Editor's Overview

TapLock is a security application developed by modelorona, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.1 weighing in at 2.37 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 2.37 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "modelorona" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

TapLock is a minimalist utility that lets you lock your screen with a double tap — perfect for one-handed use and quick screen locking without reaching for the power button.

Create a resizable, transparent home screen widget and double-tap it to lock your phone instantly. TapLock also offers several other ways to lock:

* Home screen widget (resizable, with optional icon and multiple styles)
* Quick Settings tile
* Draggable floating button
* Double-tap the status bar
* Double-tap the lock screen, edges, or corners

Additional features:

* Adjustable double-tap timeout and lock delay
* Optional vibration feedback with light, medium, and strong patterns
* Per-app exclusions so taps are ignored in apps you choose
* Available in English and Spanish

TapLock uses Android's accessibility service to power off the screen. This permission is required for the app to function, and TapLock does not collect any personal information or track any other interaction you have with your device. The full source code is available for transparency.

Note: On devices with Android's Advanced Protection enabled, the system blocks all third-party accessibility services, so TapLock cannot lock the screen while Advanced Protection is turned on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TapLock free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does TapLock require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is TapLock safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by modelorona. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update TapLock?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
