Stealth Mode lets HypaVault pass for an ordinary utility app. The lock screen becomes a working calculator or an alarm clock, and the app icon can change to match. Someone who opens it finds a calculator that does sums or a clock that sets alarms.
Choose a Lock Screen
- 1Open Settings › Stealth Mode.
- 2Choose a lock screen: Light, Dark, Calculator or Clock.
- 3Pick the matching app icon when HypaVault offers it: HypaVault, Calculator or Clock.
Light and Dark are the plain passcode screen in a fixed look. Calculator and Clock are the disguises. Pair a disguise with its matching icon, so the app looks the same from the home screen to the lock screen.
Unlock the Calculator
The calculator is fully working, with order of operations, %, ± and delete. To open your vault, type your passcode and press =. Any other sum is just arithmetic, and a wrong passcode looks like any other number.
Unlock the Clock
The clock shows an alarm clock's Alarms screen. To open your vault, tap +, type your passcode as the alarm time and tap Save. Anything else just sets an alarm.
Neither disguise ever says a try was wrong or shows a lockout. If you need your recovery options, press and hold the calculator's display, or the Alarms title on the clock.
Change the App Icon
- On iPhone, the icon changes but the name under it stays Hypa, and iOS asks you to confirm the change.
- On Android, both the icon and the name change.
- In the app switcher, the disguise shows instead of the vault.
Practise Once
After you switch, lock the app and open it the way you will from now on, so the new unlock feels familiar before you rely on it. The press-and-hold recovery options are there if you ever need them.
