Vault is a lightweight security companion designed to work alongside launchers like Lawnchair.

Vault does not hide applications from the Android system. Instead, it provides a biometric-protected "safe" where you can place shortcuts to any app installed on your device. It is specifically designed for users who hide apps in their main launcher (like Lawnchair's "Hide Apps" feature) and need a secure, authenticated way to access them.

• 🔐 Biometric Access: Protected by the official Android Biometric API (Fingerprint, Face, or Device Credential).
• 🎨 Lawnchair Companion: Perfect for accessing apps you've hidden from your main app drawer.
• 📱 Customizable Vault: Select any installed app to appear inside your Vault, whether they are hidden in your launcher or not.
• 🌓 Full Dark Mode: Seamlessly respects your system's dark/light theme.
• ⚡ Modern Stack: Built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 for a native look and feel.
• 💾 Safe Storage: Your selection is persisted using Jetpack DataStore.

Many launchers (like Lawnchair) allow you to hide apps from the drawer, but they often lack a quick, secure way to launch them without unhiding them first. Vault fills this gap by acting as a secondary, secure launcher:

1. Hide your sensitive apps in Lawnchair (or your preferred launcher).
2. Add those same apps to Vault.
3. Access them instantly by opening Vault and authenticating with your fingerprint.
