Blocked makes it possible to enforce more robust security and privacy on iOS devices. Once installed, Activator actions can be configured to enter two different secure modes: Sleep mode and Guest mode. Both modes function in a similar manner, by blocking access to certain apps or settings when enabled. This means you can be sure exactly what's happening on your iOS device when lending it to someone, or when it's time to sleep.
Guest mode can be configured to block specific apps under Settings -> BLOCKED. Performing the specified Activator action before handing over the device ensures those items will be locked down. Similarly, Sleep mode can make certain features of iOS such as Notification Center and the like inaccessible until reset.
Exiting Guest mode is as simple as locking the iPhone and entering your passcode. Blocked can even be configured to automatically enter Sleep mode according to a daily schedule.
Blocked is available from the BigBoss repository on Cydia for $2.99.
