Frequently Asked Questions

Think of your home screen — the screen you see every time you unlock your phone, with all your app icons on it. A launcher is simply the app that controls what that home screen looks like and how it works. Every Android phone comes with a default launcher built in. Stealth Home acts as a substitute for that default launcher — one that looks completely normal on the surface but has a powerful hidden layer underneath.

Once Stealth Home is set up, your phone looks and works completely normally to anyone who picks it up. But you — and only you — know a secret gesture that reveals a completely hidden space where you can store apps that nobody else can see.

You set it up once and it runs automatically every time you unlock your phone. No technical knowledge required.

Yes. Stealth Home works on any Android device running Android 8.0 or higher — Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Motorola, and more. During setup the app walks you through making it your default launcher, which takes about 30 seconds. No root required and no technical knowledge needed.

No. Stealth Home requires no root access whatsoever. It works entirely within normal Android permissions and is fully Play Store compliant.

Yes — Stealth Home comes with a 30-day free trial. No credit card required to start. You get full access to every feature during the trial period.

No. Stealth Home collects zero user data. Everything — your hidden apps, your gesture, your PIN — stays entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to any server, ever.

The Decoy PIN is a second PIN that opens a completely separate, harmless-looking space on your phone. If you are ever in a situation where someone pressures you to unlock your phone, you can hand over the Decoy PIN. They will see only what you choose to show — your real secure space remains completely invisible and untouched.

If you grant Stealth Home the appropriate permissions, it monitors whether a hidden app is opened outside of your secure location. If that happens, you receive an immediate alert — useful for knowing if your phone has been searched without your knowledge.

Not without knowing your specific gesture. Even if someone knows you are using Stealth Home, there is no visible entry point to the secure space. And if they pressure you to unlock, the Decoy PIN gives them a completely convincing alternative view of your phone.

No. Apps inside your secure space have notifications completely suppressed. No banners, no status bar indicators, no sounds. Nothing surfaces at the wrong moment.

Stealth Home offers three plans: Monthly at $3.99/month, Annual at $29.99/year (save 37%), and Lifetime at $59.99 as a one-time payment. All plans include every feature.

Yes. Monthly and Annual plans can be cancelled at any time through the Google Play Store. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.

When you reach the subscription screen in the app, tap "Have a code?" and enter your code. If you are part of our domestic safety program, use code SAFE2025 for 12 months completely free.

Yes. Use code SAFE2025 at checkout for 12 months free. No verification required. We believe privacy and safety tools should be accessible to everyone who needs them.

Your hidden apps are kept safe. When your trial ends you will see a screen giving you the option to subscribe, or tap "Restore my apps to my home screen" to move everything back to your normal launcher. Nothing is ever deleted or permanently lost.

All hidden apps will be restored to your normal home screen automatically. No apps are ever deleted.

Yes, at any time. Go to Android Settings, navigate to Default Apps, and select your previous launcher. Or use the "Return to default launcher" option inside the Stealth Home settings.

Currently Stealth Home is Android only. Because it works as a substitute for the default home screen, it is not possible to build this on iOS due to Apple's platform restrictions.
