PTR App Locker turns any Android tablet or phone into a device you control end to end — approved apps only, a built-in browser that opens just your whitelisted sites, zero unauthorised installs, and total command of the whole fleet from one console. The user gets exactly what you allow. Nothing more.
PTR App Locker doesn't suggest restrictions. It enforces them. Approve what runs, approve what opens, block the rest, and command your entire fleet from one screen.
Fresh devices start with everything blocked. Not one app, not one website opens until you explicitly allow it. The safest possible default — not an afterthought bolted on later.
COREApprove the exact apps that stay usable — tick them off a live list of what's installed, no package names to hunt down. Make PTR the home screen and blocked apps disappear from view entirely.
COREA controlled browser that opens only the URLs you approve — and their sub-pages. Every other site is refused at the door. No address bar to wander off, no rabbit holes.
WEBUnapproved browsers simply don't open. All web access flows through the Safe Browser you control — Chrome and the rest stay dark unless you decide otherwise.
WEBEvery install — Play Store or sideloaded APK — is blocked cold. Need to add software? Grant an exact number of installs; it counts down and re-locks itself automatically.
COREEvery install is inert until you issue a unique 16-character code that binds the app to that one device. No code, no activation, no exceptions — and no device counts against your plan until you say so.
SECURITYAllow or deny any installed app, set web rules, meter installs, and push policy to any device from one console. Changes land on the device in seconds, not site visits.
ADMINHide the locker itself with one click. It keeps enforcing quietly in the background while staying out of the user's hands — and you can bring it back anytime, remotely.
ADMINEvery enrolled device in a single view — live app list, web rules, install status, last check-in. Filter by organisation, act on any device, from any browser.
ADMINOptional push delivers commands in seconds. Devices re-sync the moment they're opened and keep a steady heartbeat — so your rules are never stale and offline devices catch up the instant they reconnect.
SPEEDDeploy on devices already in the field — no wipe, no re-provisioning, running in minutes. Want it truly un-removable? Enrol as Device Owner for hardened, tamper-proof control.
DEPLOYA persistent "managed device" notice and a full audit log keep every action accountable. Absolute control — done responsibly, on devices you own or administer.
TRUSTA straight comparison against the popular options. We keep it honest — because you'll test it anyway. Notice the rows the big names leave empty.
