Similar to
Vault
or
HideX: Calculator Lock
, HideU: Calculator Lock makes it easy for anyone to
secure their sensitive data
so they can prevent anyone from accessing and viewing them. It also comes with a clean and modern user interface that is easy to use.
Your privacy vault
Modern smartphones feature pretty good mobile cameras that can more or less replace dedicated point-and-shoots, so it's no wonder people are taking photos and videos now more than ever. These things tend to accumulate quickly, and it can be hard to keep track of your media, specifically the ones you don't want other people to see, for one reason or another. In such situations, HideU: Calculator Lock can help.
This privacy app is basically a
media vault
moonlighting as a calculator app. Use it like any ordinary number-cruncher and open up a secret repository to store your photos and videos in. The same can be done for other things like
documents and text files
. A nice thing about it is that anything you store inside will
not show up anywhere else
, ensuring your data is kept secure.
One bonus addition is that you can
lock applications inside
the vault to prevent access to them, which is especially handy for messengers, phone dialers, or file managers. It's free, so ads are par for the course here. However, the way they appear is
just intrusive
and
sours the experience
. Switch back and forth between apps or access your storage, and you'll have to deal with them every time.
A decent solution
Overall, if you're looking for a way to secure your media or just keep your data private in general, HideU: Calculator Lock is a decent option to consider. It looks nice, is easy to use, and works across your media, files, and even apps. There's only the matter of ads to deal with, but that's not an issue for you, give this one a try.
