Yes. Lockify is engineered for minimal resource usage. The background service uses very little CPU and memory, and the lock screen overlay appears instantly without any noticeable impact on device performance.

No. Lockify is privacy-first. All data — including your PIN, pattern, and app list — stays entirely on your device. There is no account system, no cloud sync, no analytics, and no data sent to any server.

Yes. Credentials are stored using Android's SharedPreferences with private mode. They are never logged, never transmitted, and never accessible to other apps.

Lockify requires: Overlay permission (to show the lock screen), Accessibility Service (to detect app launches), and Notification permission (Android 13+). Device Administrator is optional for anti-uninstall protection. All permissions are used solely for app locking functionality.

Yes. You can choose between PIN (numeric, 4+ digits), pattern (3×3 grid, 4+ dots), or switch between them at any time from the Settings screen.

Yes. Lockify supports fingerprint and face recognition on devices where biometric hardware is available and configured. You can enable it from Settings. If biometric is unavailable, it falls back to your PIN or pattern.

Tap "Forgot Password?" on the Lockify lock screen. You'll be prompted to verify your identity using your phone's own device lock (PIN, pattern, password, or biometric). Once verified, you can set a new Lockify password. This requires your device to have a screen lock configured.

If your device has no screen lock configured, the forgot password recovery feature will not be available. You'll see a message prompting you to set a device screen lock first. This is a security requirement — recovery must be tied to a verified identity.
