Tools to lock individual apps

The problem, in plain words: “I want to lock each app on my phone behind its own separate password so every app can require a different passcode.”

AppLocker • Passcode lock apps fits best.

You want app-by-app protection on your phone so each app can use its own passcode instead of a single shared lock.

Best for: iPhone and iPad users who want each installed app protected with its own passcode.

Partly fits

App Lock - Lock Apps, Passwordpartial · 61

It’s an Android app-locker that focuses on locking apps with password/fingerprint/pattern, but the listing is less explicit about setting a different passcode per app (it emphasizes locking apps and privacy protection).

Won’t cover: It may be more about choosing lock methods for app access rather than guaranteeing a separately configured passcode per individual app.
