Is there a FOSS app that can hide apps in my Launcher?

Just the title. Launcher: Kvaesitso Android 9 Honor 7x

Edit: I meant apps that are useless, like clutter and do not need to be opened once they are configured.

I still need those apps, like for the keyboard.

Lawnchair can hide, rename and change icons of app starters.

GrapaheneOS/CalyxOS/LineageOS can disable apps, so that they don't appear in the launcher at all. You simply have to re-enable to app from settings to use it.

Alternatively consider multiple phone users on android, put your sensitive apps in a different user account entirely.

Edit: Still, thanks for responding.

Shelter can freeze or hide apps. But I think only in the work profile (Shelter) it creates. Not in the main profile.

I use TinyBit launcher, i think it can do it but i never needed to because junk app quickly go so far in list you just don't see them.

offtopic but you really shouldnt use an OS that hasnt recieved any security patches for more than 2 years now
