I would like to introduce our new app - A1Blocker - which can help you hide your apps to protect your privacy even further.
Hiding apps allows you to hide specific apps from Home screen, App Library and Settings app list. Hiding apps aims to give phone owner a quick switch of showing / hiding apps.

Facts about Hide Apps:

- Support iOS 16 and above.
- Hide from Home screen.
- Hide from App Library.
- Hide from App search.
- Hide from Settings app list.
- Some system apps like Phone and Settings can not be hidden. You cannot hide A1Blocker itself.
- Hidden apps do not show notification in hidden state.
- You can run hidden apps by any means (through shortcuts, custom scheme, universal link etc.)
- If you launch an app before hiding it,
it may keep running after triggering hidden state, and you won't see its UI until you un-hide it.

A1Blocker can lock apps by covering them with a shield view.

Typical use cases:
- Hide or Lock games/video apps before giving your iPad to kids.
- Hide or Lock apps which have your private stuff to stop snoopers.

We have web filter blocking specific domains on Safari, Chrome, Firefox and other browsers.
A1Blocker can integrate with Shortcuts seamlessly. You can create your own custom Shortcuts to enable Hide Apps / Prevent deletion with just one click. Even better, customized hiding trigger conditions can be performed, such as turning on low power mode, airplane mode, coughing (sound recognition), leaving or reaching a location (location change), SMS etc.

Privacy: We are fully committed to data security and privacy. No data is collect by this app.

Technical Support: If you run into any issue, just use in-app support to send us an email. We will get back to you quickly.

We are still in active development, more features are coming. Stay tuned.
