How it works
One lock screen. Two lives. The code decides.
The HidenOS experience, explained.
One shared lock screen
Every unlock starts from the same plain lock screen. There is no profile picker and no label telling anyone which life is which. Boot and the lock stay neutral.
Your code opens your life
01
Public
Opens the everyday phone: plain stock Android, everyday apps and accounts.
02
Private
Opens the private life: a full separate Android user with its own apps, accounts, files, and storage.
03
Private erase
The private-erase code removes the entire private environment (apps, accounts, files, data, and keys), then opens the public phone.
04
Full device wipe
Wipes the phone. It is a different code from private erase.
Two lives, kept apart
Each life is a complete Android user. Apps, accounts, files, and storage stay on the side where they were put. Install the compatible apps you need in either life.
Recognisable only after unlock
The public life looks like stock Android. The private life carries the HidenOS mark, shown only once you have unlocked into it, never on the lock screen.
Private erase
The private-erase code removes the entire private environment (apps, accounts, files, data, and keys), then opens the public phone.
Built from GrapheneOS
HidenOS is developed from GrapheneOS for Pixel, then adds the two lives. It is an independent project, not a GrapheneOS release.
