Never hunt for a door code again. Padlok pops the code, intercom and floor onto your Lock Screen as you arrive — all of it kept in your own private iCloud.
Stuck in front of an apartment building, scrolling through old messages for the door code? Padlok remembers every door code, gate code, intercom and floor for you — and shows them right when you arrive.
THE CODE FINDS YOU
Get close to an address and Padlok sends a notification with everything you need to get in: codes, intercom name, floor, and your notes. Just passing by? It quietly disappears. That's geofencing working for you, not watching you.
And every address can set its own terms: the hours it may speak up, and the exact area that counts as arriving. No buzz from the office at the weekend, and a circle sized to the building instead of the street.
EVERYTHING TO GET IN, ON ONE CARD
- Door and gate codes, intercom, floor, and any access notes
- Add addresses from Contacts, Maps, or a postal address
- Grouped by town, so you can pull up one place at a time
- Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets showing the nearest address
- One-tap directions in your favorite maps app
- On your wrist too, with the Apple Watch app
SHARING YOUR GUESTS WILL LOVE
Send an address with its codes as a secure link or a QR code. The code carries the address itself, so it scans with no signal on either side. Guests open it in the browser or an App Clip — no account, no install. Perfect for dinner parties, babysitters, and deliveries.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Door codes are secrets, and Padlok treats them that way: they stay in your own private iCloud, out of our reach, and every link you share is end-to-end encrypted, so nobody else can read it — not even us. No ads, no tracking, ever.
MADE FOR EVERYONE
Padlok speaks 26 languages, with full VoiceOver support, free app icon customization, and iCloud sync across all your devices.

App is really easy to use.
Developer Response
Thank you jawshoeadan for your comment ! Very pleased that the app could be easy to use and helpful.
Poor management
TAMARA EX- CASEY TRUSTY
Seems likely me it’d be a great app except stalkers use it download it remote and track you. Going to police station this is not ok.
Developer Response
Wow — that’s a wild claim!To be clear: the app does use location, but that information never leaves your device.It’s all processed locally, with no way for anyone to access or track you remotely.Privacy is built into the core of how Padlok works.I find it extremely hard to believe Padlok could be used to stalk anyone.That said, I take all feedback seriously. If you truly believe this is possible, please explain how via our feedback form so we can investigate and address it — if there's anything to fix.
A round of fixes, big and small.
• Sharing holds up better: imported addresses arrive complete, and if the connection drops, Padlok tells you and offers to try again.
• QR codes turn the screen up wherever you show one, so they scan first time.
• Your filters and the names you give your places stay the way you left them.
Plus quieter fixes for iOS 27, the Lock Screen widget and icon search.
