Apps you've never seen. Charges you didn't make. Settings you didn't change. The work app, gone. Everything you didn't want touched.
01Apps installed you never heard of
02In-game purchases you find on the bill
03Your work and banking apps, opened
04Settings changed when you weren't looking
05The app you can't live without, deleted
"Every time I handed over my phone, my heart skipped."
Sound familiar?
— THE REAL ANSWER
What you really wanted was the middle.
Option A
Ban everything.
The kids explode.
Option B
Total freedom.
You can't look away.
Answer
Let them use it. Just don't show it.
Games and videos, within the range you chose, fully usable. Everything else, never on the screen.
— LIVE LOCK PHILOSOPHY
Not restriction. Curation.
Not restriction. Curation.
— YOUR CALENDAR IS THE REMOTE
Your reach, even from far away.
One event on the Google Calendar you already use. That's all it takes to switch your child's phone from wherever you are.

— ON DAYS LIKE THESE
Working late
On the train, add "Parent mode until 9 pm".
Your child isn't left waiting. You don't have to call.
Exam week
"Full lock, weekdays 7–9 pm" as a repeating event.
The nightly "put the phone down" disappears.
Vacation, or grandma's house
Just delete that week's events.
The phone goes back to normal for the trip, and back to the rules when you're home.
Two kids
One calendar each.
Study and games for the older one, learning apps for the younger. Both from the same screen.
— FOR YOURSELF, TOO
For grown-ups, too.
Pick your own calendar, and rebuild your phone habits one event at a time.
Building a language habitThe browser and social apps close for that hour. Notifications still arrive.
While you sleepOne more privacy lock, app by app.
The "just checking" hoursPut no-phone time on the calendar, every day.
1
One calendar.Create a calendar for your child in Google Calendar and pick it in Live Lock on their phone.
2
Event name = mode name."Full lock", "Parent mode", or the name of a setting you saved. That's the whole language.
3
When the time comes, it switches.When the event ends, the weekly schedule and the everyday mode take over. Today's events sit on top of the weekly schedule.
Getting the calendar ready, and how your data is handled
On versions that show "Create and share a calendar", choose the account on the child's phone and enter the parent's Google email address. After Google's authorisation, Live Lock creates a dedicated calendar and shares it with the parent with permission to edit. The parent simply adds it from the email. You can also choose a calendar you already have.
Live Lock does not edit events; it reads the name and the hours to decide the mode. For details, see the Privacy Policy and the support pages.
Changes arrive through Google's sync. Depending on the connection and the phone, it can take a few minutes.
Your calendar is the remote.

✕No "This app is locked" banner.
✕No PIN screen.

— THE WORLD FIRST
Four things only Live Lock has done.
01
Switch modes from wherever you are
No parent app, no new account: put an event on the calendar you already use and your child's phone changes modes while you're away. Live Lock is the only lock app in the world that works this way.
★ Your Calendar Is the Remote
02
Keep the app alive, lock only the screen
Notifications, Bluetooth and music keep going; kill and uninstall are blocked; your home screen stays as it is. Only Live Lock does all four at once.
Surface Lock × Service Alive
03
The only one that works on DeX
Among child-lock apps that work on a large external display such as Samsung DeX, open source included, Live Lock is the only one in the world.
A bonus for DeX users
04
The silent design that never shows a PIN
The PIN screen itself is never shown to the child. Nothing to peek at, nothing to learn.
Silent Escape™
Four industry firsts. One app.
