Personal app privacy
Hide finance, health, and journal apps on Mac.
Not every private app contains secrets. Sometimes the app name alone says enough: finance, health, journaling, therapy, dating, messaging, or personal planning.
For: Mac users with apps that feel too personal for casual visibility
01
App names can be sensitive
A budgeting app, health tracker, diary, therapy tool, or private messenger can reveal context even when the content is never opened.
02
Everyday privacy is about friction
If the privacy workflow is too heavy, people skip it. PrivyDock is designed for selected apps you want to hide and restore without uninstalling.
03
Be honest about the boundary
PrivyDock is not encryption or password protection. Use FileVault and strong account security for sensitive data. Use PrivyDock for casual app visibility.
Checklist
A practical workflow before your Mac becomes visible.
01Choose the app categories that feel personal.
02Add them to a PrivyDock mode.
03Test Dock, Launchpad, and Spotlight visibility.
04Use FileVault for device-level protection.
05Restore apps whenever you need normal access.
