Hidey brings web browsing, video link playback, local file management, and privacy protection into one practical tool. It is built for people who want to save, organize, and revisit personal videos, web references, and everyday files without jumping between different apps. In Browser, you can open webpages, manage bookmarks and history, and play supported video links directly. When a page is worth keeping, save it as a full-page screenshot, snapshot, PDF, or offline copy, then archive it in Files or continue with the iOS share sheet. Files helps you manage local content with import, folders, search, move, rename, share, and favorites. Videos and documents stay organized in one place, so the things you use often are easier to find. Private Space, a launch passcode, and Face ID help protect personal content. Important files stay convenient when you need them and stay hidden when you do not.
