Locked (Focus - Locked by NFC Tags) iOS

Found this app for the iPhone that lets you lock and unlock apps using NFC tags. I’ve successfully used it with the NFC chip on the NExtv2.

It works by leveraging the Screen Time api, and writing a text record to the NFC chip. I also tested having a URL as the first record on the chip, and the Locked text record as the second record, and it still worked despite displaying a message. I’ll be reaching out to the developer to see if that can be fixed.

Interesting, the way they made it work is pretty clever. I tried it and it works pretty well but it writes data to the tag rather than just using the UID which I find unfortunate.

It’s unfortunate it doesn’t just use the UID.

That’s the reason I wrote multiple records to the NExT chip, so I can still use it for multiple purposes.

I reached out to the developer but haven’t heard back.
