay locked — one tap before you hand it over.
The kids' iPad
Install LendLock on their iPad, choose what's allowed, and lock the settings behind a code only you know.
Anyone else
A guest borrowing your phone or iPad — lock what's private, hand it over, and take it back with Face ID.
How it works
Pick your apps once
Choose whole categories or exact apps, and save named setups — Guest, Kid, Sleepover.
Tap to lock
One tap in the app or on the Home Screen widget. Locked apps show a block screen and stay quiet — their notifications are suppressed too.
Face ID to unlock
Only you can undo it. Set a private 6-digit LendLock code if the people you lend to already know your iPhone passcode.
Why not just use the built-in lock?
iOS can require Face ID for an app, but it's all-or-nothing: leave it on and you change how your phone behaves every day — locked apps stop showing up properly in places like CarPlay. LendLock is a toggle instead. Nothing is restricted while the phone is yours; one tap locks things down the moment you hand it over.
Want the full tour?
The user guide walks through everything in five minutes — first lock, custom unlock codes, named setups, the widget, and locking down a kid's iPad.
Private by design
LendLock enforces everything with Apple's own Screen Time system, on your device. It has no servers, no account, no analytics, and makes no network requests. Your app choices never leave your phone. Read the privacy policy →
