App Hider

App Hider is an Android tool designed to hide applications and media files on your device. It allows you to conceal apps and files, and even disguise its own icon as a calculator, providing a comprehensive solution for keeping your information private. The app supports password protection and includes a cloning feature, allowing you to run separate instances of your applications. It also features a built-in video player, enabling you to view hidden photos and videos directly within the app. With its simple interface and minimal memory footprint, it is suitable for all users.

Features

Hide applications from your system launcher

Import selected apps into App Hider, verify that they open correctly within the tool, and then remove the original apps from your home screen. Once hidden, these apps can only be launched via App Hider, ensuring they do not appear elsewhere on your device. You can also disable notifications for hidden apps through the settings.

Clone applications to support multiple accounts

App Hider can create independent copies of various social media and messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram. This allows you to log in with a different account and use both instances simultaneously without the need for constant re-logging. Cloned versions operate independently, meaning the original app does not need to remain installed. Note that some 64-bit messaging apps may require additional support components to function.

Private photos and videos

Import photos and video clips into a hidden gallery.

View images and play videos directly within App Hider.

Exclude imported files from your system’s main photo gallery.

Disguise App Hider as a calculator

You can transform App Hider into a functional calculator to secure access. Simply set a password within the app; you can then enter this password on the calculator screen to unlock and access App Hider. This adds an extra layer of privacy, especially when sharing a device with others.
