Possible to lock/unlock an app when the screen is unlocked?

Using /e/OS Settings

Hey
I’m looking a way to block only one app. So when I unlock my session, this specific app remains locked and I need another step to unlock it.
Is this feasible with Murena OS ?
Thanks !

Hi,
No idea how such things can be done with e/OS, but a solution could be
one of the following apps:

  • Automate
  • Macrodroid
  • Tasker
  • …

I am not familiar with tasker but use both Automate & Macrodroid scripting languages.
Try it with Automate first, the free version should do it with up to
30 blocks running.

Something like this:
create a flow (“script”) with the following blocks

  • App in foreground (when changed) - select the package you want to lock
  • if you want to password protect the app make a “Dialog input” block
  • otherwise maybe just show a message “Dialog message” block
  • make an “Interact” block with action e.g. “Home” for showing the homescreen

This is just a hint, if you are not familiar with programming it is not so easy,
on the other side you can do a lot of things to make life easier.

Regards,

Thanks for your message ! too complex for me, I was looking something already done, just a new setting. Nevermind, I will manage it differently.
Thanks again !
