If you are anything like us then you have probably wished that you could put an app, or even an iOS feature behind some sort of additional security. Whether you want to stop your kids from getting into the App Store or have some important information in the Notes app that you want to hide from prying eyes, being able to password or passcode protect apps is a long-requested iOS feature. Apple hasn't added it, but Asphaleia does.
