Does anyone know a good app locker? My requirements are:

  • fingerprint is required to open certain apps
  • no ads
  • FOSS (nice to have)

The purpose is to avoid having my kid open certain apps on my phone when he borrows my phone.

    Use an app that makes a Work Profile like Island/Shelter and put the important apps in there. Only issue is that they’ll be completely sandboxed from the rest of the system.

    How old/smart is your kid? You could just use a launcher that allows you to hide the apps too

    I haven’t tried these myself but there’s MaxLock for a FOSS option that supposedly still works despite being old. Otherwise I’ve seen AppLock suggested.
