Lock screen on iPad: event timer, passcode, and remote lock from the dashboard
Bring the Windows event lock screen to iPad and extend it with remote control. Operators want the booth to stay locked until a set start time or a passcode is entered, with an event time window so it locks again automatically after the end time, a customizable message or image with a large countdown to when the booth opens, and the ability to lock or unlock a booth remotely from the dashboard. This lets unattended booths open on schedule and gives solo attendants a way to step away.
Consolidated from 8 customer requests on 3 Sep 2026.
Original request
With the new dashboard, allow a button/way to remotely lock/close or unlock/open a photo booth. Eg. Photo booth isnt open until a certain time you can unlock from the dashboard, or if it needs to be closed for whatever reason you can do this too

It will be interesting to see how BoothCopilot app interacts with the dashboard, or possibly just becomes surpluss, with everything managed under a mobile version of the dashboard?

Yes it would be easy to implement as you already have API Rest

Lock Screen & Event Timer
A dual-purpose lock screen that allows staff to temporarily secure the booth while displaying a customizable message or image. Have it display a large, easy-to-read countdown timer on the screen, indicating when the session will start or resume. This way solo attendants can leave booth unattended for a quick break if needed.

please add also triggerevents for the lockscreen, so I am able to control my Shelly’s (RGBW-Strips, Shelly-Plug for the flash,….)

Feature Request for iPad Version – Event Lock Screen
Hi, I wanted to request adding the same event lock screen feature from the Windows version to the iPad version.
The option to keep the booth locked until a timer ends or a passcode is entered is very useful for events and setups. It helps prevent guests from starting sessions before everything is ready.
Since this feature already exists on Windows, I feel like it would be an amazing addition for iPad users as well.
Thank you!

Please Add Windows Lock Screen Feature to iPad Version
Hi, I would like to request the same lock screen/start screen feature that is already available on the Windows version to be added to the iPad version as well.
The feature where the booth stays locked until the event starts with a timer or passcode is extremely useful during setup and before guests arrive. Since this functionality already exists on Windows, I believe it would be a great addition to the iPad version too.
Thank you for considering it!

Maybe not only a timer but also a setting to starts the booth at 9pm so I don’t have to calculate the time

Event Time (Time Window) for Lock Screen
The event time is specified for the lock screen. The lock screen is automatically enabled until the start date and automatically re-enabled after the end date. Example: Event start: April 30, 2026, 5:00 PM Event end: May 1, 2026, 4:00 AM Result:
The lock screen will be activated until April 30, 2026, 5:00 PM
Use of the photo booth from April 30, 2026, 5:00 PM until May 1, 2026, 4:00 AM
The lock screen will be automatically activated on May 1, 2026, at 4:00 AM

time-based lock feature for the app, where the app automatically locks or stops accepting sessions once the allotted time is over.
Feature RequestI would like to suggest a time-based lock feature for the app, where the app automatically locks or stops accepting sessions once the allotted time is over.
We offer a 4-hour unlimited session package, and once the 4 hours are completed, guests often ask for “just one more session,” saying that only a few people are left.
To help us manage this more effectively, it would be really useful to have a built-in timer that starts with the event and automatically locks the app once the selected duration (e.g., 4 hours) is completed.
This would help us maintain the agreed runtime and avoid awkward situations with guests requesting additional sessions after the package has ended.

Waiting screen
A timeoutscreen that says “booth currently paused” or something like that on screen so if something else happens like printer issues people can see that the booth is down

Timer Lock
Lock Screen & Event Timer to allow staff to temporarily lock the booth display when left unattended. Should be able to display a customisable message to say "the booth will be operational in ___ hours, please come back later". And also an end timer, where you can set the operational time of the booth. Once timer is up, the booth will lock and say "booth hire is over".
