Sign in with the email address you used to purchase. Your PRO features will activate automatically.

Tip: Use the same email you used at checkout. If you have issues, email [email protected].

Why is this a Web App?

Hinchy's Shield for iPhone uses Progressive Web App (PWA) technology. Once installed, it looks and works just like a regular app — with its own icon, full-screen mode, and no browser chrome.

This approach lets us deliver updates instantly (no App Store review delays) and gives you the same protection features as the Android version.
