Let the kids play. Your vault stays locked.
What to do
Underlock is coming soon to the App Store. Here’s how it will work.
If something goes wrong
What Underlock does
Kids tap everything. A child who opens Underlock finds the pattern screen: "Locked", a grid of dots and two links. No photos, no names, no settings, and no button that deletes anything.
- No erasing after wrong tries. Guessing can’t erase your vault, however many times your kids try.
- Locks as you leave. By default, your vault locks the moment you leave Underlock, so your vault is locked before you hand over your iPhone.
- Your passcode doesn’t open your vault. Kids often learn a parent’s iPhone passcode. Underlock opens with your own pattern.
- Your vault isn’t on the iPad your kids use. Photos in your vault aren’t in the Photos app, so iCloud Photos doesn’t show them on that iPad. If the iPad uses your Apple Account and iCloud Photos, your Hidden album shows on that iPad too, behind the iPad’s own lock.
