## Description

**Hyde App Hider — The easiest way to hide apps and media.** Hyde creates a secure hidden vault where you can instantly hide apps, photos, videos and social apps with a double-tap and a pattern lock. The launcher hides selected apps (and can hide itself), keeping your phone private without extra setup. Fast, simple and effective for preserving privacy on shared devices.

Use Hyde to hide messaging and dating apps, galleries, payment apps, games, or any sensitive content. Set a pattern the first time you open the app, then double-tap to hide/unhide in seconds. Ideal for parents, privacy-conscious users, and anyone who wants a discreet, secure way to manage which apps are visible.
