Does anyone know a good app locker? My requirements are:

fingerprint is required to open certain apps
no ads
FOSS (nice to have)

The purpose is to avoid having my kid open certain apps on my phone when he borrows my phone.

I haven’t tried these myself but there’s MaxLock for a FOSS option that supposedly still works despite being old. Otherwise I’ve seen AppLock suggested.
