Description
Mapplock turns a map into the secret entrance to your private space. Pick a hidden location, then return and double-tap nearby to unlock your vault. Behind it, you can lock apps, hide photos, protect audio and documents, and authenticate with PIN, pattern, or fingerprint. No account required - your vault, secret locations, and private files stay locally on your device. Built in Bhopal, India

Could you build this?
Partial While mapping and vault UI can be built quickly, system-level app-locking on Android requires interacting with Accessibility Services, UsageStatsManager, overlay permissions, and encrypted hardware keystores.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Android development (Kotlin) utilizing `UsageStatsManager` and a persistent `AccessibilityService` or foreground service to detect when target applications are launched. It needs system overlay permissions (`SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW`) to draw the lock screen over other apps, combined with Android Keystore/BiometricPrompt to handle AES-256 encryption for media storage. Vibe coding typically struggles with Android's strict background execution limitations, OEM-specific battery optimizers, and device administrator APIs.
