What makes it different
- It can't read your screen. Most Android app lockers ask for the Accessibility service, a permission that lets an app see everything on the screen. AppLocker doesn't use it. Usage Access tells it which app is opening, and "Display over other apps" puts the lock screen on top.
- It shows you who tried. PRO A wrong PIN quietly takes a front-camera photo and records the exact code that was tried. The person holding the phone isn't told.
- It's made for handing your phone over. PRO Kids Mode locks every app except the ones you allow, in one tap.
- Nothing to sign up for. There's no account, and the PIN is stored only on the phone.
Descriptions you can use

Long (about 140 words)
AppLocker is an Android app lock built around one moment: your phone is in someone else's hands. The apps you choose, such as chats, the photo gallery or banking, stay shut until your PIN or pattern goes in, and they lock again shortly after you leave them.
Unlike most app lockers, AppLocker doesn't use Android's Accessibility service, so it can't read what's on your screen. There's no account, and the PIN never leaves the phone.
The free plan locks up to 3 apps and shows ads. AppLocker Pro, a monthly subscription, quietly takes a front-camera photo when someone enters a wrong PIN and shows the code they tried. It also adds Kids Mode, fingerprint unlock, unlimited locks and no ads. AppLocker runs on Android 7.0 or later and is available in 9 languages.
