Thinking About Hiding A Page?

Hide Pages

Question: Is there any way to hide pages on the home screen in order to functionally have multiple loadouts? To elaborate, I'm trying to make it to where clicking a button will change the home screen but also you won't be able to see the previous home screen.


Suggestion: I think you should turn on disallow page transition by touch under key & gesture option

Think about these possibilities

• Using a Window - ​Instead of putting content on a standard Page, create a full-screen Window. Keep the main home screen to just a single page so there is no accidental horizontal swiping at all. Set up an invisible object (like a completely transparent shape), a specific multi-finger gesture, or a hidden long-press to trigger the launcher action: Open Window. ​The content stays completely hidden and un-swipable until that exact trigger is used.

• Move the content for hiding “off screen” - Extend a page vertically and place objects way below the initial viewport. Total Launcher will automatically expand the canvas down as you drag items past the bottom boundary. However, if a user casually swipes up on that page, the launcher will natively scroll down and reveal the hidden items. It’s fine for keeping things out of sight at a glance, but it won’t stop an accidental scroll onto it.

• Use a external automation app - ​While automation apps can't dynamically delete a launcher page on the fly, they to control visibility conditions inside Total Launcher. Put the hidden content inside a container or layout object, and set its visibility to rely on a specific variable status. Then have Tasker or MacroDroid change that variable based on a location, time of day, Wi-Fi connection or gesture causing the launcher to instantly hide or show the container.

• Use Android's private space - To hide sensitive apps with actual security, Android’s system-level Private Space could be the way to go. When Private Space is locked, the OS completely freezes and hides those apps. Total Launcher won't even be able to see or launch them until you unlock the space via the PIN or biometric check. Then combine this with a hidden Window in TL to keep the visual shortcuts out of sight.
