a Password

You can also prevent your children's or your own access to certain apps, such as games or age-inappropriate apps, which helps protect children from inappropriate content.

Lock All Apps Except One

By switching to Allowlist (Mac only), you can limit your computer to one or few apps added to the Allowlist, enabling enhanced control over app access.

Automatically Re-Lock Apps
for Improved Security

Cisdem AppCrypt automatically re-lock apps after they've been unlocked, in the following situations. This adds another layer of security and helps minimize any unauthorized access to your protected apps.

After Apps Are Inactive

If an unlocked app has been inactive for a period of time, it will be automatically locked again. You can enable or disable re-locking for this situation.

How to identify: As long as an app isn't in the foreground on your screen, Cisdem AppCrypt will identify it as being inactive.
Set a time: You are allowed to set the time period to be one minute or however long you like. You can balance security and convenience based on your needs.

When You’re Away from Your Computer

If you have been away from your computer for a while, all unlocked apps will be automatically re-locked. Enable or disable re-locking for this situation as needed.

How to identify: Once you stop using both your keyboard and mouse, Cisdem AppCrypt will consider that you have left your computer.
Set a time: Set the time period to be however long you desire, such as one or five minutes.

When Your Computer Goes to Sleep

After you wake your computer from sleep, you will find that all unlocked apps are locked.

How to identify: When a computer is going to sleep, it sends out “messages”, based on which Cisdem AppCrypt identifies the computer status.
Set a time: There are two scenarios. You put your computer to sleep manually, which doesn't require setting a time. Or, you can configure the Lock Screen timeout in your computer settings to automatically put your computer to sleep after a period.
