Description
Over 1 billion tracking attempts blocked. Featured in The Washington Post (Aug 2021) and Forbes "Meet Lockdown, The App That Reveals Who’s Tracking You" (March 2020).
Lockdown is the world's first Open Source firewall for iOS -- and now available on Mac! Lockdown allows you to block any connection to any domain and protecting your privacy across the web. For free.
— FEATURES —
- Block any domain / service
- Works for all apps, not just the browser
- Useful preconfigured defaults
- See what's being blocked
- Optional VPN for additional privacy
— BEST-IN-CLASS PRIVACY —
- Open Source: Since firewalls have access to *everything* you do, it's critical that any firewall you use should be open source. Lockdown is 100% open source.
- On-Device: Lockdown does its magic on-device and doesn't connect to any servers, or third-party analytics, or anything else. This way, everything you do stays private to you.
- World's Simplest Privacy Policy: Here's the entirety of it (July 23rd, 2019) - "Everything Lockdown does stays on your device, so what you see is literally what you get, and nothing more or less, because that's the way it should be."
— TRANSPARENCY YOU CAN TRUST —
- Other privacy apps lie on their Privacy Policy and secretly sell user data, even if they promise not to
- To solve this issue, the Openly Operated certification requires apps to *prove* their Privacy Policy
- Lockdown is Openly Operated certified with a public 38-page audit report, and audited multiple times by security professionals

Ratings and Reviews
App Stopped Working
App stopped working after the Os 15.3 update! Not sure if it's the update or the app. Hence 3 stars. Worked well for a while! After the update, I logged into app store, on ios, app store stays on even when settings is turned off and no longer blocks nor does it refresh to clear block logs, now the hide link is stays highlighted. And when I click the menu it closes the app. It also doesn't allow me to add to the block list to refresh the list. On ios app the ransomware does not have anything blocked, and says it is under maitenance, on Mac Os, it showed some at first, but not sure if these domains added to block list are interfering with blocking. Please fix this, otherwise the app is great for blocking ads and unwanted trackers. Thanks for your help!
Possibilities are astounding be patient :)
This app has a learning curve. Use privacy report to record addresses you want to block for instance.
I have been suffering from a rogue developer constantly corrupting my devices and practising identity theft and DNS attacks, network extensions,etc. etc. Lockdown has finally provided me with a tool that I can use to curb his incursions. It took me a month of downloading erasing, reinstalling; but now for the first time I am leaving a review on a Mac under my control with no preboot disk and keychain access loops. I am not free of the fool by any means but now I can communicate enough to fight and survive. I cannot thank the staff from the janitor to the developer enough for a breath of air. If I had the money I would pay 500 dollars for this opprtunity. Great Job!!!
Great VPN—when it's on
I'm glad to have the app/service—both the firewall and VPN—on my iPhone and my MacBook. Whitelist and blacklist features are especially helpful. I will gladly pay $99 annual for these combined services.
Why three stars? Two issues. The first: VPN doesn't consistently turn on after login/boot. It's set to automatically enable, but about half the time it doesn't. The second: customer support. I emailed, and emailed, and emailed. No response. So here I am, leaving a less-than-glowing review to prompt a developer response.
