Amarok-Hider

What is Amarok?

Amarok is a lightweight Android privacy tool that shields your files and apps from prying eyes without the overhead of encryption.

Traditional encryption tools are secure but slow — decrypting a large movie file or unlocking an app takes time. Amarok acts instantly. It conceals files by obfuscating signatures or adjusting permissions, and hides apps by disabling them or using Xposed hooks. This makes your content invisible to casual snoopers without any performance penalty.

[!WARNING] Amarok is NOT an encryption tool.
Amarok hides data but does not cryptographically secure it. Do not use this tool for high-value secrets.

Features

• One-Click Privacy: Instantly hide or unhide your selected files and apps.
• High-Speed Performance: Hides large files instantly by altering signatures (Non-root) or adjusting file permissions (Root).
• Versatile App Hiding:
  • Root-Free Support: Hides apps from the launcher (supports Shizuku, Dhizuku, and DSM modes).
  • Root Support: Leverages Xposed to thoroughly scrub apps from system menus and 3rd-party detection.
• Panic Button: A discreet floating button to instantly hide everything.
• Quick Settings Tile: Toggle visibility directly from your control center without opening the main app.
• Secure Access: Protect Amarok itself with a Password or Fingerprint lock.
• Camouflage Mode: Disguise Amarok as a Calendar app.
