Walk away from your phone with peace of mind. With just a few taps, you can lock down your phone for maximum protection. Padlock monitors your device for unsolicited activity and sends SMS messages to your trusted contacts when the security of your device is compromised to locate your device. SMS messaging provides a higher chance of recovering a stolen phone.
If you have never dealt with the emotional roller coaster of having your phone stolen, we hope this app keeps that experience at bay!
Key Features:
⭐️ Alert Your Contacts – Immediately following the trigger of an alarm, your selected contacts will receive an SMS message and email message with a notification that your device has been compromised and the current location of your phone. Email messages will also receive a picture of the culprit. Messages are sent directly from your phone when the incident occurs. Pro tip: Add yourself as a contact so you also get notifications!
⭐️ Pictures – Curious who tampered with or stole your phone? Once the alarm goes off (including in Silent Mode) your phone with capture a photo of the culprit and send the picture to your trusted contacts via email message.
⭐️ Alarm Your Device – Lock down your phone to monitor and trigger an alarm for the following features: “Disconnect”, “Motion”, “SIM Removed”, or “Pickpocket”. You can pick as many features as desired! Locking the device is simple. Select any of the features you’d like and click the main lock icon. Your device will be locked within seconds and your selected features are activated.
Toggle between Alarm mode and the *new* Silent tracker mode. Alarm mode enables an audible alarm to go off when the alarm is triggered to notify the culprit that they’ve been caught to help prevent your phone from being stolen. Silent tracker mode is designed to enable you to track people that may be using your device without your permission. Both modes send SMS/email messages with the location of your device and a photo to your contacts.
➡️ Disconnect - Need to leave your phone charging in another room? Set an the Disconnect alarm to go off if someone unplugs your phone.
➡️ Motion - When you want to unplug from technology, motion detection keeps your phone secure while you're away. If your phone is moved even slightly, the alarm trips and blocks access to your phone.
➡️ SIM Removed - Want to protect yourself from SIM swapping? Set an alarm to detect any SIM removal or alteration.
➡️ Pickpocket - A feature perfect for traveling in crowded areas. Using your phone's light sensor, Padlock can detect when your phone is removed from a pocket or purse.
⭐️ Track Events – Curious how often your device has been tampered with? Our new Events page allows you to view a consolidated list of alarms that have gone off, the location of your phone, and a picture of the culprit.
When Padlock's alarm is tripped:
🚨 Countdown Alert - If the alarm is tripped, 20 second countdown appears on the screen, giving you an opportunity to disable the alarm if it was a mistake.
🚨 Alarm Mode Triggered & Messaging- A loud siren sounds, and a startling red screen will go off on repeat until disarmed. A photo is taken of the culprit and the photo and device location is sent to your chosen contacts via SMS message and email message.
🚨 Disarm Alarm - Enter your Padlock pass code to turn off the alarm.
