No more important apps in plain sight
Calculator Vault : App Hider - Hide Apps is a free mobile utility app that allows you to hide apps and media files behind a calculator’s interface. Developed by Hide Apps (NO ROOT), this handy little application is basically a vault and secure location for keeping your apps away from prying eyes. Not only that but it can store images and videos, as well, and even censors notifications from them.
How do I hide apps in my calculator vault?
Calculator Vault’s basic purpose is to hide apps behind the guise of a calculator. The calculator itself functions like a normal one. However, if you input your 6-digit number password, it will open up its menu and allow you to hide and uninstall applications. Adding and importing them and media files is easy as you simply have to tap the three icons at the bottom of the screen to display your choices.
For an app, you need to test if it opens inside the vault by tapping it and choosing “Launch Dual.” Once it works properly, you can now choose the other option, “Hide”, to uninstall the app from your home page. This will erase your data for that program it but at least it’s now completely out of sight and can only be launched via this utility. This tool is just named “Calculator”, even in the notifications.
This softawre doesn’t require your device to be rooted so it’s easy to use. On its first launch, it will prompt you to create your 6-digit PIN. However, you can’t easily get the app to reset your password if you forgot it. The only workaround to this is if your device has a fingerprint scanner function and you had enabled Fingerprint Unlock beforehand. Additionally, there are ads constantly playing whenever you open this tool.
Password problems
All in all, Calculator Vault : App Hider - Hide Apps is a great utility to have around if you happen to need some apps hidden on your device. It could be for various reasons—such as the device being shared between family members and such—but regardless, you can easily do so with just this application. However, it’s not easy to retrieve your PIN if you forget it and you should expect ads to play every time you open this.
