## Description

App Hider is a privacy-focused Chrome extension that helps you hide applications in a secure hidden space protected by a calculator password. It allows you to clone system apps and store the clones in a private hidden area, offering a robust way to keep your apps confidential without rooting your device. The extension features a fake calculator interface which serves as a lock, ensuring only authorized access to your hidden apps.

With App Hider, you can uninstall original system apps after cloning to completely conceal them, or keep both for managing multiple accounts simultaneously. It also hides cloned apps from recent tasks and provides a seamless experience for users wanting to protect their privacy on mobile devices. The app never collects personal information, emphasizing user security and confidentiality.

Most users find App Hider convenient and generally good, with several praising its privacy benefits. However, reliability issues where hidden apps won't open and repeated monetization friction are common complaints. A minority also questions its security, calling it malware. Overall sentiment is positive, but reliability and cost barriers are notable drawbacks.

### Pros

- Perceived as secure and privacy-protective.
- Overall positive sentiment with many reviewers calling it good or the best.
- Demonstrated privacy-use-case like hiding sensitive apps (e.g., Instagram) from others.
