About Amarok
Amarok is an open-source Android tool that hides selected files and apps from view. It conceals files by obfuscating signatures without root or adjusting permissions with root, and hides apps by disabling them, using Shizuku, Dhizuku, or DSM modes without root, or Xposed hooks with root.
Amarok does not encrypt data and does not cryptographically secure hidden content, so it is not suitable for high-value secrets. It is provided as is without warranties, and users are advised to back up important data before use.
