Hide Login (Optional)
Route a custom slug to login while guarding direct access to wp-login.php.
IP & Country Rules
Whitelist or blacklist by IP/country. Keep internal reviews smooth, keep noise away.
Countdown
Build anticipation with a clear, minimalist timer to launch.
Brand‑ready Visuals
Logo upload, full‑screen background, accent color, themes (Glass/Minimal/Solid), fonts.
Visibility Controls
Toggle badge, logo, site name, message, countdown, button, and more.
Activity Logs
Inspect access attempts with IP, path, device, and coarse geo. Clear anytime.
Security‑minded
Sanitization, capability checks, nonces, and a safe uninstall routine.
Three steps to private perfection
1
Install & Enable
Upload, activate, and toggle Site Lock on. Your public sees the polished splash; your team keeps working.
2
Set Admin Password & TTL
Share one password with reviewers. They unlock once; the cookie keeps them in until expiration.
3
Tune the Look
Pick a theme, accent, and background. Add a CTA and optional countdown to launch.

FAQ
Can my team work normally?
Yes. Logged‑in users bypass the lock, so your editors and developers proceed unhindered.
How do reviewers access?
Share the admin password. They unlock once, and a secure cookie respects the TTL you set.
Will it break my theme?
No. The lock screen is a separate, minimalist layer. Your theme continues to function for logged‑in users.
Can I change the login URL?
Optionally, yes. Enable Hide Login and choose a custom slug to guard direct access.
