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.

Coming soon to the App Store 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, or someone who just needs one call — allow-only mode leaves a couple of apps working and blocks the rest.

How it works

1

Pick your apps once

Choose whole categories or exact apps, and save named setups — Guest, Calls only, Kid.

2

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.

3

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.

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 →
