What's New in Hood

1.0.0

November 4, 2026

A little more breathing room, a few new ways to make it yours. • Find your own stopping point. Choose 15–60 minutes when you open a protected app. When time’s up, Hood locks or hides it again. Coming straight back? A short breathing pause gives you a moment to decide. • Turn small moments into stars. Collect paper stars as you finish app sessions, keep them in your jar, and scatter them into your very own night sky. A little reminder that small steps count. • See where your time goes. Explore your app use today or over the past seven days, and take a closer look at each app. A little perspective to help you make room for what matters to you.

User reviews

Absolutely love Hood!

You can really tell how much care has gone into this app. Hood solves a few very real problems for me, and I’m so glad it exists.

I can hide my private apps without their notifications popping up and giving them away. It’s almost like temporarily uninstalling them, which is exactly what I wanted.

As a parent, I also love that it helps prevent my kid from using my face to approve an in-app purchase when I’m not paying attention. Such a thoughtful feature!

Little things like these make me feel like the developer actually understands what I need. I’m a huge fan, and I’ll happily keep recommending Hood to my friends. Thank you for putting so much heart into it!
