Has anyone heard of this AppCrypt by Cisdem? I'm normally wary of things not FOSS and I couldn't find much information about the app or the company.

I like that I can require authentication (screen unlock) for certain apps on my phone, so I can hand it to my kids and know they aren't opening my work email, etc. I'd like to be able to do that for my desktop as well.

You can do that without this software too. Create separate windows accounts for every member of the family, preferably offline accounts (which are not attached to a Microsoft account and an email address), and put a password or a pin code on yours.

Yes, I'm already set up that way. I have a need for others to use my profile but not be allowed in certain apps.

Oh, I see. What are those needs? Maybe there's a better way.

Why not just using app pinning?

Also, there are some other apps, or even launchers that can do this
