Protect Apps With Password And Manage Settings From App Switcher With App Control


You might be wondering how to keep your apps locked behind a password and manage quick settings so that it would make things much easier. AppControl is anew Cydia tweak available which lets you rename and manage the volume of an app, manage brightness, and hide the app preview from the default app switcher in iOS. Beside all these features, the app also allows user to set a password one for each app, which resits access.

Once you have installed the app, you will just have to double tap on the home button to bring up the app switcher. swipe the app icon to get the settings panel for that particular app. The settings show detailed information about the last time the app was opened, version, the app name which you can edit, volume and brightness controls and password and hide preview options.

First lets see how this volume and brightness settings work. When you set a brightness and volume level for an app, each time you launch it, the device’s brightness and volume levels are changed to match your settings. When  you exit the app, these levels are not restored to their original position. What this means is that if you have a game or a music app, you can make sure that when launched, it switches to the volume and/or brightness preset.

In order to launch the app, tap 'Launch App' and to exit the settings panel as well as the app switcher, tap the close button at the top right. You can restore an app to its default settings by tapping Restore.


And coming to password, just enable the feature from the Use Password switch and then et a password in the respective field. Each time you access the app, a popup will appear asking for the password. If the password you enter is incorrect, the app will not launch. There will not be any specific indication that you have gone with the wrong password.

BUGS: Once you enter the wrong password, the app in question doesn't open which is understandable, however, tapping it to bring up the password popup again doesn't work the first few times you tap it. Sometimes its a delay added for some extra security but it should be a bit more obvious and come with a way to disable or customize it.
