Your data stays yours.

We use Managed Settings / Screen Time APIs only to apply app shields you select during workouts; we do not access or transmit device activity or app usage history.

You choose which apps to shield. We never select apps for you.
SetLock does not sell your personal data. Ever.
We do not share device or app usage data with third parties.
We do not record Screen Time logs, screenshots, or screen recordings.
Workout data is stored locally and may optionally sync across your own devices.
No browsing or message access. No Screen Time logs stored. We only apply the blocks you configure.
Built on Apple Family Controls (Individual mode) — you control your own device only. Not a parental control.

We're here to help.

Common questions.

Does SetLock read my messages or browsing history?

No. SetLock only uses Apple's Screen Time APIs to temporarily shield apps you select. We cannot and do not read your messages, browsing history, or any content within apps.

Can I choose which apps get blocked?

Yes. You have full control over which apps are shielded. Use Apple's built-in app picker to select specific apps or entire categories. You can change your selection anytime.

What happens if my phone isn't nearby?

The Watch app works independently for timing your rest periods. App shielding commands are queued and delivered when your iPhone is reachable. Your workout data syncs automatically.

Can I disable blocking anytime?

Absolutely. You can disable app shielding entirely in Settings, use the emergency unlock button during a workout, or simply end your workout to remove all shields immediately.

Is SetLock a parental control app?

No. SetLock is designed for individuals managing their own focus during workouts. It uses the "Individual" authorization mode of Apple's Family Controls framework—you control your own device only.
