## Description

Find yourself opening social or video apps at night? Smart Hide Launcher is an Android home app that lets you choose when your apps appear.<br><br>Easy home setup lets you choose apps to schedule and everyday apps to place on your home. Start with an example that shows your selected apps every day from 7:00 to 22:00, and adjust the times to suit your routine. Preview your home inside and outside those hours, then save the layout and rules together. Existing layouts and rules are preserved.<br><br>Try it before changing your default home. You can skip setup or open it again from Settings. To add more apps later, swipe up to open the app list, then touch and hold an icon and drag it onto your home screen.<br><br>When you are ready, set Smart Hide Launcher as your default home to return to your layout with the Home button or gesture. You can switch back to another home app in Android Settings.<br><br>Start a visibility rule with an everyday or Monday–Friday time example. Adjust the days and times, then check the current visibility in the preview before saving. If several rules apply to an app, it is visible when any one of them matches.<br><br>Organize your layout with multiple pages, groups, and resizable widgets.<br><br>Visibility rules apply only inside Smart Hide Launcher. Outside their display times, home items use a placeholder icon and keep their label and position. Hidden items do not show notification badges, and the apps leave this launcher’s app list. Rules also apply to apps inside groups, shortcuts and widgets.<br><br>Notifications themselves and access through other apps or Android Settings are not blocked. Apps are not locked or uninstalled. Time-based changes appear when you return home and during periodic refreshes.
