Keep sensitive apps out of sight. Use Apple's official Screen Time technology on iOS to shield or hide apps from your home screen. On Android, hide apps from your launcher grid with our custom launcher. No jailbreak. No root. Fully reversible.
Private Me gives you real control over what appears on your home screen — through technically accurate, platform-specific protection methods.
Private Me uses Apple's official FamilyControls and ManagedSettings frameworks — the same Screen Time technology built into iOS. Requires one-time Screen Time authorization.
Private Me becomes your home screen launcher, giving you control over which apps appear in the grid. Set as default launcher once — then hide any app in seconds.
The two platforms use completely different technologies. Here's an honest comparison.
