About this app

Hidely is the ultimate privacy companion designed to keep your private media truly invisible. In a world where privacy is increasingly hard to come by, Hidely offers a "digital bunker" for your most personal content, combining military-grade security logic with clever stealth technology.

Protect your personal photos and videos with a user-friendly interface that feels like a natural extension of your phone. Whether you are hiding sensitive documents, private family memories, or confidential media, Hidely ensures they remain for your eyes only.

THE STEALTH SUITE (Unique Privacy Features)

• App Disguise: Go beyond simple passwords. Change the app icon and name on your home screen to mimic a Calculator, Weather, or Calendar app. While others see a utility tool, you see a secret entrance.

• Decoy Mode (Plausible Deniability): If you are ever forced to open the app under pressure, enter your secondary Decoy PIN. This opens a completely separate, Fake Vault containing harmless, decoy images, keeping your real vault hidden in plain sight.

• Intruder Selfie: Know exactly who tried to snoop. Hidely silently snaps a photo using the front camera of anyone who enters an incorrect PIN twice. Captured photos are stored in a dedicated Intruders album inside the vault.

MULTI-LAYERED SECURITY

• Biometric Access: For speed and security, use your device's native Fingerprint or Face Unlock to bypass manual PIN entry.

• Screenshot & Screen Record Protection: To prevent leaks, Hidely employs secure system flags that block anyone (including you) from taking screenshots or screen recordings while inside the vault.

• Face Down Lock: In a sudden situation, simply flip your phone screen-side down. The app will immediately close and lock itself.

• PIN Lockout: After multiple failed attempts, the app enters a temporary lockout phase to prevent brute-force attacks.

INTELLIGENT MEDIA MANAGEMENT

• Private Cloud Backup & Restore: Never lose your data if you change devices. Seamlessly and securely back up your hidden media to your own Google Drive. Backups are stored in an encrypted, hidden AppData folder accessible only to you.

• Recycle Bin Safety Net: Accidentally deleted something? We have got you. Deleted items are moved to a local Recycle Bin for 30 days before permanent removal, giving you time to recover mistakes.

• Clean After Import: Keep your public gallery clean. Once photos or videos are safely imported into Hidely, the app can automatically delete the original files from your device's public storage.

• Custom Folders & High-Quality Viewer: Organize your media into personalized albums. View your content in full resolution with our optimized built-in media player.

• PIN Recovery: Set up a secure recovery question to ensure you never lose access to your data if you forget your PIN.

GLOBAL ACCESSIBILITY

Hidely is built for a global audience. To ensure everyone can protect their privacy in their native tongue, the app fully supports 9 major global languages:
English, Bengali, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Russian, Urdu, and Persian.

PRIVACY MANIFESTO

Hidely is an offline-first application built on a zero-knowledge framework. We believe your data belongs to you, not a third-party server.

• No Unauthorized Uploads: Your files never leave your device unless you explicitly enable personal Google Drive backup. We never see, store, or share your data on our own servers.
• Secure Local & Private Cloud Storage: All media is kept in a private, isolated directory on your phone, with the option to sync to your personal cloud.
• No Tracking: We do not collect analytics, location, or usage data.

Your privacy isn't just a feature; it is our architecture.
