App lock

Your calendar says a lot about your life. App lock keeps it for your eyes only, asking you to unlock KashCal before anything inside it shows.

What it does​

When App lock is on, opening KashCal shows a lock screen that hides all your events until you unlock. You unlock with whatever your device already uses: fingerprint, face, or your screen lock (PIN/pattern/password).

In Settings you'll find it as App lock, described as "Require unlock to open KashCal" and "Unlock with fingerprint, face, or screen lock."

Turning it on​

App lock is off by default. Turn it on in Settings. You'll need a fingerprint, face, or screen lock already set up on your device:

Set up a fingerprint, face, or screen lock in system settings to use App lock

Once enabled, KashCal confirms:

App lock on. KashCal will ask you to authenticate next time you open it.

Turning App lock off asks you to authenticate first, so someone holding your already-unlocked phone can't quietly disable it. If you cancel that prompt, the lock stays on.

Good to know​

  • App lock is a privacy screen for the app. It controls who can open KashCal on your phone. It's separate from how your calendar passwords are protected, which happens automatically with strong encryption (see Privacy & Security).
  • Because it's tied to your specific device's biometric/lock, the App lock setting isn't included in settings backups.
