Cisdem AppCrypt is a dual-purpose application locker and website blocker tool designed to enhance privacy, boost productivity, and implement parental controls on various platforms. It secures sensitive apps and restricts access to distracting or harmful websites using a password and customizable schedules.

Key Features of Cisdem AppCrypt:

Application Locking (App Lock):

  • Password Protection: Requires a password (or pattern on mobile) to launch specific applications, such as WhatsApp, Photos, Mail, banking software, or even System Settings.
  • Auto Re-lock: Automatically re-locks an app after a user-defined period of inactivity (e.g., 10 minutes) or when the screen is locked, maintaining security.
  • Tamper-Proof: Requires a password to quit or uninstall Cisdem AppCrypt itself, preventing unauthorized removal of the restriction.

Mac Allow List: On macOS, there's often an option to lock all applications except a specified list of allowed ones.

Website Blocking (Web Blocker):

  • URL/Keyword Blocking: Allows you to block specific websites (e.g., youtube.com, facebook.com) or block all URLs containing a specific keyword (e.g., "games," "betting").
  • Category Blocking: Offers options to block entire categories of sites, such as social media, adult content, or gambling sites.
  • Browser Support: Works across most popular browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Brave.
  • Allow List: Allows you to block all websites except a short list of approved ones.

    Scheduling and Time Limits:

  • Custom Schedules: You can set specific days of the week and times of the day when apps or websites are locked/blocked. This is ideal for parental controls or dedicated work/study periods.
  • General/Custom Schedules: Apply a single schedule to all blocked items or create unique schedules for individual apps or websites.

    Security Logging:

  • Failed Attempts: Records the date and time of failed attempts to open a locked app or access AppCrypt itself, often including a photo capture (via the device's camera) of the person who tried to access it.
