About
Snatch Guard is an iOS security app that detects when your phone is grabbed using the accelerometer and instantly locks selected apps — such as banking, messaging, and photos — behind a Face ID-protected shield. The app uses Apple's Screen Time API to apply system-level locks that persist even if the app is force-closed or the phone is restarted. It is entirely on-device with no data collection, no network calls, and no subscriptions.
Problem
When a phone is snatched while unlocked, all open apps remain accessible to the thief despite existing iOS protections.
For
iPhone users concerned about phone theft and unauthorized app access
How it works
The app monitors the accelerometer for sudden jerk movements indicating a snatch, then instantly applies system-level shields over protected apps requiring Face ID or passcode to remove.
