Control App Access (Beta)

The free, open-source tool that lets you password-protect any application on Windows. 

Why Control App Access?

Password Protect Anything

Stop unauthorized access to sensitive applications. Whether it is your browser, a game, or a work tool, if it is an executable file, you can lock it with a password.

Parent-Friendly and Admin-Ready

Perfect for parents wanting to limit screen time or games, and powerful enough for system administrators to lock down workstations.

- Standard Mode: Great for everyday blocking.

- Admin Mode: Prevents circumvention and blocks system tools like Task Manager.

Privacy First

Your data never leaves your computer. Control App Access is 100% open-source and operates entirely offline. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

Key Features

- Smart Lockout: Automatically locks access after too many failed password attempts to prevent guessing.

- Audit Logging: Keep a history of every allowed and blocked attempt.

- System Tray Mode: Runs quietly in the background without cluttering your taskbar.

- Lightweight: Uses minimal system resources.

Disclaimer: This application is currently in beta. I am constantly working to improve it, so you might encounter some minor issues. Your feedback is highly appreciated and helps me make the app better.
